I've always imagined Dickon for many reasons
but some people think Colin
Although Colin is her cousin isn't that the time period where people still married there cousins ?
I wondering if anyone knew or had read the book and it says ?
Maybe it was ment to be :)
In one of the versions didn't Dickon die? I remember something about him going off to war and being killed in battle. Mary and the older grounds keeper were talking about how it was how he would have wanted to go, in the forest surrounded by plants and animals.
shareI don't get why everyone's getting on at people who ask this question. The book might not have alluded to it, but some people do like to wonder what happened next to their favourite characters.
Historically speaking it's definitely unlikely that Mary would have ended up with Dickon because of social class. Anyone who's read 'Wuthering Heights' knows that social status was definitely more important than love. All the same, I wanted her to end up with Dickon when I watched the movie as a teenager - not Colin, because that would've been too weird for me no matter how socially acceptable it was.
'Love is becoming a blank that lovers must fill in themselves'
Who says she has to end up with either of them? Most people haven't met their future husband/wife yet when they're only 10 years old.
So glad to meet you, Angeles.
