reading more of anne lister’s actual diaries and wow. she truly loves mariana for her entire life. i often wonder if she thought about ever leaving ann for mariana, when their marriage got unhappier, if she could have convinced mariana to run away from charles with her.

#???.txt #anne lister #mariana lawton #tragic star crossed lovers kinda shit man #mariana was too young and not brave enough to reject her forced marriage #and then was too scared to actually leave charles even when she was miserable and not even friends with him #mariana was younger than ann walker when she was married off to charles oof #its also heartbreaking to learn that charles lived to be 90 fucking years old #and mariana is just chained to him for 38 years of her life #in love with anne but trapped inside a prison of her own #ann walker had a gilded cage but mariana was as good as shackled to lawton hall
