The Readers Review: Literature from 1714 to 1910 discussion

This thread is for the discussion of The Mysteries of Udolpho. Volume Two. There will be threads for each volume 1-4 to cut down on spoilers. Feel free to add discussion questions.

Oh My God! The POETRY! It's pretty thick in this section. I guess Radcliff is trying to show that Emily is sensitive and artistic.

I did not think the poetry added to the story. It was more of an interruption to me. Some editions take out the poetry. In some sections it was too thick.

There was definitely less of it in Volume One. Here it seems like Emily is rhapsodizing every other page.

Just finished Chapter 6. Things have certainly gotten exciting. Her stepdad looks like more and more of a rat as the story progresses.

I knew Montoni was an evil rat. The people that hung around him gave me the shivers. I never figured out the sudden marriage.
