Umboniso owawuthengiswa njenge-boundary-pushing, i-Netlfix's hit IBridgerton , esandula ukuvuselelwa ixesha lesibini, yayiyintlawulelo yothando. Ewe, zininzi iindawo ezibonisa ubuqhetseba ezijolise kwisibini esiphambili sikaDaphne kunye noSimon esiqinisekileyo ukuba sasicacile- kwaye sinempikiswano- ngemigangatho yeNetflix, kodwa akukho nto ibuyise isondo apha. Kwaye lolunye lokuphoxeka okukhulu ukusukela IBridgerton kukuba phakathi kweendawo ezininzi ezithandanayo zothando, asizange sifumane nabuphi na ubudlelane bokumkanikazi ngaphandle kokudlula, kwaye akukho namnye wabantakwabo bakaBridgerton abalinganiswa okanye abalinganiswa abaphambili ababonakala ngathi bangabanqolobi okwangoku.
Oku kwandothusa kwaye kwandikhathaza, kuba iziqendu ezininzi, ndandicinga ukuba ubhuti wesibini waseBridgerton uBenedict wayemelwe njengendlovukazi. UBenedict ubonakala engenamdla kwiindibano zothando zosuku, kwaye uthetha nodadewabo oqhubela phambili u-Eloise (onokuthi afundwe njengowokugqibela) malunga nokungafani nokufuna izinto ezingaqhelekanga. Kwaye emva kweziqendu ezininzi, uBenedict ubonakala esoyisa ukoyikeka kwakhe kwaye etyelele umzi wegcisa elirhabaxa uSir Henry Granville. Umboniso uthathe iintlungu zokudlala amandla phakathi kukaBenedict naseGranville ngendlela engavakali ncam ukuba yenzelwe ukungabinayo i-subtext.
Indlu yaseGranville kunye nemibhiyozo yayo yobugcisa kulapho uBenedict avula khona umnyango aze adibane neGranville nenye indoda. Lo yayingumbono ogculelwayo IBridgerton Iitreyila, kwaye ubuncinci bacebisa ukuba siza kubona uhlobo oluthile lwamanqwanqwa okuthandana. Kodwa uBenedict uvale ucango ahambe ayokufumana amashumi amathathu nabafazi ababini. Emva kwexesha, uGranville uyamcacisela ukuba usemtshatweni wokulungela kunye nomfazi oqondayo kwaye uthandana nendoda awayekunye nayo. U-Benedict akayikhathazi ngokukodwa yile nto, kodwa akabonakali echonga kuyo nayiphi na. Ukwanemibuzo malunga nokuziphatha kwesithandwa sikaGranville sokuthandana nabafazi abancinci ngenxa yokubonakala.
Olu luhlu luvale ngokungaqhelekanga kukaBenedict inyani yokuba ufuna ukulala nomntu wasetyhini ongamkelekanga-osisilumko ngenxa yodidi lwentlalo-imodiste entle, uMadame Delacroix. Le… intle kakhulu ikopi ethe ngqo yongquzulwano umntakwabo omkhulu u-Anthony ajongene nayo kwezothando kunye nomhlobo osenyongweni kaMadame Delacroix, imvumi entle uSiena. Ayisiyonto ityhila ngakumbi okanye inguquko. (Ayindim ndedwa ndicinga ukuba uBenedict wayephuhliswa njengendlovukazi; bona iziqwenga Iidayari zeKito kwaye fangirlish , Imisonto emininzi Kwi-reddit , kunye nabalandeli abatyhola umboniso we queerbaiting .)
Ewe asinakutsho ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uBenedict akayindlovukazi, okanye nokuba ngamaxesha exesha elizayo IBridgerton unokuphonononga loo nto kuye okanye angenise abalinganiswa abatsha kwindawo ebonakalayo. Kodwa singaphoxeka kukuba ixesha lokuqala belisilela kule ndawo, ngakumbi kuba umboniso ubonakala ngokuzisa ukumelwa esingasoloko sikubona kumaxesha ngamaxesha. IBridgerton Sele kukudibanisa okumnandi kwexesha le-Regency elaphula imiqobo ngokufakwa kwayo. Kodwa kanye njengokubandakanywa kobuhlanga kubonakala ngathi kubile kunxibe iifestile ekugqibeleni, IBridgerton yenza kuphela ixesha lomzobo ongacacanga we-LGBTQ +.
Ibali likaGranville alibonakali kwi-arcs yeploti konke ukugcina ukunceda uBenedict axhumane noGenevieve Delacroix. Kwaye noxa uGranville ekhala ngelithi akanakupapasha ukuba kunye nale ndoda ayithandayo, malunga nokude kunye nokufutshane kwayo. Akukho nanye kwezi eba nokuba ngumxhesho kumaphepha eentlebendwane zeLady Whistledown.
Abanye ngokungathandabuzekiyo baya kuthetha ukuba akukho nyani i-LGBTQ + emele ukufunyanwa kwiinoveli zaseBridgerton nguJulia Quinn apho uthotho lusekwe khona. Akukho mntu u-gay ngokukodwa, njengoko uDecider esitsho , sakhankanywa de iNcwadi 8. Kodwa akukho apho nalapha. Kuninzi esele kongeziwe kwaye kutshintshiwe kuthotho lwencwadi kwindlela eya kwizikrini. Olu lulungelelwaniso olukhululekileyo lomsebenzi kaQuinn, hayi ukuzonwabisa ngokudubula.
Ukuba yonke into kufuneka ihlale inyanisekile kumbono wokuqala kaQuinn, IBridgerton iya kuba ne-white-cast kwaye ngaloo ndlela ilahle enye yezona ndawo zayo ezinkulu kunye neendawo zokuthengisa. Akukho sizathu sokuba abalinganiswa abangafaniyo kunye nothando olukumgangatho ophezulu babengenakunikwa ixesha kunye nendawo. Zininzi iinoveli zothando lwamanqwanqwa kunye nentabalala yokuthandeka okusetiweyo kwiRegency kule mihla. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo zazininzi iziganeko zembali ezirekhodiweyo kunye nabantu ngexesha leRegency elinokuthi litsaleleke kwimpembelelo enkulu.
Kwakuloo minyaka kusetwa ngayo iincwadi zikaBridgerton, iBritane wabona uninzi lwamanyundululu apapashwe kakhulu malunga nobufanasini, obabungekho mthethweni kwi-Empire. Oku kubandakanya ukuhlaselwa kwezindlu ze-molly (iindawo zokuhlanganisana kwamadoda athandana namanye amadoda) ngamapolisa oqeqeshiweyo aseLondon, amarhe okutshata ngokufihlakeleyo kwabantu abathandana besisini esinye, kunye nokuphindaphindeka esidlangalaleni kwabantu abatyholwa ngezenzo zobundlobongela. Ngelishwa, amadoda (omnye wabo bonke abaneminyaka eli-16 ubudala) ayenjalo ixhonywe kwi-buggery. Kodwa ngaphaya kokunyanzelwa okungqongqo kwemithetho echasene nobufanasini, bekukho nabantu abaninzi abathandayo ngaphandle kokuthintelwa, kwaye uninzi lwefashoni isidanga sobomi bonke obambe izikhundla eziphezulu enkundleni.
Njengoko bekuhlala kunjalo, imbali yamabhinqa amnyama ngeli xesha ayibhalwanga kangako, kodwa sinamanani adumileyo anje U-Anne Lister , i-lesbian yokuqala yanamhlanje, ababukeli baye bayazi ngochungechunge lwe-HBO Umnumzana uJack , kwaye ngoobani ababethandana namanenekazi kwiRegency. Kwaye sinezibini ezifana no-Eleanor Butler kunye noSara Ponsonby, the Amanenekazi eLlangollen , ababehlala kunye kubudlelwane bezothando iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu kwaye babhiyozelwa ziimbongi kunye namagcisa omhla. Baye baxhaswa kwakhona nguKumkanikazi uCharlotte ngokwakhe-kwaye uCharlotte ngumlinganiswa IBridgerton . Ngaba bekunokuba nzima kangakanani ukuba ubuncinci basebenze kwi-winking nod okanye ubhekiso kubukho babasetyhini abaphambili?
Kukho konke ukuphoxeka kwam kwindlela ibali lebali likaBenedict Bridgerton enziwa ngayo ukuba lidlale ngexesha lokuqala, ndiphoxeke nangakumbi kukuba sinikwe abalinganiswa abangafaniyo ngombala kunye nabasetyhini abangafezekanga. Njengokuba kuqhele ukwenzeka njalo, nkqu nesilayidi esingenanto se-LGBTQ + emele siyibone imelwe ngamadoda amhlophe e-cis.
Udade ka-Daphne kunye no-Benedict u-Eloise, ochitha ixesha elininzi lomboniso ekhala ngokucinezelwa kwabasetyhini kwaye ejonge ngokulangazelela umhlobo wakhe uPenelope Featherington, ubonakala ngathi akanamdla wokuthandana nendoda njengoko kunokwenzeka. Ukanti uEloise unencwadi yakhe kaBridgerton, Mhlekazi uPhillip Ngothando (apho ichazwa njenge-spinster), kwaye ithiyori, ukuba uthotho lweTV kufuneka luqhubeke, siza kuba nexesha elinobuhlobo bobufanasini. Incwadi kaBenedict, Isipho esivela kuMnumzana , kubonakala ngathi yiCinderella AU ekufuneka ibonise isiphelo esonwabisayo sikaBenedict kunye nothando lwentombazana yakhe. Ukuba IBridgerton yenza onke amaxesha onyaka asibhozo njengokufuna kwemveliso, nganye nganye ijolise kumntakwenu owahlukileyo, ngaba ngenene siza kuba nezibini ezitshatileyo ezingqalileyo njengezona zijolise kuyo?
Ngokuphandle, bendilindele okungakumbi kumdlalo ozivelelayo njengesikhanyiso, isosi, kunye nemikhwa yokuqhekeka kwiitrophu ezindala ezidiniweyo zomzimba. Incwadi yokuqala yaseBridgerton yapapashwa kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini eyadlulayo, kodwa sikwi-2021 ngoku. Abalinganiswa beQueer, ngaphandle kwenkulungwane abahlala kuyo, kufanelekile ukudlala iindima kwimithombo yeendaba ezithandwayo ngaphaya kwe-sidekick, i-blink-and-you-miss-them, okanye umntu ogwetyelwe ubuni babo. Imbali yayinamabali amnandi ngakumbi ukuba siyixelele, kwaye senza into yokwenyani xa sibeka abantu abasemva ngasemva kwigumbi lokudlala xa ekugqibeleni sinesakhono sokubabonisa ngokupheleleyo.
