"...he raised her in his arms; she put her two hands about his neck, her face changed, and she was dead."
-Nelly Dean. Chapter 8. Page 63
Another Illustration assignment for my English class [hence the unnecessary border thing]
I was to draw, based on my own opinion, the most compelling moment within chapters 7-9. I chose the death of Frances, because Hindley was head over heels for her and totally breaks down over it. Hindley needs a hug.
I googled random "dying in arms" pictures and one of them stood out in my head, so when i couldn't find anymore, I used my inspiration of that in my head and... created this. I even researched the time period clothing since the two were in bed, or ... at least she was.
