    Of all Mary's relationships, I think my favourite is one that isn't even a romance, and that's the bond that she and Tom share. I really love how close they get, especially after she loses Matthew. They develop this beautiful friendship and a sibling-like closeness that's just so nice to watch.

She can play opposite Legends like Maggie Smith and Shirley McClain with this ease and magnitude. That is why Lady Mary is this Hate to Love; Love to Hate character.

    I think you either love or hate the character of Mary. I personally adore her, because, as Michelle Dockery so brilliantly explained, she began the series as this mean unlikeable rich girl but then as the show progresses you can see so many more facets to her personality, some better, some worst. She's done so much growth in the span of six seasons, always taking in mind though that "growth" does not mean perfection. Mary is a flawed character and I think that's what's so alluring about her, that just like like Thomas Barrow she can be mean spirited and she often finds herself in troubles of her own making, but she's in no way evil or irredimable ; she can be very caring to the people she loves, she is resourceful and so remarkably strong. Love or hate her, you can't deny that Mary Crawley is a masterfully constructed character and so very thrilling to watch.

    One of the many things I like about Michelle Dockery's view on Mary is that she isn't blind to Mary's faults. I've seen quite a few actors who play mean characters, but insist that the character actually isn't mean, despite evidence to the contrary. Michelle is under no delusions about Mary, yet that doesn't stop her from liking the character. Which only adds to her portrayal.

    I agree. I've heard so many actors describing their character, even villains, as "misunderstood". Somehow having a reason behind henious acts make those acts ok. Seeing Michelle so honest about Mary's character even when Mary is far from a villain is refreshing. I respect her and I respect Lady Mary, these two ladies are both incredibly strong.

Thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case with Michelle.

I'd rather have Mary (and us) heartbroken once than constantly unhappy because she's in a marriage that's almost non-existent. Especially with Matthew, when the two of them went through years of separation and problems just to be together. And what if Matthew left them right after the baby was born and showed up at home once every few months?

    I loved that scene between Tom and Mary at 13:49 because I felt like it had an uncanny echo to reality. Michelle Dockery’s fiancé passed away during the filming of the series, and she’s mentioned how his death made her understand Mary better in later series. If I recall correctly it was also Allen Leech (or at least one of the cast) who’d introduced them in the first place. Either way, it was a heartfelt, beautifully written and acted scene.

    I don't like it how people say she was awful in the beginning. Even in the first episode you can see how bad she feels snooping in the servants' quarters, and apologises right away. And as for Edith, she gives as good as she gets so I think ppl feel sorry for Edith as she is rather unfortunate. Mary is deep and mysterious, one of my all time favourite characters.

    Edith has bad luck, but so much stuff is brought upon on herself. She literally started a fire. Should Mary have (forced Edith to) told Bertie about Marigold? No. But you know that Mary isn't holding Edith at a higher standard than herself, because she rejects Matthew's proposal the first time specifically because of Pamuk, and they don't get engaged until after she informs him. I think that's the real difference. Even though Mary can be cold, she's honest. I love you bringing up the servants' quarters in episode one! When she says, "I always apologize when I'm in the wrong; it's a habit of mine." Pure gold! As Michelle said in this interview, Mary knows what she's doing because, even when she goes against it, she has a moral compass, and a strong personal sense of right and wrong. I agree with you. She's one of my favorite characters on the show, if not all of television.

Instead of the whole chase over three seasons I would've preferred Mary to have married Charles in season five, then we could have gotten to know them as a couple. Henry felt a little rushed, like she had to marry by the end of the show and they needed to introduce someone real quick.

You appreciate her strongness (even when she's weak), her level-headedness (even when she acts out), and her independence (even though the majority of her storylines each season are about who she'll marry). She is made up of a bunch of contradictions - which is why we don't like her, but we love her.

Like all of us they were prisoners of time and place. We are riders on the storm.

    Mary is my absolute favorite daughter out of the three. Always honest and blunt, and mentally and emotionally strong. She is someone I could look up to. She started off as a snob in season 1, but Matthew brought the caring person out of her (a.k.a "her softness"). It was amazing to see her relationship grow with Anna, and through her with Bates and see her help them both attain their happy ever after. With Anna, she proved she could be a good and reliable sister; a confidant and a helper. She would have helped Edith but she turned her away, there was no repairing a relationship that the other wanted to keep broken. They stopped being sisters a while after Sybil died. Another example of what a good sister she could be was her relationship with Tom. For Sybil's sake, both she and Matthew accepted Tom. And throughout the show Mary was there for Tom and to listen to him. She treated him as an equal, not as a former chauffeur or servant. It was painful to watch Mary mourn Matthew's death, but it was equally inspiring to see her stand back up stronger than before and take the reins of Downton along with Tom.

    I know why Downton Abbey is so popular its because people back them had manners and eddicate. There were the same type of people they have today but there were things you just didn't do. People are open and discussting. Even though it was so restrictive its a relief to see people actually dress. Men didn't wear their pant around their butt. Woman half dress the fashions back then were beautiful. Dress, shoes, hats. The charactor evolved into human beings. Thay were snobs in the beginning but as time went on people who you would love to have dinner with. Love this show.💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝😁

    I think you mean rich aristocrats had manners and etiquette. I don't think Downton Abbey a show about lords and their servants reflects the whole period and the people that lived through it. What about the slums, gangs, crime and violence? I don't think you'd be saying that if this show was set in an industrial town like Manchester and focused on the lives of working class people after world war 1. There was a lot of workers strikes and political aggitation. The clothes the middle class people wore are nice though.
