Perfect Concord

The Derby Telegraph has another article about the young actress that plays young Isabella in Wuthering Heights 2009, Stephanie Duffy:

The 10-year-old actress, from Holbrook, is playing Isabella in Wuthering Heights – the classic love story by Emily Bronte.
Her parents, Clare and David, said they felt" "immensely proud" of their daughter as they watched her filming for the show at a stately home in Yorkshire. (...)
Clare said: "We moved her away from her previous school, where she was being bullied, to Holbrook Primary School for a fresh start, and at the same time she enrolled at the academy. We were delighted when we found out she got the part in Wuthering Heights. It showed how far she has come." (...)
Stephanie said she was not nervous about performing in Wuthering Heights.
"It was exciting and it made me happy," she said. "When I'm older I either want to be a pop star or an actress."

Good advice from the Financial Times's Book Doctor:

Dear Book Doctor,
I always compare myself to other people and think how much thinner, younger or better looking they are than me. How can I stop doing this?

Jane Eyre, by contrast, did muse that she was unworthy of the imposing Mr Rochester – but when she found happiness in the end it was not through matching beauty but matching minds that she achieved “perfect concord”. (Rosie Blau)
