Love in the construction of female subjectivities: an analysis based on two female characters in Bridgerton

Abstract

This review focuses on the development of two female characters from the series Bridgerton, one of the most watched in the history of Netflix in recent years, what they can teach us about love and female subjectivities. This feminist analysis of the desires and decisions of Daphne and Eloise Bridgerton allows us to highlight the pillars of romantic love founded precisely in the context of aristocracy, how these are still present today and how we could develop a different notion about love that will be possible only if we manage, from our own personal stories, to question our own subjectivity.
