I'm feeling like supporting some women's wrongs! (And rights, but definitely also wrongs.)

i have literally zero well formed thoughts on this and i don’t have either of the books in front of me right this minute to check details but i am Sure there’s some correspondence between clarissa harlowe’s father accusing her of forsaking her duty to him because she doesn’t want to marry a man she considers morally bankrupt and fanny price’s uncle accusing her of ingratitude because she doesn’t want to marry a man she considers morally bankrupt

#i mean. it's not like austen was unfamiliar with richardson lol #also the narrator wryly noting that fanny probably wouldn't have withstood so long if she wasn't already in love/clarissa's rejection of the #idea she has to be in love with lovelace to dislike solmes #laura talks books #clarissa reread #austen blogging

And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.

What makes Persuasion so special imo is that it is the only Jane Austen book - apart from Lady Susan - where the female hero knows that the male hero is in love with her:

And also knows that the male hero is jealous of another male. Yeah even being happy about that jealousy and „supporting“ it.

The last 1/4 of the book is basically just Anne, kicking down metaphorical doors, screaming: „Go man! marry me!“

No other female hero is pushing the male hero - so much - towards a marriage proposal (in a harmless way *looks at Lady Susan*)

And I think it is also fascinating how no adaptation so far has capture this spirit. Yeah we have the iconic: „He ought not, he does not.“ - speech, and every viewer knows what this means. But no one ever shows Anne going: „oh shit! He loves me!“

It's 11 PM, but one of my favorite little Darcy/Elizabeth moments happens while she still hates him and thinks he's a depraved monster, and I find it really entertaining.

It's during the Kent section, when Darcy calls at the parsonage and finds Elizabeth alone. During a longer, awkward conversation in which they both deeply misunderstand each other, they have this tiny interchange:

[Darcy:] “This seems a very comfortable house. Lady Catherine, I believe, did a great deal to it when Mr Collins first came to Hunsford.” “I believe she did—and I am sure she could not have bestowed her kindness on a more grateful object.” “Mr Collins appears very fortunate in his choice of a wife.” “Yes, indeed; his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him, or have made him happy if they had. My friend has an excellent understanding—though I am not certain that I consider her marrying Mr Collins as the wisest thing she ever did."

So: they are in Mr Collins's house. Darcy tries to re-start the conversation with a polite nothing about the house. Elizabeth agrees about Lady Catherine's micro-managing, but can't resist the chance to make a sly jab at Mr Collins (who is not present) to Darcy (a genuine villain, as far as she believes).

Darcy's reply looks a bit like an attempt to redirect the conversation into safer waters (they can agree that Charlotte is cool!). But although his remark is only somewhat related to what Elizabeth said, I think it's a natural follow-up in his mind because he is also insulting Mr Collins, if more subtly.

He could have praised Mr Collins's judgment in choosing Charlotte or just said something nice about Charlotte; he doesn't. Instead, he suggests that Mr Collins's choice of Charlotte was a matter of good fortune—or chance, as Charlotte herself would say!—on Collins's part. Darcy and Elizabeth both know Collins is a fool and that his choice of a woman like Charlotte says nothing about his judgment, only about his good fortune. (Elizabeth has even better reason than Darcy to know how much Collins ending up with Charlotte was lucky for him, but Darcy can see it anyway.)

Darcy's phrasing gives him some plausible deniability, but I think he's generally quite careful with his wording and the implicit insult to Mr Collins is not accidental.

Elizabeth, I think, takes this exactly as intended. She's not at all confused about where this tangent came from or offended by it or anything. She readily seizes on the new line of conversation as encouragement to keep insulting Mr Collins and his appeal to women with functioning brainpower.

Elizabeth is pretty scrupulously polite in general, so I kind of love that she just starts venting about her absolute contempt for Mr Collins and the Collins/Charlotte marriage to Darcy in the middle of a tense and weird conversation in Mr Collins's house. And I love that Darcy, who is otherwise more or less dog-paddling his way through this conversation, is like "yeah, your friend seems really cool, that dumbass is lucky he accidentally chose someone with a brain."

Elizabeth: "Right? And, let me add-"

(Is it a bit of an asshole move on both their parts in the context of that scene? Yeah, I think a little. I also love it! Please trash-talk obnoxious hosts in their own parlours for the rest of your lives.)

#anghraine babbles #deep blogging #i'm feeling a bit 'don't explain the joke' about ... well. explaining the joke. but it's still funny to me!#darcy and elizabeth are genuinely good people but sometimes they can't help statler and waldorfing it up #austen blogging #pride and prejudice #jane austen #elizabeth bennet #fitzwilliam darcy #otp of otps #sidenote: i don't think darcy and charlotte really interact 'onstage'#but i find it interesting that charlotte (who does not like men) sticks up for him multiple times #and is the one to deduce months before the pemberley scenes that darcy is generally different than she's known him #meanwhile darcy is oblivious to charlotte trying to further his romance with elizabeth but is like ... good vibes tbh #charlotte lucas

asteroid Jane Austen (39415) in your astrology natal chart

By : Brielledoesastrology (tumblr)

asteroid "Jane Austen" code number : 39415

It is obvious we know what this asteroid is named after 😉📙✨.

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century.

Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security.

Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.

Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

(source : wikipedia)

her works, she showcases the significance of genuine love, effective communication, navigating societal expectations, personal growth, integrity, and achieving a balance between emotions and reason.

In astrology the asteroid "Jane austen" (39415) could indicate : your experience in having romantic connections with very upper class or very lower class people (especially having actual genuine love for them), handling or going through societal expectation, having some sort of personal growth or intergrity in your life story, having balanced between emotions and reasons on the final of your story or experience, could also indicate where jane austen works resonates or relates soo much to you, where other people try to interrupt your love connections, where you are a really great or good writer especially in romance, where you could be a famous or well known writter especially in the romance theme.

⚠️ Warning : i consider this asteroid as prominent or brings the most effect if it conjuncts ur personal planets (sun,moon,venus,mercury,mars) and if it conjuncts ur personal points (ac,dc,ic,mc), i use 0 - 2.5 orbs (for conjunctions). For sextile, trine, opposite and square aspects to asteroids i usually use 0 - 2 orbs. Yes tight conjunctions of planet / personal points to asteroids tends to give the most effect, but other aspects (sextile,trine,square,opposite, etc) still exist, even they produce effects. If it doesn't aspect any of your planets or personal points, check the house placement of the asteroid, maybe some stuff/topics relating to this asteroid could affect some topics/stuff relating to the house placement . ⚠️
