Emma (2009) is everything to me.

#the knightely in that version is absolutely perfect #like that IS knightely #but literally everyone (except emma) is literally perfect in that movie #don't get me wrong i love romola garai with all my heart and i adore her emma #but in my interpretation of the character from the book she's a bit more prim and snooty than romola garai's interpretation #but god that show is so good #frank is everything to me #that actor played him so so so so well #and jane is utterly perfect #and mrs. weston!!#and john and isabella are literally perfect too #and michael gambon as mr. woodhouse is genuinely pulled straight from the book like that is him #and miss bates!!!!#i will never ever get over miss bates in this version #she is such a fleshed out and well rounded character and the actress plays her SO well #like this show understood the fucking assignment #god it's just so good #emma #emma 2009

genuinely, if you're one of the people who believes it's the palestinian people who are committing these crimes and who is excusing them because of it, unfollow me. its hamas. you're making excuses for hamas. i can not believe we have reached a level of stupidity and glorification of violence where people will look you in the eyes and tell you that this is just how oppressed people act. that they just go on killing sprees ever so often. that is gross and untrue.

#and if you think any person deserves to be r*ped killed etc? fuck off.#i genuinely dont really care anymore. looking at this websites reaction to violence aimed at a the population of a country they don't like #has shown me how trult deranged some of the people here are. like i had an argument with someone who said civilian deserve hamas' violence #'no one will miss you'#and i had a full on s*icide bate #complete with a description and the good ol' no one will miss you #and like. i dont really care. that person is clearly doing worse than i am #but if that is the reaction you get for saying 'k*lling people bad' i truly dont know if i can stand this website any longer

Jane Fairfax and Emma Woodhouse have never been friends. Mr. Knightley says it's because Emma is jealous, but she doesn't act jealous. She is quick to praise Jane's accomplishments (when they aren't being bragged about by Miss Bates) and prior to age 8, Jane would not have had a good education. The only time she is somewhat jealous is when she's slightly worried that Knightley might actually like Jane. So why weren't the girls friends then in childhood? We know they grew up together until Jane left to live with the Campbells.

I think Miss Bates is probably a huge reason, Emma cannot stand her and her constant bragging about Jane. Even without jealousy, that would get old very quickly. I mean we all know this lady, who brags about their family member, it's awful. So being friends with Jane is a package deal of seeing Miss Bates far more often.

Secondly, children hate being told to be friends with someone, adults hate it too. Everyone always saying Emma and Jane should be best friends just because they are the same age gives me flashbacks to forced friendships in my own childhood. It rarely works.

Thirdly, this is a two way street and Jane gives nothing. Emma tries, she makes a resolution that it will be better this time and is met with vague, short responses. Now was Emma being somewhat nosey? Yes. But she wants to hear about Weymouth and gets almost nothing. It's natural to talk about a trip! It doesn't even seem like Jane offers another subject:

She was, besides, which was the worst of all, so cold, so cautious! There was no getting at her real opinion. Wrapt up in a cloak of politeness, she seemed determined to hazard nothing. She was disgustingly, was suspiciously reserved.

However, I think the real problem is the social discrepancy between Jane and Emma. We know Jane thinks about it; she brings up her fate frequently. Emma doesn't even need to marry, Jane is to be a governess. She is at the bottom of the gentry and Emma is near the very top. The only time in the novel that Jane comfortably talks to Emma is when her engagement is finally public and secure and she has assumed Emma's level in society.

And that makes sense! Emma is supposed to act like Miss/Mrs. Bates is an equal (roughly) but she sends the women charity food and transportation. It is inherently awkward. It's actually no wonder they've never been friends.

I hope you enjoyed my random, jumbled TedTalk.

#jane austen #emma #jane fairfax #emma woodhouse #mr. knightley #miss bates #friendship is two way #we never see Jane try either #so it's unfair to put all the blame on Emmers

I wish I could say I related most to any of the austen protagonists but in my heart of hearts I know I'm mrs. bates. I too thank people excessively when they perform basic decency and I never ever shut up

Mrs Bates’ husband is the former vicar of Highbury; which means that Mrs Bates used to live in the house that Mr Elton now inhabits. Right? Miss Bates and her sister — Jane Fairfax’s mother — grew up there. Jane Fairfax’s mom lived there until her marriage, and then … returned after her husband died? And died in that house, when Jane was three? And Jane herself lived there until she moved in with the Campbells?

So when adult Jane visits Mrs Elton, she’s visiting a house that probably has a lot of un-fun memories. And when Mrs Elton comments to Jane (indirectly) on the house being small, she’s disparaging those memories, and disparaging her mother, and disparaging her grandmother, who was kicked out of that house after her husband died.

I understood that Mrs Elton is constantly demeaning Jane in a way that’s somehow more insulting for being so careless; but I hadn’t picked up on this aspect of it.

(Jane Austen’s World, I thank you.)

Does Mr Knightley hold the living, or Mr Woodhouse? If it’s Mr Woodhouse, I hold Mr Knightley in even higher regard, because he has zero obligation to the Bates women and yet provides for them as he can. I wonder if he feels guilty for not marrying Miss Bates. They must be close in age.
