Benedict’s Story In The Book Series Differs From The Show
Benedict does not have the same arc regarding his sexualityin the Bridgerton books as he does in the show. Benedict’s story in the Bridgerton books never mentions him exploring his bisexuality as his novel, An Offer From A Gentleman, focuses on his romance with Sophie Beckett. The story follows the same beats as the classic Cinderella fairytale as Benedict tries to find her after a masquerade ball, which is mentioned in Bridgerton season 3, episode 8. Though this is a detail exclusive to the show, Benedict’s bisexuality fits his storyline and path toward character growth.
