First of all Mary was 15 when she met Percy. Are they going to tell that part, or are they going to cave to the PC police? Secondly are they going to show the part where at 15 she and Percy had sex on her mother's grave? Are they going to tell the truth of Lord Byron's pedophilia?
shareIt's hard to know what exactly went on back in 1816
shareWell there is the nature of Mary's own journals, those of Lord Byron and her husband, Percy Shelley. But I guess that's not "exactly" what went on. I'll learn not to read those from here on end so that I don't give any educated answers to those who haven't read.
To let you know Mary was 15 when she met Percy Shelley. It was proven through her journals they had sex on her mother Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin's grave shortly thereafter. It was well know Lord Byron loved his "hyacinths". Code word for his "boys". In the biography Byron: Child of Passion, Fool of Fame by Benita Eisler who had exclusive access to Byron's papers and those of his friends Polidori and Hobbhouse, it was known when it reached London Byron had succumbed to an illness while in Missolonghi, Greece of Malaria, a group of his friends got together to effectively burn some of Byron's papers. Their content was alluded to by both Polidori and Hobbhouse in their individual autobiographies. The essence is that Byron was a pederast. As for Mary her diaries and journals clearly document her struggles with conceiving children, her frequent stillbirths, Percy's wandering eye and the almost migrant nature of the Shelleys to Percy's death in Italy.
But hey, I guess it's hard to know what went on back then...... Heck must not trust any historian then.
That’s Hollywood, they must invent drama
shareShe was 16-turning-17 when she met Percy and the film indirectly implied they had sex (telling her father they "married") on the gravesite
