Howards End

My heart absolutely broke last night watching the final instalment of Howards End on BBC1. Leonard Bast was my absolute favourite character and I was totally enamoured with his storyline, especially his relationship with Helen Shlagel. The often cruel and frequently explored themes that investigate the class system and its consequences and even humanity as a whole are displayed in such a raw way by E. M. Forster and he presents British society and all its hypocrisy in a realistic and devastating way. The 4 part series has been a roller-coaster of emotions. I originally was totally against watching yet another period drama on the BBC but I quickly fell in love; with the characters being in my thoughts throughout the week until the next instalment. In tonight’s episode there was some beautiful, infuriating, stunning moments but it left me with a very bitter-sweet feeling... <3
