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.

I so desperately want to know if either of these deleted scenes are related to Theo. The second one definitely seems like Bloomsbury.

My favorite example of girl math is when David Hilbert and Albert Einstein couldn't solve how energy conservation worked in general relativity, so Hilbert asked Emmy Noether about it and she solved it for them.

Theo Sharpe season 5 leading man for sure!!! Theloise will be back!!

Yes, Pen said she would never bring scandal on Marina or her own family. But tbh Marina was a bitch and kind of deserved it.

Calling Hour Snippet

(Summary: Theo calls on Eloise.)

“They appear to be quite fond of insulting one another,” Benedict noted, a gleeful expression on his face.

“Indeed,” Anthony replied dryly, still struggling to process the lunacy occurring right before his eyes. Eloise had just insulted Theo, who responded by throwing his head back and laughing.

Dear God, Anthony realized with no small amount of horror, they were flirting.
