'Bridgerton' Season 3: Why this 'feminist' deserves her own spin-off show
LONDON, ENGLAND: Netflix's 'Bridgerton' is a compelling show that takes viewers to an alternate London regency era. It had its debut in December 2020 and the overwhelming response made way for further seasons.
'Bridgerton' revolves around the eight close-knit siblings of the noble and powerful Bridgerton family and in each season, one of the siblings gains the spotlight as they are matched with a suitable partner.
The series has a patriarchal tone throughout the seasons. However, one character that stands out is Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), the fifth Bridgerton child who deserves her own spin-off.
Eloise Bridgerton's feminist approach makes her different from other Bridgertons
There's something different about Eloise from the rest of the characters in 'Bridgerton'. She is a fierce feminist who doesn't go by society's rules. She is the 21st-century woman born in Regency era where the purpose of a woman's life is to get married and have kids.
Surrounded by characters like Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) who spend the majority of their time worrying about finding a suitor, Eloise stands out as a character we can resonate with.
Fans often may not like how she rages against her sisters. However, it is because they go by the patriarchal rules which Eloise doesn't approve of.
She is an outspoken, independent, and spirited young woman. She is passionate and enthusiastic, aiming to change the world. She has the desire to make her own way in the world.
Eloise isn't the ideal woman as per the society's rules. She smokes cigarettes in secret and dreams of attending university.
She has her flaws and she often makes questionable choices. In 'Bridgerton' Season 3: Part 2 trailer, she may seem like a villain in Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope's love story. But we are sure that her heart is in the right place.
She has a lot of learning to do and it would be truly satisfying to watch her character development getting spotlight in a spin-off of her own.
Eloise Bridgerton could be the first gay character in 'Bridgerton's
She could give 'Bridgerton' a whole new direction. There's an online chatter since Season 1 suggesting that Eloise is gay.
While the theory seems dicey as she had her moments of romance with Theo in Season 2, fans are still hoping that she would introduce the LGBTQ+ wave into the Netflix's romance saga.
