The ravenhood7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Given its pre-feminism timeframe, the marriage between Will and Katherine is a polar opposite from Cora and Michael. ![]() Her loveless relationship also leads to her becoming somewhat a terrible mother to Francis who sees Martha as more of a mother figure.Ĭora doesn’t come to a realization that the brokenness of her marriage and love in any relationship should not be one-sided until she meets Will. Because our past experiences with love are what we base our love language on. You can clearly see how we have been loved will affect how we continue to love others. It comes to no surprise that Michael’s abuse shaped Cora’s perspectives of love which almost led her to spiral into her next relationship with narcissist Luke Garrett. Michael and Cora’s marriage seemed perfect since Michael is a respectable member of society but Michael was, in fact, an abusive spouse. As a new widow, Cora unwittingly begins to reflect on her marriage to Michael. The first example would obviously be Cora and Michael. ![]() It was hard to ignore the theme of love in this book with many seemingly parallel examples of love. How do you love? “I’ll fill your wounds with gold” ![]() I want to caution future readers of The Essex Serpent to not get lost in finding out if the serpent is real or not. I really enjoyed the journey it took me on with each chapter. The Essex Serpent is the first book in a long time that I actually enjoyed from my book club. ![]()
