Kindred Spirits: Eloise, Theo, Francesca, and John

A lot of people compare Eloise and Theo to Anthony and Siena or Colin and Marina: where one is simply a plot device for the other. While I have my own thoughts regarding this that I won't get into, I think a more apt comparison for Eloise and Theo is Francesca and John.

We see both relationships develop, and we see a real connection between these couples despite Eloise and Francesca ending up with different people in the books. Eloise and Theo feel like "kindred spirits" due to their shared interests, and so do Francesca and John.

Theo and John also share Eloise and Francesca's love language: politics and literature, in Eloise's case, music and peace, in Francesca's case. We see this when Theo sets aside books for Eloise and when John rewrites music for Francesca. Personally, I prefer these moments to some of the grand love confessions we see in the show (which I also love, don't get me wrong). Actions speak louder than words for a reason!

Both Theo and John can also offer Eloise and Francesca the life they want: Theo offers Eloise a life outside of high society, John offers Francesca a peaceful life.

In case anyone cares, I recently (minorly) rewrote The Manuscript! No drastic changes were made (the changes are mostly related to dialogue), and most people probably won't even notice a difference lol. I thought I would still list the most changed scenes, in case anyone is curious.

Chapter 2: Drunk call (first vignette).

It would have been fun if someone wrote a fanfic that is a crossover between the movie Anastasia and Bridgerton.

Eloise Bridgerton is then anya/Anastasia, the last Bridgerton alive.

Theo Sharpe is Dimitri the skilled con artist who is also a feminist.

Footman John is Vladimir also a con artist that say he was duke before the war.
