When Charlotte reads Anne's poem out loud, having started to resite it before realizing how it will speak to the situation...and when she does, her voice breaks ...that gets me every time . Everyone is exceptional in this production.

I got to say it, Emily was the toughest of the group. I really liked her book Wuthering Heights!

She said that no doctor was going to poison her. I believe it was mainly a personal choice. In her era tuberculosis was a fatal disease, so perhaps she didn't want to spend her last days as a sick person.

I only know that her last words to Charlotte were "If you send for the doctor, I will see him now". I don't know if they were all present to her death.

In 6:21 Nichols could not have brought the magazine with the article about Acton Bell. He was not aware even a year after Shirley was published that Charlotte was Currer Bell, so since Anne died before Shirley was fully written, he didnt know anything about their professional life. It was introduced as a scene only to show how thoughtful Nichols was always towards Charlottes family.

In those days, there wasn't much that doctor's could do, and the medicines often contained poisons. This was before antibiotics and an understanding of bacteria/viruses. Some quacks were still blood-letting. She knew that there was no cure, only death. We're so lucky that we have antibiotics, let's hope they continue to work.

Yes that preface was pretty awesome. Simple yet powerful. Charlotte comments to her publisher that she liked it too.

Oh! I hate how so many great artists like Anne die not knowing how much they did do good in their lives and that their art lives on. ;(. I wish the doc had included parts of Anne's written response to her sexist critics!

I really don't know if there are many letters of his that have been saved or they just made into dialogues things that we know about him.

Tuberculosis was epidemic in the nineteenth century. You can Google "famous people who died of TB" and will be amazed. They called it "consumption" because the body wasted away. They didn't know about germ theory until later in the century, and then people were encouraged not to spit. TB can live inside a person for decades or can kill them quickly... depends on the immune system. Tendency toward TB can run in families. The Brontes all had it. So did most of the Thoreaus.

@koljenny It is not easy to diagnose a dead person and especially someone you have never known. However all the Brontes didn't fell comfortable in the presence of others, they were shy and reclusive. They kind of never fitted in. Charlotte was a little braver because she wanted to communicate and Ann was more practical, but Emily didn't seem to need the company of others except her brother and sister and her family circle.

@koljenny You will read many unfair opinions about both Charlotte and Emily.My opinion is that simply Emily had psychosomatic symptoms whenever she left home.While she was at Roe Head her health failed her.Charlotte sent her home because she didn't bear to lose another sister.Emily left home another 2 times: to teach to a school (that was near 8 months I think) & to go to Brussels with Charlotte for a year.She was also acting as a housekeeper for her father when at home so in a way she worked.

If Emily Bronte were alive she'd probably be climbing Mount Everest or flying to the moon as an astronaut or who knows... My point is..this lady was TOUGH.

@koljenny Consumption was a kind of catch-all term, though I've heard it mostly associated with tuberculosis. Milk was not pasturized, and children were not universally vaccinated. Keats died of tuberculosis, which is truly a slow, painful and terrible death. Considering how easily TB can be spread, it's not that surprising that Anne caught it too.

Do you know if the parts were Rev Bronte is speaking as an old man are taken from letters of his or just made up for the documentary? Parts of his comments I know are from his letters but some parts I don't remember?

Arthur Bell was much more handsome and more like St. John Rivers in real life. I did a lot of research, they did not do him justice in this story.

@koljenny The main treatment for tuberculosis was segregation, in a sanitorium. A fair portrait of the treatment of the time, and the disease itself is Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain."

The story of this family is depressing as hell. They were worse than the Kennedys. People & factions were after the Kennedys. The Brontes were just cursed.
