Assignment Lesson 2

Marie’s example show: Bridgerton’s Three Circles of Characters.

What I learned doing this assignment is that the characters are gathered by “worlds”: Daphne’s world, Antony’s world, Simon’s world, the town’s world that lady Whistledown represents. Their connection to the main character is obvious.

Main characters: Daphne, Antony and Simon, + the voice of lady Whistledown.

Connected characters:

1/The whole Bridgerton family (Violet, the mother, Benedict, Colin, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, Hyacinth the siblings) Siena (Anthony lover), Rose (Daphne’s maid and confident). Mrs Wilson the housekeeper, Humbolt, the butler.

2/The whole Featherington family (Archibald and Portia, the parents, Philippa, Prudence, Penelope, the daughters), their cousin Marina and their housekeeper Mrs Varley.

3/Queen Charlotte, her butler, her secretary Brimsley and Lady Danbury (doyenne of London’s society and Simon basset’s adoptive mother), Jeffrey (the Basset’s butler), Simon’s boxing partner.

4/ Nigel (Daphne’s prospective husband), his mother, his maid. Geneviève de la croix, the dressmaker. Cressida (Daphne’s rival).

5/ Simon’s past: Mother, father, governess.

Environment circle:

Queen Charlotte’s court.

Balls: musicians, waiters, guests

Streets of the town: passersby.

Theater: audience, singers.

Simon’s father household when Simon was a child.
