We have no litterature chourse, the closest we have is Swedish, and I think I've got a sound MVG <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />. I feel my teacher is a little too enthusiastic about my development...

Well it's good.

So, they might have emotions, but at least the don't SHOW them.

In real life a lot of people don't show their emotions because they think that it is private.
In a novel the characters can also hide their emotions but reading the novel it is possible to feel that the writer had imagined his characters full of emotions.

I DO think it's a great book in the meaning of showing the French society in the 19th century (that's why I started reading it in the first place) but it's not a very entertaining.

I understand that you think this novel is not entertaining and i understand that you don't enjoy reading it.
But it is a school work. Isn't it ?
During the lessons about the novel, you will learn a lot of things that you missed reading the book.

And if I don't like the novel, that usually meant it's not a good novel, doesn't it?

Übereil

I don't agree.
If you don't like the novel, it's only mean that you don't like the novel ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />
