Yes, there might be dark secrets and vampirism at the Abbey, but not of the kind Mrs. When she is invited by Henry's father under a purposeful misunderstanding to return with them to their home of Northanger Abbey nothing could make Catherine happier than perhaps if Isabella would stop flirting with Henry's older brother while engaged to her own brother James Moreland! Yet Catherine's daydreams of what an Abbey means in Gothic literature might get her into trouble. Her later friendship with Isabella Thorpe and the attentions of Isabella's brother John Thrope can not sway her affections for Henry Tilney. Balls! Gowns! Shopping! Society! And who knows, maybe a dashing stranger would ask her to dance? Henry Tilney is more goofy than dashing, but in one dance he makes a deep impression on Catherine. To that end the Allens, dear family friends, invite her to go to Bath with them. But just because she wasn't destined to be a heroine didn't mean her life would be without adventure. Despite how many horrid Gothic novels she's read none of her daydreams of masked bandits and vampires was ever going to come true. Feild, Bernadette McKenna, William Beck, Shauna Taylor, Sophie Vavasseur, Carey Mulligan, Hugh O'Conor, Mark Dymond, Catherine Walker, and Liam CunninghamĬatherine Moreland didn't have the upbringing or character to be a heroine.
