Re: The Worst of Bysshe Shelley : Zastrozzi , or my first impressions

Chapter IX continuation :

Quote:
when she had retired from Verezzi, when he had talked with tenderness, as he was wont, of Julia, and sworn everlasting fidelity to her memory, would Matilda's soul be tortured by fiercest desperation.
..........realy ? Do I have to.....

Quote:
The violent grief of Verezzi had subsided into a deep and settled melancholy; he could now talk of his Julia, indeed it was his constant theme; he spoke of her virtues, her celestial form, her sensibility, and by his ardent professions of eternal fidelity to her memory, unconsciously almost drove Matilda to desperation
Oh lord , he's recycling whole paragraphs within the same chapter .

Chapter X

Quote:
Verezzi's illness at last assumed so dangerous an appearance, that Matilda, alarmed, sent for a physician.
Uhm , we just went through with this last chapter .

Quote:
Matilda proposed to him to remove to a retired and picturesque spot which she possessed in the Venetian territory.
Yes thanks for telling us what property she owns . Now can we please find out who she IS ? And maybe even the protagonist that matter ? Or if you realy wanna go the extra mile , then maybe the title character ?

Also another mention is made of how Verrezi is driving Matilda to desperation .....we get it .
