    Inside the Mind of Lisbeth Salander

    Lisbeth Salander ’s Unique Psychiatric Profile There is a similar Lisbeth Salander in my life, so I know first-hand how complex this character is. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on their thought processes, they behave or think in opposition to your expectations. Sometimes these people look like pretty flowers, but when you try to pick them, you discover stinging nettles in your grasp. While it is true that Lisbeth does ... Read more

  • Romance between Mikael and Lisbeth
    Cookie G says:

    Steig Larsson made it clear in the original series that, yes Lisbeth fell in love, or what she feels is love, with Mikael but because of his relationship with Berger, Lisbeth knew that a monogamous relationship between her and Micke would never happen. Micke isn't the type of man who is able to hold a stable monogamous relationship for long. When she goes back to Sweden in the 2nd book, she is no longer in love with him. They merely view each other as close friends they can rely on no matter what. I can't say much about his relationship with Figuerola because her character wasn't expanded on much outside of being Micke's lover over the course of the series there hasn't been any hints at Lisbeth and Mikael having a sexual or romantic relationship the only other prominent lover Lisbeth has is Miriam who had a much larger role in the 2nd book. there has never been any hints at Dr. Anders Jonasson and Lisbeth having romantic feelings for each other. Jonasson saw that Lisbeth is a capable woman stuck in a bad situation and decided to help her as much as he could because he's a good person by the end of the series, Lisbeth travels to France to visit Mimmi indicating that she may have some romantic feelings for her people are allowed to ship whomever they want but also need to keep in mind that just because it is your personal headcanon, it does NOT replace the actual canon content in the books

  • English translation
    Christopher Lane says:

    There is an Art and Science of translation. the medium of the spoken, written word dubbing and subtitles in movie media presents such challenges; In films and being hard of hearing listening to the original language and reading subtitles allows one to get the best of understanding as there is a natural language where imagination experience allow connection to the author . The trilogy now read 3 times makes for 1st class reading as pertinent today with GBV getting greater coverage. 8 years later perhaps it is time to reverse the messages to latest at the top!

  • Romance between Mikael and Lisbeth
    libby livingston says:

    Actually Lizbeth is more romantic with women. Mick likes her intelligence and ingenuity. They are friends who have sex and respect each other but both have a loner personality. Sex is just sex to Mick. I dont think he loves anyone. He cares about the wimen in his life but he isn't about to live permanently with them. Too boring

  • All the evil
    Gwenn says:

    I'm listening to book 2 right now. "All the evil" happened before she turned 12 and led to she and her sister being separated and Elizabeth being institutionalized. I'm not clear if what happened during the "All the evil" time resulted in her mother's condition.

  • Fanfiction Websites: The Definitive List (to Explore in 2022)
    Ringo says:

    Archive, Fanfiction.net, and Wattpad are either incredibly frustrating to post on or are insanely unintuitive to navigate. The best option I've found for Fanfiction (and original fics) is RoyalRoad. Fimfiction will hopefully spawn Genfiction and take it's incredible, simple, glorious UI with it, and hopefully Archive, Fanfic, and Wattpad realize they lose authors for over-complicating the posting process

    I just finished the 6th book. I red all 6 in 5 days which means i was totaly amazed. However i am concerned about Lisbets and Mikaels relationship. I would love to see them been together exclusively instead of both having random affairs. It seems its up to Mikael for this to happen. Lets hope it will happen someday

  • What Will Lisbeth Do With All That Money?
    Sean-Paul says:

    In the first movie they DID make the watcher aware, if you were paying attention. In Switzerland the banker calculated the movie and showed the figure of $3.2 billion on his calculator. Later, the newscaster relays the sum of money as "approximately $2 billion" Leaving the viewer to realize she kept about $1.2 billion. Immediately after us the scene M asks her about her "was it a good investment?" To which she replies "it was ok" lol....... you gotta catch the little bits of humor

    jerome says:

    why so much hate for notepad? I actually use it almost daily. Of course I also use Linux as my daily OS. I love notepad because it strips out all the extra CRAP put in by other "fancy " WP's. Admittedly I'm an author and couldn't imagine using something that 'simple' as my WP, but than he admits he wants something quick and dirty PLUS, what year was this?book published (in English ) in 2010 probably written in 2005, WP's were expensive!
