Remember how in the last 2 pages of North & South Margaret just melted and hid her face on Mr Thornton's shoulder and he put her arms around his neck and showed her the roses from her old house which he kept treasured up in his pocket book to remind him of her

Jane Austen: and here we have the love interest. He might have some issues, but once you get to know him, he's a great guy. Good looking, heart of gold, the works.
Charlotte Brontë: get ready for the weirdest man you have ever met.

One of my favorite things about John Thornton, and something that leaves an impression on me whenever I think of North and South, was that he took Margaret's emotional well-being incredibly seriously, and in fact, was one of the ONLY characters who cared about her emotional well-being. She took it upon herself to be the emotional support for not only her whole family but to everyone else when needed, and she had to bear her own emotions all to herself. In turn, John frequently took it upon himself to look out for her during her especially difficult times - like her parent's deaths, and did things to show he cared even without her being aware of it (attending her mom's funerals and staying the background to not draw attention to himself - he just wanted to be there for her support) Like John regularly calls himself hard, uncouth, but this man had so much heart and cared so deeply.

margaret going back to helstone after living in london breaks my heart every time. like she’s going back to the place she grew up in where she has all these happy memories but nothing is the same. yes the trees and the town are still beautiful but everything else?? it’s all different.
her mother is distanced from her after being away for such a long time and she’s clearly and openly unhappy with her life. she yearns for her past life, when she wasn’t married, when margaret wasn’t even born. no matter what margaret does she can’t take away her mother’s pain. her father whom she has worshipped all her life is also severely depressed and just. doesn’t have the strength anymore. like do you know how hard it must be to realize that neither of your parents seem to want to keep living?? that no matter what you do you can’t help them because it’s beyond your ability??
and this goes on for a large part of the book, not just the beginning.
