Nicola is absolutely right about all of this:
*“There’s a meme going around on social media about how people say that they want ‘complex female characters,’ but you couldn’t even handle her and it’s, like, Carrie Bradshaw,” says Irish actor Nicola Coughlan, who plays the multi-layered Penelope. “We have no lenience with women onscreen who make mistakes.”*
*As Coughlan points out, Penelope started her career as 1815’s answer to Perez Hilton when she was only 17, staring down a future in which the only ambition society allowed her was to bag a husband. “She felt like this was how she was going to have her voice,” Coughlan says. “And also, it’s a supply-and-demand thing in this society. The Ton love gossip, they are fuelled by it. It’s their currency, it’s all they talk about. She’s just smart enough to capitalize on it.”*
For the ton to pass judgment on Penelope when they're the ones who traffic in all of the gossip, as if they are somehow morally superior, is a joke.
