I think there’ll be some similar feelings of hurt in Bridgerton because Colin has made Pen feel inadequate and she’s treated poorly/laughed at by some in Colin’s social circle and social circle adjacent.

He of course struggles with feelings of shame. The main character is at a very fancy school on scholarship and the main conflict is the popular boy likes her but it’s hard for them because of class differences. I think there’s some Pretty in Pink aspects for sure, I only just watched it earlier tonight because of this thread. And definitely not because she thinks he did it on a whim and feels honor bound. I hope she makes him sweat just a little, not much. I just feel bad for Pen because it took him so long to catch up. Our boy is going to grow up and learn about feelings and what they mean. It's all shallow flattery and smiles, then get out quickly. He always avoids the society ladies when he can, never stopping long enough to have a true conversation with them. He can't stand Cressida or any of the other ladies in the Ton. He's a charmer, for sure, but he never is truly happy around anyone except his family and Pen. If he would have stopped for a second and thought, "Would I do this for Fife? Would I constantly seek out Cho?" he maybe would have realized sooner. He just didn't know what actual love felt like and confused it with regular friendship. That's it! I hope you enjoyed this! Maybe I'll do an updated one for future season.Īlso, I have NO idea what would be the corresponding one for QC (Queen Charlotte). Season 3: Trope of \"Tutor-to-Love turned Love-Interest\": She's All That And of course that is bashed on the Greek myth of the original guy who carved a statue so beautiful he fell in love with it, that the goddess of love, Aphrodite, felt pity for him and turns the statue to life, and they got married. The story is of one where a man helps a woman turn "polished", but falls in love in the process. Also, shout out to the original story, "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw and it's musical adaptation, "My Fair Lady". Colin tutoring Pen in love), my vote is for, "She's All That". Season 3: Trope of "Tutor-to-Love turned Love-Interest": She's All Thatĭisclaimer, I'm not sure how Season 3 is going to go down, but based on what we've heard about the plot (i.e.

Season 2: Trope of \"Enemies to Lovers\": 10 Things I Hate About You Love conquers all! We have come a long way as a society in how we see marriage.

Instead it's people breaking down their walls to find love, beneath their firm exterior.
#Simon bridgerton movie
However, I appreciate how it's not a "taming" of anyone in either movie or show. They also have a younger sister who wants to get married/date but Kate c-blocks them. So funny story: "10 Things I Hate About You" is actually an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew", and in all 3 cases, the FMC is named "Kate".

Season 2: Trope of "Enemies to Lovers": 10 Things I Hate About You Season 1: Trope of \"Fake-Relationship-to-Real One\": To All the Boys I've Loved Before It's funny that these are both Netflix, and I really love how this is done well (fake relationship movies can go so bad, but they are handled deftly, as well as the slow-but-sure fall of both Simon/Daphne, and Laura Jean/Peter. So the fake-relationship-turns-real is the main plot in both Bridgerton Season 1 and "To All the Boys I've Loved Before". Season 1: Trope of "Fake-Relationship-to-Real One": To All the Boys I've Loved Before So I compiled the Teen Romance Movies that each season of Bridgerton matches (and my guess for S3).
