Netflix's You is back for its final chapter and the stakes (and body count) have never been higher You follows Penn Badgely's Joe Goldberg, a charming but psychopathic bookstore manager whose obsession with finding love often ends in him Using social media and manipulation, Joe stalks and eliminates anyone he perceives as an obstacle to his relationships starting with aspiring writer Beck in New York Each season saw Joe reinvent himself — moving to Los Angeles and finally back to New York — while leaving a trail of murdered people in his path Badgely and Charlotte Ritchie as Joe's wealthy wife Kate return along with plenty of new and old friends (or sworn enemies) The series has dodged significant controversies over its last four seasons especially with claims that the show romanticises domestic violence and turns a serial killer into a sympathetic figure worth rooting for there was a rather baffling response from some corners of Twitter and TikTok with fan edits and thirsty reactions to the character of Joe The show is well aware of this in the final season — in fact it's created an entire story arc in tribute to how women often fall for a 'nice guy' act despite the red flags After an extremely shaky (and to be honest I can confidently say that the final season is a return to fine form it's full of cutting social commentary… and oddly poignant The new season introduces Bronte (aka Louise) as Joe's next obsession and The Handmaid's Tale actress Madeline Brewer is beyond brilliant in this role she is aware of what Joe has done to the women in his life the violence he has exhibited and the lives he has ruined but also… he's so cute and charming and intelligent This internal struggle within Bronte is at the heart of season five; mirroring how the viewer has fluctuated between disgust and desire in how they view Joe throughout the show's tenure the free-spirited playwright who moves to New York City to pursue her writing ambitions Kate and Joe's marriage is in strife in the final season with several cameos from Elizabeth Lail as Beck in memory montages The season quite masterfully sets out to remind the viewer how Joe was made: he stalked and manipulated Beck but with increasing delusions that he was the upholder of what was morally right But this season brings him back down to earth In a slow crescendo to the final episodes (a build that You does so well) Joe becomes TikTok infamous when he is filmed by some true crime sleuths killing Bronte's supposed ex-boyfriend and the video is uploaded for the masses to dissect which is a hilarious-albeit-depressing parody of the current state of the media effectively capturing the fickle nature of the internet Joe shares a carefully crafted apology with an internet personality who is "barely a journalist notes Pitch Perfect's Anna Camp's character As he offers platitudes about falling in love with Bronte the masses easily fall for his faux-apology Joe is a "white guy with good hair." He is anointed "Joe Smoldenberg" online for his good looks as a smiling Joe with the words "I did it for love!" covers the daily newspaper This show is not subtle and it isn't meant to be Joe becomes a hero for men's rights activists one of whom Joe imprisons in his glass cage after he tries to abduct Bronte This man offers the perfect contrast to Joe as the archetype of a stereotypical misogynist: he calls Bronte a 'bitch' and 'whore' and he rants about his mummy issues He viciously spits out that he doesn't hate women But just because Joe doesn't wear his misogyny like a badge of honour it doesn't mean his intentions are any less sinister — if anything an episode that felt like the finale that most of us expected — as Joe had to confront the women he had victimised while being held in the same glass prison he kept them captive inside Nadia and a very-much-alive Marienne from the confines of his box as he attempted to bargain with the women over his 'good intentions' and saviour complex Blind rage and a group decision to murder him "You are too f**king delusional to own anything you've done," Nadia tells Joe You are a f**king abuser," Marienne finishes him This would have been a satisfying enough conclusion for most fans but You had a delicious twist in store for episode 10 even this was something I didn't see coming The final instalment is set up in the final minutes of the penultimate episode when there's a sudden shift: as Bronte saves Joe from his burning bookstore the viewer is taken inside her inner thoughts as Bronte takes the reins from Joe as narrator Bronte finally realised that Joe isn't her saviour: he's the person she needs to save herself from The final instalment opens with Joe and Bronte on the run 'Bonnie & Clyde' style But the castle this 'white knight' promised to give his princess (yep he actually tried to buy her an Irish castle) turned out to be a creepy cabin in the woods The final episode reveals You for what it really is: this is a horror movie What follows is a thrilling episode that references every horror trope imaginable with clever nods to the classic horror The Shining and to modern masterpiece Fresh This is Joe like you've never seen him before or is this Joe how you didn't want to see him Joe's inner psychopath breaks out into his physical form… and he's terrifying led to this moment where Joe's true nature came shining through After Joe thinks they're sharing a romantic moment on a starlit night Bronte pulls a gun on him before revealing the truth: she was Beck's friend and she demands to know how Joe killed her Joe received a phone call from his son Henry "What did you do to Mummy?" the child asks referring to the woman Joe had bashed over the head mere hours earlier before leaving her to die in a blaze Joe has an emotional breakdown and Penn Badgley needs to be commended for one hell of a powerhouse performance Joe has been activated and Bronte runs through the house and wilderness you didn't know how good you had it," and reveals to her that when he saved her from being abducted it was Joe who broke her ankle so she would need his help Joe just showed his hand: he is the cure but he's also the disease This is a sentiment Bronte repeats to him in their finale scene The fantasy of a man like you is how we cope with the reality of a man like you," she says Joe's story ends with him begging Bronte to kill him as police surround the ill-fated twosome in the dark woods That would be a far more poetic ending than you deserve "You are gonna live the rest of your life alone," she tells him and you are going to have to see yourself." Then she shoots him in the dick and he goes to jail for life An epilogue shows that all the women impacted by Joe had moved on to much happier lives — especially Bronte he'll just be some asshole I dated," she muses the perpetual victim Joe is still monologuing that 'hurt people hurt people' and he shouldn't wear all the blame we are reminded that the world is a sick place (duh!) as Joe palms through fan mail from lustful women from his prison cell it's you," he grins as the screen fades to black Between the layered performances and the thought-provoking themes explored the final season of You more than delivered with some pitch-perfect anthems from the likes of Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan — You knows its audience it's a TV show that was first and foremost for the girlies I got chills when Olivia Rodrigo's 'Vampire' was blaring the moment Bronte realised that Joe is I had heart palpitations when Billie Eilish's revenge anthem 'Happier Than Ever' played just as Bronte was about to enact her plan the series wasn't completely perfect (but very close) as a lot of the endings felt a little too neat Kate surviving and getting custody of Henry when As was her evil corporation somehow being magically absolved of its sins by rebranding as a non-profit Let's not forget the show was initially a Lifetime series before Netflix scooped it up Then there was one storyline that was never tied up: what happened to Ellie It was rumoured that Jenna Ortega might reprise her role which could have come in the form of a TikTok callout about Joe like Love's mother Dottie provided she was fleeing LA after her sister Delilah was imprisoned by Joe and murdered by Love a rather tone-deaf choice to completely erase one of the few women of colour from Joe's past while focusing largely on the first white woman he killed years ago But these are just a few criticisms of a stellar final season of You and a delightfully surprising end to a twisted stalker thriller that doesn't get the credit it deserves TAKE SURVEY ➤ Katy Mullin receives funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council ("Coercive Control: From Literature into Law" Hannah Roche receives funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council ("Coercive Control: From Literature into Law" University of Leeds provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation UK View all partners Emily Brontë placed coercive control at the heart of her celebrated gothic romance But Heathcliff is an abused child who becomes an abuser – and teaches his son to copy In the novel Cathy declares that “My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight but it nonetheless underpins the emotional logic of Brontë’s plot This article is part of Rethinking the Classics The stories in this series offer insightful new ways to think about and interpret classic books and artworks Wuthering Heights is a novel of two halves caught between her tamely domestic husband Edgar Linton and the thrilling wildness of Heathcliff To revenge himself on Cathy for marrying Edgar Heathcliff elopes with Edgar’s infatuated sister Isabella Isabella initially sees Heathcliff as a brooding romantic hero Heathcliff’s abuse of Isabella is sometimes physical to “keep strictly within the limits of the law” to avoid giving Isabella “the slightest right to claim a separation” The law grants him ownership of his wife’s money and property but subtler refinements of abuse include humiliation She’s “wan and listless; her hair uncurled: some locks hanging lankly down” Isabella has already reported that she is forced to sleep in a chair because Heathcliff keeps “the key of our room in his pocket” Heathcliff delights in humbling her before Nelly and his own servants Isabella escapes Heathcliff clad only in “a girlish dress” and “thin slippers” and goes into hiding with her brother’s financial help Heathcliff recovers their son Linton and uses him to engineer a second coercive marriage to his cousin Linton Heathcliff is perhaps the most unappealing character in Victorian fiction lacking altogether the strength and charisma of his father But his puny physicality casts the coercive nature of his abuse into relief Catherine is imprisoned at Wuthering Heights and blackmailed into consenting to marry Linton who becomes the legal owner of all her property conspiring in his father’s surveillance and depriving her of beloved possessions: All her nice books are mine;

Cut through the noise with a carefully curated selection of the latest releases, live events and exhibitions, straight to your inbox every fortnight, on Fridays. Sign up here Mrs Collins’ experience of abuse did not only shape the chilling psychodrama of Wuthering Heights. There are echoes of Patrick’s advice in Emily’s sister Charlotte’s novel Jane Eyre (1847) and her eponymous heroine’s famous declaration of autonomy: “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will Mrs Collins’ strength and resilience also inspires the bravery of Helen Huntingdon in Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) Like Emily’s “eternal rocks,” coercive control lurks beneath the Brontës’ best-loved fictions warning Victorian readers of the terrifyingly real dangers of psychological abuse long before the law caught up As part of the Rethinking the Classics series we’re asking our experts to recommend a book or artwork that tackles similar themes to the canonical work in question but isn’t (yet) considered a classic itself Here is the suggestion from Hannah Roche and Katy Mullin: Like the Brontës’ famous novels, George Gissing’s The Odd Women (1893) shows an acute awareness of the impact of psychological abuse the 21-year-old Monica Madden marries Edmund Widdowson a man 23 years her senior who attempts to police every aspect of her domestic Gissing’s fictional abuser is a classic coercive controller a perpetrator of a crime that did not yet exist and his pattern of behaviour is now so familiar and identifiable that it appears both prescient and predictable Widdowson does not have access to online communication tools or spyware But the many red flags in his treatment of Monica are likely to appear strikingly modern to readers today Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission we are going to cover the WHOLE truth and then judge accordingly I was really hoping that the person from Joe’s past who would get him once and for all would be the balcony sprite herself, Jenna Ortega But she probably got too famous and expensive for that — good for her who is exactly who “Bronte” turns out to be Back when I was power-ranking Pretty Little Liars I was constantly railing against those girls for speaking to the cops without a lawyer Considering how frequently they found themselves entangled in murders it seemed like they (and/or their parents) ought to have been keeping one on retainer watching Bronte explain this semi-self-incriminating situation to a police officer without an attorney in her corner Did anyone else spend the whole episode waiting for that to blow up in her face Extremely funny for me because I finally read Jane Eyre this year for the first time managed to make it this far without knowing what happens in this book from 1847.) The novel’s “romantic” ending has this unbearably boring tragedy-orphan marrying her ancient employer — basically the first man she’s ever met? — who had literally locked his first wife in the attic That Louise was moved deeply by this book — where our male hero is all but she was psycho!” and Jane’s take is (paraphrasing only slightly) we are the most in love two people have ever been and will ever be!!!!!!!” — is perhaps the biggest tell that Louise is going to accidentally fall in love with Joe but if she was going for a believable fake name and this was her source material Louise dropped out of the writing program to go back to Ohio She read Beck’s memoir over and over; she could tell that Beck did not write some of the book she connected with some other true-crime freaks who also had questions about Beck’s murder Bronte joins forces with Dom (the girl from the reading) and Phoenix who’ve both “been wronged by the justice system,” and Clayton Clayton figured out that Joe was seeing Dr. Nicky under an alias, so he knew Beck and Joe were having serious problems. This Scooby Gang solves the mystery: Beck was killed by her boyfriend, Joe! Then Louise’s mom died and so, apparently, did Joe BUT the group saw the article about Joe being alive after all and Clayton wanted to move slowly and stick to the edges of Joe’s life And that’s where we met her: breaking into the bookstore and commencing the most high-stakes catfish of her life but the part where Louise lost me was when she reported on the human aquarium but claimed to find no there there because it was just full of books When will someone from law enforcement go check out the cage? WHY WAS IT NOT SUSPICIOUS TO HER THAT IT LOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE Louise told her friends she could make Joe fall in love with her Clayton helped make the story airtight by “expanding Bronte’s world.” Together Louise trusts the guy who she KNOWS is suspicious as hell and did all these murders It does help that Clayton is a violent guy — Joe’s intervention just proves that Joe “will defend a woman when someone is hurting her” because she has drunk her own broken-bird Kool-Aid After tasing Joe, Louise called Dom in a panic. Fun fact: Dom is the one who had Clayton’s gun. Clayton, in Louise’s incredulous words, “was convinced that Joe is this guy who kills all the women he falls in love with.” Louise, in a grand idiot plot tradition, not only rejects this premise despite staggering evidence but also believes that she alone can fix him horrified that Clayton is willing to risk her life to prove his point she was also willing to risk her life to prove her point Breaking into the bookstore and dating Joe was your idea Clayton showed up unannounced — he accused Louise of being “a fucking Manson girl” and latching on “like a goddamn tourist” — and Joe did the rest Louise tells the cop that this means Joe was acting in self-defense where he ruminates on how everything he shared with Bronte was a sham and then released from said police station I genuinely don’t know why Kate didn’t just let him stay in prison and he went out and murdered someone on live — take the win Joe decides that Bronte is a “snake,” which does not really portend well for her survival Joe gets home so he and Kate can have a screaming match It is very satisfying to hear her scream him out for being “obvious and pathetic” and for killing her sister Joe’s defense that Reagan was evil and that she thinks clearly enough to surround herself with security and remove Henry to a safe location that Joe doesn’t know about and taking him from them was one of the worst things I have ever helped you do.” YES The papers Joe signed at the police station had a temporary custody agreement — Kate assumed Joe would be too caught up in his own deal even to read the pages — which means he has already declared himself unfit to parent She also tells him off for only seeing their son as an extension of himself; Joe has never cared about another person Kate reminds Joe that all their power and money is hers and he can only access those resources if he obeys her where he uncovers a camera hidden in a book — a camera connected to Louise/Bronte’s phone By submitting your email,

settle down at the end of the last season then realised she was duping him and was part of a Reddit community that wanted to take him down and proposed to her with Mooney's burning down just beside them We knew it was going to be a wild ride of a finale but nothing could've quite prepared us for the heart-racing battle to the death that ensued between Bronte and Joe as Bronte continued to wrestle with her true feelings and prospective future with a serial killer But who succeeded in this game of cat and mouse between Bronte and Joe Read on for a full breakdown of the fates of each character in the final-ever episode of Netflix's You including some exclusive reflections on the finale from actress Charlotte Ritchie herself Joe Goldberg is ultimately incarcerated for his crimes After Maddie (Anna Camp) burns down Mooney's with her own sister Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) and Joe inside but as she was seemingly dead and with Joe still alive The finale starts with the pair on a road trip just outside New York driving round to find somewhere to rest up for the night before they make their way to the Canadian border with new passports that have been pre-arranged by Joe Bronte isn't blinded by her love for Joe any longer after her heartfelt conversation with Marienne She's intent on making sure the world learns the truth about Joe and plays nice resisting the urge to speak to a police officer when they stop for petrol and concealing a gun of her own They end up at a holiday rental that Joe breaks into (he has no money spending the evening eating and going out on the boat for a ride around the lake They end up in the bedroom just about to have sex when Bronte gets out the gun she's concealed under one of the pillows and aims it at Joe's head demanding to know the truth about how he killed Guinevere Beck Bronte orders Joe to redact all his own words from Beck's book tearfully talking about how Joe has managed to erase parts of herself while they've been together They're interrupted by a call from Joe's dodgy friend who informs him that Henry's online playing his game and can be patched through to Joe Henry is at home with his uncle Teddy (Griffin Matthews) who is seen solemnly talking to the police Henry quizzes Joe about what he's done to his mother Henry tells Joe that despite Joe telling him there weren't any monsters in his room who completely loses it at Bronte and starts to question how he has become the person he is Bronte is tired of Joe trying to play the victim and says she should call the police but Joe says there's little point as he always manages to get off scot-free with Bronte eventually managing to break free and run into the surrounding woods She returns to the house to call the police and manages to finally get through once she's had to jump from the bedroom window to hide from Joe again The phone is connected as Joe admits to breaking Bronte's ankle himself to keep her around so they can talk He calls her ungrateful and spiteful as he follows her into the lake strangling her seemingly to death in the water Joe goes running into the woods and ambushes a police officer who the camera pans to for a second time as it's revealed his gun is missing Bronte is actually alive and has taken the officer's gun for herself who eventually begs her to kill him as the police start to circle the area Joe runs at Bronte but she shoots him in the penis he drops to his feet and the cops come to take Joe away After narrowly escaping Joe's deadly clutches and making it out alive from her tense stand-off with him Bronte is the one narrating the final part of the episode she reworked Beck's manuscript and took out Joe's additions after demanding he redact himself A newly released version of Beck's book is released in stores who wishes she were there in person to see it She admits that her life will not be seen as before and after Joe admitting that the memory of him shrinks with each passing day She doesn't know what she wants to do or who she wants to be just yet As we learn in the episode's closing moments Kate survived the fire at Mooney's after all she wears them proudly as she embarks on a new chapter in her life with Henry and continues to spend plenty of time with her brother Teddy who has made Lockwood Corporation a 100 per cent nonprofit after taking over as CEO Kate returns to her first love of art and continues to champion Marienne as an artist who can now live in the public limelight after Joe is put behind bars but Maddie is now living happily as herself with Harrison whose charges for Reagan's murder were dropped Although Maddie was tried for arson and her sister's murder she didn't have to serve time due to the circumstances We see her enjoying time in the park with Harrison and Gretchen Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com about Kate's fate in the You finale There were so many moments in the make-up room where I remember catching eyes with Penn and he was definitely talking about Kate and he was like 'So are you sad that Kate...?' And I was like I don't know anything.' So there was this real tension.\" She continued: \"There were a lot of rumours going around that he died They were really good at keeping it under wraps I wonder if they were sort of still deciding towards the end.. It's as close as satisfying as you could get I reckon seeing him having to face himself the possibility that he could is quite exciting Marienne can live a successful life as an artist Having been plagued by Joe's existence for the last three seasons Marienne is finally freed of him thanks to her alliance with the other women he has harmed Marienne pursues her art and is even helped by Kate who continues to raise Henry away from his father Having been freed from prison with the help of Kate and with Joe now in prison himself Nadia returns to writing and seems happier than ever She is seen returning to her prison to teach classes to women and uses her gifts to help others process their trauma We then flash forward to a courthouse where Joe is being led from a courtroom to awaiting press and paparazzi clearly numb to the fact that he has now finally been caught for his crimes Bronte's narration reveals that Joe's trial was messy and the truth of his true nature was undeniable Joe was also immortalised on the internet as a meme Joe was convicted of the murders of Love Quinn and Guinevere Beck which then led to a flurry of allegations coming his way ensuring that Joe will never be free again We learn that Joe has also been convicted for the murders of season 1's Benji Ashby (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Peach Salinger (Shay Mitchell) Dr Nicky's conviction for Beck's murder was also vacated with Dominique (Natasha Behnam) and Phoenix (b) telling a podcast that they're far from done with their internet sleuthing as there continue to be many more Joe's out in the world Co-showrunner Michael Foley recently told Netflix's Tudum that everyone involved in the series agreed \"death would be too easy\" for Joe “I always thought somebody killing Joe wouldn’t be justice Anybody who kills him would be brought down to his level Meanwhile, speaking about how she thinks fans will react to the ending, Charlotte Ritchie previously told RadioTimes.com: \"I think there'll be a mixed reaction \"I think this is such a larger than life character that finding an ending that satisfies everybody based on all of the various feelings they have about him but I think it's a nice nod to the kind of relationship we have with him which I think is quite fun and quite kind of inclusive In addition, he told the New York Post in a recent interview that season 5 had an alternative ending where Joe realised he was actually dead and is a ghost \"We liked putting him in a veritable cage [in prison] We liked him not knowing the touch of a lover,\" Foley told the publication adding that \"it was late in the season\" when the writers had \"finally locked that down\" there was a shared belief among the writers and the creators that Joe wouldn't get away with his crimes,\" he added \"We came into the season knowing that we didn’t want to redeem him that he was going to face some of those whose lives he ruined we knew he was going to be made to face himself.\" The final scene of the series is of Joe in his prison cell denoting he has been imprisoned for the most violent crimes He finishes reading The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer likely hinting at Joe's thoughts of the future despite New York having abolished the death penalty Joe's narration remarks on the loneliness of the time ahead and whether all the blame can be pinned on him if he's simply a product of his environment who is explicit in the kinds of sexual fantasies she wants to enact with Joe Joe asks whether it's fair that he's caged while people like this continue to roam free asking finally if the problem of this all is actually not him On that final moment of Joe reading his fan mail Charlotte Ritchie told RadioTimes.com: \"I don't know about the psychology of that There's something about the distance that matters \"It's the same with the intrigue in the show It's not someone there in your living room or at your school or whatever People are into stuff that you can't explain.\" speaking to Tudum about that final monologue Foley explained it was a final \"deflection\" highlighting that Joe \"has not changed\" “I can see the whole arc of the series and I’m like I’m glad I got to do that,’” Badgley added “But there’s no amount of enjoyment or gratitude that can eclipse the brutal reality of what a man like Joe Goldberg is it just feels like a really good way to end it.” Elsewhere, Badgley was even more scathing about Joe's much-deserved fate Speaking to Deadline the actor said: \"If somebody was to kill him – and it would be a woman right – well then actually now what you’ve burdened her with is having committed murder You season 5 ending explained: Who lives who dies and Joe Goldberg's fateMajor spoilers below Netflix's You has finally come to a dramatic

The move to maim his member also places Joe within the long tradition of castration as the worst possible thing you could do to a dude onscreen Think back to Theon Greyjoy’s neutering on Game of Thrones which plays out as the central pillar of his torturer’s campaign to annihilate the character’s sense of self or the famously thorny scene in Pulp Fiction where Marsellus Wallace exacts revenge on his rapist by firing a shotgun at the guy’s genitals Castration recurs in pop culture as comeuppance for men who inflict or threaten violence on women: Recall Robocop blasting the family jewels off a nameless criminal attempting to sexually assault a woman on the street or the sequence in Hard Candy where 14-year-old Hayley convinces the pedophile she’s torturing that she’s surgically removing his testicles castration doesn’t quite feel satisfying as a proportional symbolic response to Joe’s tenure of terror Shooting his dick off is a great punchline What made Joe so distinctive as the show’s central figure isn’t just that he’s a serial killer It’s that he constructs fantasies and narratives about himself to justify his actions and kills countless others in the service of love reframing his use of violence within an internal logic of self-defense or an expression of trauma-induced mental sickness Joe’s internal narrative takes on a valence of self-determination: His violent urges are immutable parts of himself so leaning into them amounts to a form of radical self-acceptance and unleashing them against people who “deserve it” (abusive boyfriends smarmy therapists) is analogous to a harm-reduction technique When it comes to the lovers he’s destroyed (Though Marienne didn’t actually die at the end of the fourth season you figure he’d chalk up her apparent overdose as an accident Whoopsie.) The beating heart of his monstrosity isn’t his sexual cravings but his sense of romanticism and righteousness the things that make Joe so compelling as a metaphor for very real men Dickless Joe would’ve been a satisfying payoff if You was just contained to its first season There’s a magic trick to building a story around the villain it really should be doled out expeditiously; otherwise the narrative loses its moral authority of fundamental opposition to its central character and the task of producing a proportionally satisfying comeuppance grew more complicated with each Joe getaway There’s also the fact that the series is so darn entertaining an outcome predicated on eliciting an affinity for Joe by virtue of his positioning as the story’s main point of view his (perfectly reasonable!) class critiques as he infiltrates various glamorous worlds and the procession of idiots who parade into his life as plot hurdles to navigate (or kill) It’s slippery to make a villain both your protagonist and your target of deconstruction the harder it becomes for it to also challenge the mythologies protecting dangerous men like him It also gets more difficult to point the finger at society for creating conditions that enable behavior like this when that really means you’re pointing the finger at viewers for wanting to root for someone like Joe You can’t reap the rewards of successfully making him a protagonist while angsting against the audience feedback loop producing those rewards If you boil down Joe’s romantic fantasies as a mere cover for what he always was — a predator acting on violent sexual urges — you could argue that castration serves as a fitting symbol for his atrocities You needed to spend a lot more time unpacking Joe’s downfall which is ultimately compressed into a ten-minute-ish coda slapped on the very end of the series finale If the fundamental project was to deconstruct Joe’s self-mythologizing there should’ve been a whole episode forcing him to confront his own monstrosity (I guess I’m saying You’s series finale should’ve taken a thing or two from Seinfeld’s.) The more You fleshed Joe out as a character the bigger the distance grew between him and what he symbolizes: the threat of how any decent-seeming man could a monster who believes himself to be the hero of his own romantic story with such ferocity that he’s able to convince others to join him in his fantasy “What is wrong with me that I know who you are and part of me can still feel this good?” Bronte wonders in the finale “But who doesn’t love to be loved?” Of course or the fault of any of the other women who fell victim to his carnage the fantasy of men like him is how women deal with the reality of men like him — a fantasy he’s all too eager to speak into being Brewer is a new addition to the main cast of You for its fifth and final season Returning for its fifth and final outing, You returns with Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg at its helm – but this time around As is often the case, Joe fixates on one woman each season of the Netflix series and despite being married to Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) he can't quite help himself when he crosses paths with playwright Bronte The new character was announced back in 2024 as production on the final instalment got under way, with teasers and trailers hinting at the sparks set to fly between Joe and this enigmatic addition Known for her roles in The Handmaid's Tale Madeline Brewer embodies the role as Bronte and is a self-professed \"huge fan\" of the series herself saying that joining You \"has been wonderful Madeline Brewer is an American actress, best known for her roles as Janine Lindo in The Handmaid's Tale and as Tricia Miller in Orange Is the New Black Brewer made her TV debut in Orange Is the New Black back in 2013 and has since had a variety of roles now joining the main cast of You for its fifth and final season as Bronte a mysterious addition who starts hanging around Joe's bookshop Mooney's Aside from her role in Orange Is the New Black, Brewer is best known for her main role in The Handmaid's Tale as Janine, a role which she continues to hold in the present sixth season and has been in since the show's premiere back in 2017 Brewer has received an Emmy nomination for Supporting Actress You may also recognise Brewer from horror TV series Hemlock Grove, Black Mirror's Men Against Fire episode or Shining Girls Brewer revealed of her bookworm character: \"She likes romance novels As to why she thinks Bronte is drawn to Joe Brewer said: \"Bronte is drawn to Joe because She sees someone who may have struggled and is trying to reinvent themselves \"They love the same things — they're both avid readers and she finds that captivating and wants to know more.\" Not only does Brewer's character have her own secrets to hide but she also has to reconcile her feelings for Joe Brewer said: \"Bronte really does have feelings for Joe 'I'm not supposed to feel this way about you.' \"She doesn't want to give up working at Mooney's or being around Joe Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet for You season 5 Brewer also teased that her character is an \"enigma\" Yes, you can find her at the handle @madbrew Meet the You star playing BronteBrewer is a new addition to the main cast of You for its fifth and final season As is often the case, Joe fixates on one woman each season of the Netflix series and he can't quite help himself when he crosses paths with playwright Bronte The new character was announced back in 2024 as production on the final instalment got under way, with teasers and trailers hinting at the sparks set to fly between Joe and this enigmatic addition Known for her roles in The Handmaid's Tale Madeline Brewer embodies the role as Bronte and is a self-professed "huge fan" of the series herself saying that joining You "has been wonderful Madeline Brewer as Bronte in You. Clifton Prescod/NetflixMadeline Brewer is an American actress, best known for her roles as Janine Lindo in The Handmaid's Tale and as Tricia Miller in Orange Is the New Black a mysterious addition who starts hanging around Joe's bookshop Mooney's You may also recognise Brewer from horror TV series Hemlock Grove, Black Mirror's Men Against Fire episode or Shining Girls Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg in You season 5 Clifton Prescod/NetflixSpeaking about her role in season 5 Brewer revealed of her bookworm character: "She likes romance novels Brewer said: "Bronte is drawn to Joe because "They love the same things — they're both avid readers and she finds that captivating and wants to know more."

of her friend Louise read her posthumously published book, The Dark Face of Love and found inconsistencies that didn’t sit right with her Her suspicions led her to a Reddit thread dedicated to uncovering the truth about Beck’s death who also believes the real killer was never caught she began to lose sight of her original mission to take him down blurring the line between revenge and a romantic connection When Joe rushes in to protect Bronte from a furious Clayton (Tom Francis) “We got him!” Bronte’s friends shout as they live-stream Joe But Bronte becomes just another pawn in Joe’s twisted game of love While speaking to the police after Clayton’s death she convinces herself that Joe acted in self-defense and that he truly believed her life was at risk Bronte is drawn to the idea

temporary hideout She knows she can’t keep up the act much longer “We hear her thoughts, which is different from when we’ve heard thoughts from other characters in past seasons,” Badgley told Netflix’s Tudum “The vantage point is shifting to Bronte and [Joe]’s becoming the object She demands he tell her exactly how he killed Beck she hands him a copy of The Dark Face of Love and tells him to go through and redact the lies he added to Beck’s manuscript after murdering her He says he managed to get Henry on the line He then proceeds to tell his dad that he’s the monster and the two

When I began following in the footsteps of Charlotte I had no inkling that it would lead to a historic discovery My resulting conversation with the Dean of Westminster led to the correction of an 85-year-old spelling mistake now with the correct spelling of the Brontë sisters' surname when I wanted to see the memorial to the authors of masterpieces such as Jane Eyre Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall I was researching a new book with my co-author Ann Dinsdale principal curator at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth I am also a lifelong journalist and now editor of The Brontë Society Gazette I crossed the ancient flagstones where Emily and Charlotte walked with their father The sisters were enjoying a little sightseeing on their way to Brussels where they hoped to improve their French in an ultimately doomed plan to open a school in Yorkshire Anne Brontë was also enduring a grueling life as a governess near York As the anonymous daughters of a country curate the fire of their imaginations was yet to set the literary world alight I looked for the elegant little tablet paid for by the Brontë Society and installed in October 1939 That’s when I saw that all three sisters were called ‘Bronte,’ not ‘Brontë.’ The names of the famous writers were misspelled A place of pilgrimage for literature lovers and home to memorials to more than a hundred of our greatest writers I made an appointment with Dr Tony Trowles Librarian and Head of the Abbey Collection Mr Hopewell set out the wording for the Brontë inscription with each surname bearing its diaeresis (dots) over the final letter.  What had happened to the spelling between this letter in May 1939 and the installation of the tablet Further investigation showed Sir Charles Peers using either ‘Bronte’ or ‘Bronté’ in their correspondence Minutes of an earlier Chapter meeting in April 1938 regarding the memorial also say ‘Bronte.’  I brought the mystery to Dr Trowles’ attention and he could find no further clues in the case of the missing dots he agreed the sisters should have their correct names on their memorial and offered to broach the subject with the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle before I made a request for the error to be rectified When I wrote to the Dean the following day I was delighted to receive an equally immediate and sympathetic response He took the matter to the Westminster Abbey Fabric Commission and contacted me in March to say the work to add the diaereses had been given the go ahead I duly shared the good news in my editor’s letter to Brontë Society members in the Gazette.  Abbey stonemason Mark Croll adds the missing diaereses So why was ‘Brontë’ incorrectly carved three times in 1939 The sisters’ signatures are preserved on their letters little books and diary papers in the Brontë Collection The name has adorned countless copies of their novels and poetry published from after their deaths to the present day It is among the most famous and enduring in literature The Times used the correct spelling when thundering its approval of the memorial in 1939 Yet somewhere along the line the people making the tablet lost sight of the brief.  The name began evolving from ‘Brunty’ or ‘Prunty’ when Patrick arrived at St John’s College His gentrification of his name could have been inspired by Horatio Nelson he took a shine to the Greek word for ‘thunder.’ It may have gained its final iteration with the diaeresis when Patrick’s poems were published before his children were born I’m not worried about the name of the father and grandfather of Charlotte This is not about the men – it’s about the women Abbey Conservator Lucy Ackland puts the final touches to the updated memorial we don’t know how the diaereses disappeared during their journey from Mr Hopewell’s pen to the discussions of Sir Charles and Mr Turner Who was carelessly rewriting history in 1939 I was met with only courtesy and co-operation from Dr Trowles and the Dean in the here and now This was a Brontë story with a happy and timely ending in 2024.  Britain had just gone to war with Nazi Germany As the Abbey authorities scrambled to evacuate its treasures spelling mistakes were the least of anyone’s worries But why was it never highlighted until I happened along I’ve looked for evidence of anyone else pointing out the obvious in peacetime and cannot find a scrap I can only reflect on the eventual ceremony for the memorial in 1947 Were Brontë Society members in their best hats and suits too overawed to mention it Author Sharon Wright beside the memorial in Poets' Corner I love a mystery from history and maybe one day I’ll solve it it’s enough to see the Brontë Society instructions followed and to have played a part in honouring the names of the fellow Yorkshirewomen I admire beyond measure.  once described the sombre sound that punctuated their lives She wrote: ‘… as you issued from the Parsonage gate you looked upon the Stone-cutter’s

of Sydney provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU Ask someone when they first read Jane Eyre and they will no doubt remember: the voice of its protagonist leaps off the page as if to grab you by the forearm and fiercely protective of her claim to happiness Jane possesses a strength of character that utterly belies the plainness and penury of her beginnings are likely to associate it with popular representations of governesses and madwomen which Jane Eyre helped enshrine as icons of the Victorian era Narrated from the first-person point of view Charlotte Brontë’s masterpiece is a landmark in the novel of interiority and the representation of religion and race “An Autobiography,” and the events of the novel – at once domestic and strange familiar and fantastical – are deeply shaped by the experiences of its author Born in Yorkshire to a prickly curate father Charlotte Brontë was surrounded by death as a child followed by two older sisters when a typhoid outbreak swept through their boarding school Charlotte remained at home with her other siblings – Anne and Emily they lost themselves in the creation of a fictional world called “Glass Town,” which they catalogued meticulously in tiny paper booklets After failing disastrously as a schoolteacher and governess (which Charlotte relates in trenchant letters to family and friends) she and her sisters sought to make a career out of their childhood passion three undeniable classics in what one critic has dubbed a second “Northumbrian Renaissance.” The early chapters of Charlotte’s novel take us deep into the mind of Jane Eyre an orphan who has been reluctantly accepted into the household of a wealthy aunt abused by her cousins and constantly reminded her existence is an unwanted burden The family nicknames her “Madame Mope,” but Jane is anything but sullen she harbours within her the spirit of a “rebel slave,” desperately seeking love but unwilling to abase herself in pursuit of her aunt’s (or indeed anyone’s) approval When Jane is wrongfully accused of attacking her vicious cousin she is locked in the “red-room,” the bedchamber of her dead uncle and the room becomes a potent allegory for the psychological misery inflicted upon children Hope seems to arrive in the prospect of a charity school for orphans but Jane’s restless spirit stands poised to chafe against its gospel of Christian meekness the director recounts for Jane’s edification the example of who knows six Psalms by heart: and when you ask him which he would rather have or a verse of a Psalm to learn he says: ‘Oh The verse of a Psalm!’[… and] gets two nuts in recompense for his infant piety Unimpressed by the child’s craven obeisance are drawn from Charlotte’s own knowledge of the boarding school that killed her sisters The children are half-starved and beaten while their zealous benefactor espouses the virtues of poverty Jane’s only solace is a kindly teacher and the ethereal student Helen Burns who possesses Christ-like powers of submission The death of Helen from typhus points to the impossibility of moral perfection in a bleak and fallen world she quickly sees that her own path will involve a different kind of suffering and resistance Jane is often described as “plucky” or “spunky,” a quality best revealed by her energetic self-reliance she spends the next eight years at Lowood educating herself so she can seek out better opportunities elsewhere she gets hired to be governess at Thornfield Hall a large estate with a mysterious proprietor the tone shifts from social criticism to gothic romance as Jane falls deeply in love with the owner of the estate The unconventional courtship between the star-crossed (and class-crossed) lovers is one of the novel’s chief delights a dissipated aristocrat who becomes captivated by Jane’s frankness and inner strength Jane sees glimmers of a finer nature beneath Rochester’s brutish façade but resists the temptation to become his plaything or ornament In a daring renovation of the courtship plot Brontë depicts Rochester as the needier and more flirtatious of the two he is not above pretending to be engaged to another woman or dressing as a female gypsy to ascertain the true nature of her feelings refuses to sacrifice her personal dignity at the altar of romantic love When Rochester asks her to remain his ward’s governess after he marries his supposed fiancée and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips and my drop of living water dashed from my cup In a move that scandalised some of Brontë’s critics Rochester responds warmly to Jane’s principled self-defense and immediately proposes marriage “My bride is here […] because my equal is here.” Most people are familiar with the phrase “the madwoman in the attic,” but few know it comes not from the novel but from a pioneering work of feminist criticism inspired by Brontë’s example In The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination (1979) Gilbert and Susan Gubar placed the incredible plot twist at the heart of Jane Eyre – that Rochester is secretly married to a mixed-race madwoman from the West Indies who is confined to the third floor of his house – at the heart of a new symbology of writing by women “By projecting their rebellious impulses not into their heroines but into mad or monstrous women (who are suitably punished in the course of the novel or poem),” they write “female authors dramatize their own self-division their desire both to accept the strictures of patriarchal society and to reject them.” thus becomes a monstrous double of Jane – a transgressive woman of violent temper who demonstrates what happens when women are oppressed by unequal marriages or violate social norms The invention of Bertha is a brilliantly lurid device to keep Rochester and Jane apart But it has not always sat well with readers Brontë further develops the colonial contexts of Jane Eyre in the novel’s final section, when, after the collapse of her engagement to Rochester, Jane takes up residence with an earnest missionary and his sisters. Here, Jane finally finds herself in a community of equals, except it lacks the romantic dimension of her relationship with Rochester. When the missionary, St. John Rivers, proposes marriage to Jane, it is because he judges her to be the perfect help-meet for his religious labours in India, not because he desires her erotically. Where Rochester was excessively sensual (we are made aware that he married Bertha for sex as well as money), St. John is coldly ambitious — not a bad man, per se, but one who sees his spiritual destiny as incompatible with the life of the heart. Through the colonial activities of both men, Brontë associates the wider British empire with masculine egoism and derogation from equality between the sexes. Such a place, she suggests, is likely to produce “revolted slaves” not unlike her heroine Jane. The most famous line of Jane Eyre – “Reader, I married him” – encapsulates how this sometimes dispiriting novel moves inexorably toward maturity and fulfilment. While still considering St. John’s proposal, Jane hears Rochester’s voice beckoning to her through the ether – a moment of occult indulgence that recalls the more mythopoetic style of Charlotte’s sister, Emily. Fortunately, the voice inspires Jane to return to Thornfield, where she finds that Bertha has burned the house to the ground, killing herself in the process, and leaving Rochester blinded and maimed. A sombre mood prevails as the two lovers reacquaint themselves, but Jane resumes her teasing manner when she realises that Rochester has become insecure toward her because of his disabilities, not because his passion has cooled. In contrast to her scepticism about St. John’s mission, Jane delights in the possibility of serving as Rochester’s caretaker and nurse because she is motivated by love rather than duty. In a culture where most people, but women especially, were encouraged to sublimate their desires to the goals of more powerful men, Jane Eyre offers a radical solution. By marrying a man who has become her physical and financial dependent – but who remains an equal romantic partner – Jane can enjoy both power and femininity, which for many Victorians was an improbable combination. I hold myself supremely blest – blest beyond what language can express; because I am my husband’s life as fully as he is mine. Her confident assertion of dignity, of integrity, and of moral and social equality is as relevant to our own time as it was to hers.

But while he was a stereotypical Italian mobster “You” stood out thanks to its unique narrative style a deeply disturbed man who justifies murder in the name of love he falls for aspiring writer Guinevere Beck Each season follows a similar pattern: obsession But the fifth and final season may be the most gripping becomes infatuated with Bronte (an excellent Emily Brewer) whom he hires at Mooney’s bookstore — the same bookstore where he once tortured people in a glass cage the show grapples with themes like toxic masculinity and how easily people overlook red flags when charisma is involved Though it doesn’t reference real-life cases directly the final season’s portrayal of media frenzy around killers echoes headlines like that of Luigi Mangione who was indicted for the murder of health CEO Brian Thompson The series critiques how easily the media flips between villainizing and romanticizing murderers Even as he cheats on his wife and leaves a trail of bodies he’s a smooth talker who keeps the audience uncomfortably intrigued Some viewers may question the decision to portray a Jewish character as a cunning serial killer Joe isn’t physically imposing but uses charm and social media to control others and conceal his violence the trope of a Jewish puppet master pulling strings might hit too close to antisemitic conspiracy theories The series is based on novels by Caroline Kepnes who has spoken about writing the first book while grieving her Jewish father’s death Joe’s manipulation through social platforms became a twisted reflection of that grief a Gen Z Jewish fan told me Joe’s Judaism didn’t bother her — he wasn’t defined by it the series rarely foregrounds Joe’s Jewish identity A previous season included a Jewish camp reference but Judaism is never portrayed as a catalyst for his actions It’s also worth noting that Jewish characters on screen aren’t monolithic. In Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This,” Adam Brody plays a hot Jewish rabbi — the moral inverse of Joe Writers and creators have the right to explore a wide range of characters even when they’re dark and not the best representation Season 5’s acting is arguably the show’s strongest Charlotte Ritchie returns as Joe’s wife Kate while Maddie is warm and playful  — calling Joe “boo” and cracking his emotional armor helps make the finale its most compelling chapter Most viewers assumed Joe would finally be killed The final episodes smartly explore how society sometimes glamorizes predators and what it takes for their masks to fall Joe’s anonymity is eventually shattered by bloggers — one of the series’ most satisfying twists But a small portion of the ending felt off it leaned into symbolism that some might find problematic or too forgiving many killers aren’t as smart as Joe—and some still get away with it “You” leaves us with a chilling takeaway: persistence can be romantic Jerusalem’s hidden scrolls: The earliest evidence of the Hebrew bible Everything you thought about the Messiah is wrong What is Yom Ha’atzmaut?

smile going around at last Friday night’s (April 4) Hobart meeting after a much anticipated and emotional return to the winner’s circle drove Will He Pike (Heston Blue Chip) to a popular win in the Ladbrokes Racing Club Pace – her first victory for two years and three months and the 67th of her career but I was so relieved and absolutely over the moon,” Miller said “I suppose I proved to myself and everyone else that I can still do it.” Miller was one of the passengers involved in a horrifying road accident on January 30 when a vehicle towing a loaded four-horse float crashed at Rowella The State’s leading female driver in the 2022 season spent two-and-a-half weeks in hospital with injuries including a broken left hip a dislocated right hip and a broken her right foot and hand Miller was fortunate to retain 100 percent vision in her left eye Miller underwent a number of operations and long stints of rehabilitation including SA reinswoman Dani Hill and Victorian legend the late Ian McCallum who succeeded despite having sight in just one eye “I obviously had no choice because I was never not going to return to being out on the track!” she said “Wanting to get back out there pushed me through all my stints of rehabilitation and my judgement of range is really good.” Miller’s comeback in mid-February was hindered when she broke her ankle and her win was at her first drive back after that setback But Miller said she had her doubts after coming out of the gate hard and getting caught in the death seat on Will He Pike “I thought ‘this isn’t going to be good’ But later when the leader was being driven up heading for home but he’s a lovely fella and I’ve always had a soft spot for him,” she said “He’s trained by Tammy Langley who’s given me plenty of opportunities which I’m so grateful for “I must also say a big thanks to Bianca Heenan and her partner Nathan Ford who are the owners of Will He Pike who have been there for me since day dot I’m basically a part of their family – I often joke that I’m their adopted child.” her previous was on Dapper (Rocknroll Hanover) at Hobart on the night before the motor vehicle accident From Terry Gange for Harnesslink

Insights for the latest news Paramount Australia and New Zealand acknowledges and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first peoples of the lands where we live and honours their continuing connection and care for Country and storytelling While the vast majority of Australian buyers aren’t international swimming champions, the need for proximity to local amenities is something many can relate to. The Coorparoo Queenslander-style home she settled in – which is now for sale – offers privacy and peace without sacrificing convenience. Located a 20-minute drive from the Brisbane CBD, the house is the epitome of relaxed and elegant living. The covered front and back verandahs are set among trees, with city glimpses. And, in the safety of this quiet cul-de-sac, kids can run and play with reckless abandon. “I grew up on a road that was a cul-de-sac, so it reminded me of that.” Campbell says, when asked what first drew her to the home. Coorparoo has become a sought-after location in recent years for its connection to nearby parklands, public transport, shopping, dining and schools. Listing agent Paula Pearce of Place Estate Agents Brisbane says prestigious schools have attracted more families to the area. In addition, an increasing number of buyers are prioritising lifestyle, moving away from larger cities in other parts of the country. “Buyers are looking for walkability and connectedness to infrastructure,” she says. “Schools in the area, secondary schools in particular, have continued to grow in popularity, so we’re seeing more young families looking to buy here.” Rugby league champion Luke Lewis puts oceanfront Cronulla haven on the market Adelaide Crows great Shaun Rehn’s renovated Byron hinterland home for sale InStyle Australia editor-in-chief, Justine Cullen, lists Palm Beach property for sale With its white picket fences, VJ dado panelling and French doors, the home is move-in ready. The calming, neutral colour palette throughout is a blank slate for a range of design preferences. “It’s a Queenslander replica,” Pearce says. “This means you get the charm and style of a Queenslander without the added maintenance.” The house has a bright and airy feel, with a spacious layout and a kitchen and dining area extending onto a patio and large garden – perfect for hosting guests. Campbell says she has loved entertaining on the outdoor deck, having dinner parties with friends and fellow athletes. “I remember inviting mates around [after settlement], sitting on milk crates and celebrating with drinks,” she says. “At that stage, you’ve got no furniture but that’s part of the experience.” The property has a generous four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Even living with three friends at one point, Campbell says that “somehow it never felt crowded”. “I had a friend who worked in finance living downstairs for a while,” she says. “It’s a separate and self-contained living space, which worked well since we were on completely different schedules. They sometimes worked late into the evening, then I’d be getting up at 4am for training.” It’s this versatility that makes the property a stand-out option in the market. If an owner-occupier moves in, the downstairs area — with kitchenette and bathroom — could offer independent living for a teenager, a young adult, elderly family members, or even a tenant. For investors, there’s the opportunity for a source of rental income. The listing has a notable inclusion for those with an interest in sports: a signed team shirt from the Paris 2020 Olympics that Campbell plans to leave behind, as well as ample outdoor space for wellness activities. “We added artificial grass in the back garden and it became my favourite place to do stretching and yoga,” she says. “It was much better doing recovery on grass, not hard bricks.” Change is in the air for the swimmer, who is moving to Sydney. Earlier this year she got engaged to her partner, musician Benfield Lainchbury, and her business, Earthletica, has taken off. “It’s bittersweet to be leaving my footholds in Brisbane, but it’s always a base to come back to with friends and family still here,” Campbell says. “I’ll always be a Queenslander because that’s where I grew up.” The information on this website is intended to be of a general nature only and doesn't consider your objectives, financial situation or needs. where we are privileged to live and operate Olympic gold medallist Bronte Campbell has listed her Coorparoo home for sale with agents asking for offers in the high $1ms Househunters inspecting a worker’s cottage were in for a shock with Olympic gold medallist Bronte Campbell greeting them at the door – and she has another surprise waiting in the wings double garage home in Brisbane’s Coorparoo for sale by private treaty with her real estate agents Shannon Gordon and Mikaela Crone of Place Bulimba looking for offers in the high $1ms Bronte Campbell decided to add a personal touch to the sale of her beloved Coorapoo house Shock forecast on RBA set to cost Aussies thousands Surprise winner in Netflix’s Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul battle The star swimmer told The Courier-Mail that she decided to “stick around’ to add a personal touch at her first ever open house “It’d be lovely to maybe meet the potential new owner of the house – hopefully they’re here today – and pass on the torch to the next family that’s going to be in here,” she said Ms Campbell said her family spent last weekend repainting the entire home right down to the white picket fence which now looks “so good” she fell in love with the classic Queensland property again A signed Australian Olympics team shirt from the Tokyo games which is a gift for the buyer from Ms Campbell resting at one of her favourite spots in the home – the back veranda with views on a clear day of the Brisbane skyline Ms Campbell with the Paris Olympics gold medal which is heavier than expected She was armed with a signed Australian Olympic team shirt that she plans to gift whoever the new owner is “I felt like I was leaving Queensland and I wanted to leave something behind,” she said I’ll throw in a signed shirt from the Tokyo Olympics I was actually in Brisbane when I was training for Tokyo Olympics so it’s a nice little memento for whoever the new family is that gets to take over the house” The neighbours came over to chat about how good the home looks after the previous weekend’s paint work double lockup garage house eight years ago in October 2016 after moving out of a Bowen Hills apartment she shared with fellow Olympian The home has potential to be a double income earner for an investor or a home and side hustle for an owner-occupier with a self contained one bedroom with kitchenette and lounge unit downstairs The property is on a 405sq m block in a quiet cul-de-sac which is earmarked as one of the venues for the Brisbane Olympics in 2032 FOLLOW SOPHIE FOSTER
