I'm just finishing another fill (very cute and fluffy, total contrast to this and to my usual writing style, hah) but I do plan to sit down and read it through thoroughly, so you may get a tl;dr of a response there.
It may be because I'm creepy by nature but... I hooked into the dark side of the song pretty well straight off. I hadn't heard that there was a second part before, though. I know what you mean about some people reading things wrong, but you always get that. Wuthering Heights is, of course, the classic for that one. But the whole situation in abusive relationships is damaging, and often (but not always) linked to vulnerability, on both sides, the only time that you really can draw parallels between the two sides I think.
Nah, it's fine, I don't think you're ranting at all. I think it is an important issue, and that it's good that people are aware of it. I hadn't considered Jane Eyre in that light before, I may need to reread it. Though with my dark streak, it might explain why I found the work of the Brontës more alluring than the work of, for example, Jane Austen...
(As an aside, if you read Twilight starting with the presumption that Edward casts a spell of obsession over Bella, it gets a lot more interesting.)
