If I have to choose the character I love the most from the miniseries is John Thornton. As you say those tiny flahes of vulnerability in that apparently always stern countenance are simply amazing and shows what a good actor he can be. (I adore him for giving life to such a great character). His proposition to Margareth is simply amazing and it hurt me so much watching him suffer. I love the previous scene with his mother where he says that she won't have him... and later on when he comes back from Margareth's house and his mother is waiting! I suffer so much for him every time I watch it!

The moment when Margareth says those words in a letter to Edith: 'I've seen hell and is snow white...' are probably the lines best accompanied by images I have ever seen!! Thornton walking in the Mill with the white cotton particles in the air. Simply amazing.

The music is simply fantastic... I still am surprise there is no oficial soundtrack!!

Glad you like it.

(I feel awful for self promotion but I do have icons from North and South previous to the ones I posted the other day with Richard. There are also great icons in the communities: bbccostumedrama and little_women.)

Your icons are beautiful, ginger001! I had seen them before as well, and then Koala pointed them out again yesterday!

I want a soundtrack from this quite badly.

I love the proposal scene for its passion, for Thornton's strength of expression. I love the way that he cries out that he doesn't care about her reputation, only that he loves her! GAH! And when he goes home, how he kneels beside his mother to tell here that she won't have him, as he'd feared. He needs a hug so badly.
