Love: Despite – or perhaps because of – your isolated upbringing and active imagination, you develop intense and passionate romantic attachments. Which of the following sounds most familiar to you?
A. After a life-time of falling for intelligent, fiery, Byronic men, usually married ones, you finally find your soul-mate in a conventional and rigid young parson. (1 point)
B. When the person closest to you finally dies from a combination of alcoholism, laudanum abuse and tuberculosis, you never leave your house again. (2 points)
C. You are so shy that when you fall in love with a handsome young curate working for your father, you can only express it privately in poetry and consequently he leaves your life without ever knowing how you felt – his death not long after he leaves Haworth inspires you to…write some more poetry. (3 points)
