About Bridget and other important characters

She is 30, she doesn’t have a family and even a boyfriend. She smokes, drinks and eats too much. There are no ambitions, self-confidence and any plans in her life. She is dreamy, spontaneous and unorganized. She is real.

 Her mother always interferes in her life and does everything to made Bridget to live as SHE wants. Does she try to make up leeway in her life? Oh yes. What is the result? She couldn’t change anything in Bridget’s life and decided to change hers – she left her husband, started to work on TV and even found a new boyfriend ( I would say that she is much more successful than our main character). Sure Bridget’s father suffers but how can she help them if she has much more problems
in life and has almost no experience?

 Also Bridget has a lot of friends. All the women read such books as “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” ( I’m not against the book but Helen Fielding expresses her point of view rather forthrightly), don’t give any useful pieces of advice and all in all they are not very clever. What help can it be if one is cheated by her husband, another is an absolute feminist, the relations of the third are absolutely unstable? Her only friend that seems to me pretty is a guy Tom who is a part of LGBT community.

Finally, there are two important men in the book – Daniel, her boss, and Mark Darcy, favorite of Bridge’s mother (familiar surname, isn’t it?).

Daniel Cleaver – HHH – handsome, hot, heinous. Bridget is in love with him but he is too good for her, at least I think so. Will they have any relations? Will she achieve this level?

Mark Darcy. Just recollect his namesake from Pride and Prejudice and you can understand who he is. Arrogant, overweening, clever but nice. Also he hates Daniel and disapproves any relations with him.

What side will be chosen by Bridget? Everyone knows that good girls prefer bad boys but she is too unexpected for such an obvious act.
