Allie Murray :
I’m glad the aunt and uncle took care of her and she was treated well. I wish her mother had the same treatment.

What do you make of Dido’s pose in the painting? It’s kind of a different playful pose. She was a beauty!

I disagree that there is no subservience happening in the painting. It very much subtly captures "close but not quite equals"

It sounds like she married for love; she gave up some of the luxury she was used to, and married someone of a lower status.

£20 in 1776 would equate to £4,107.60 (£342.30/mo) today. Not too shabby of an allowance 😆

If the film Belle is accurate Dido already had a significant financial status from inheritance when her father died. That may be why her uncle didn't—

the film showed her mother had died, that's why the father took her in?

£20 per year? That equivalent to about £4,000 in today's value.

I've always been intrigued by Belle's story. The film inspired by her life is one of my favourites.
