![]() ![]() Soames wants to be loved, like everyone else, but he loves way too much when he loves that he can suffocate the person he loves with his love. No wonder they call him “man of property.” He is a man of his times, and at least partly thanks to his upbringing in the Forsyte family, he sees property and duty as the two most important things in life. ![]() ![]() Soames Forsyte is a complicated and a somewhat pathetic character. Soames Forsyte is one of the most complex characters that Damian Lewis brought to life on small screen. A single sentence by John Galsworthy, the Nobel laureate author of The Forsyte Saga summarizes Soames for me: “The biggest tragedy of life is the utter impossibility to change what you have done.” So, make sure you meet the Forsytes one way or the other…Īnd, now let’s turn our attention to one particular Forsyte… I assume most of you have met Soames Forsyte! In case you haven’t, you should correct that as soon as possible □ And, it is quite easy to meet Soames nowadays - The Forsyte Saga is back on Public Television (check your local PBS station) this summer… And, it comes as no surprise since New York Times reports that The Forsyte Saga “remains among the most beloved installments, ranking behind the landmark “Upstairs, Downstairs” in a 2007 fan poll.” PBS has also just re-released it on DVD and it is now available on iTunes, too. What you don’t know, Damian, is, one of those dark horses is writing on your fan blog! ![]()
