"How very differently we feel!—Not think they will do each other any good! This will certainly be the beginning of one of our quarrels about Emma, Mr. Knightley.” (Mrs. Weston, Ch 5)
“We think so very differently on this point, Mr. Knightley, that there can be no use in canvassing it. We shall only be making each other more angry." (Emma, Ch 8)
Jane Austen is brilliant. How similar are these two statements! How well the author shows how Emma has taken on some of Mrs. Weston's manner and style, which makes sense since Emma was raised by her.
Both of them basically say, "let's agree to disagree" which of course Mr. Knightley does not accept because he's certain he's right on both points (Emma and Harriet will be a damaging friendship and Emma influenced Harriet incorrectly).
Emma and Mrs. Weston, rightly or wrongly, stand up to Mr. Knightley. Yet, both women also attempt to smooth over the argument and make peace. They are both used to Knightley, this is how Mrs. Weston has taught Emma to deal with him.
#emma woodhouse#emma#mrs. weston#mr. knightley#also the implication that Mrs. Weston quarreled with Mr. Knightley frequently#As a governess#She knows how to stand up for herself#She taught Emma to defend her opinions#Which while she may go wrong sometimes#is still a good trait#No wonder Jane Austen has lasted 200 years in counting#Jane Austen#jane austen is a genius

crazy that there's less casual misogyny in a book written by jane austen, an actual regency era woman, than in a book written by an ostensibly modern woman like julia quinn.
#finally getting around to reading one of these things and it's good but every few pages you just get slapped in the face with a casual bit#of sexism. classism and colonialism too but mostly sexism. it's fucking crazy!!#how have jane austen's 200 year old books aged better than this 20 year old one!!!!!!!

Occasionally I think about the fact that I have touched Jane Austen's actual writing desk and it blows my mind
#you too can touch Jane Austen's actual writing desk if you visit one of her former houses uhhhh somewhere in Hampshire#I absolutely do not remember where but yeah it's just. sitting there not roped off or anything#she wrote several of her novels at that desk 200 years ago isn't that insane#and we still just Have It#draco speaks#I've also stood almost directly over William Shakespeare's skeleton but unlike my mother I have not visited his house

instagram algorithm serving me so many reels lately of people reading sjm books and then complaining about the characters like "when you're trying to finish acosf but nesta keeps getting in the way" or "acotar5 is coming next 😁 but it's going to be about elain 😔" (side note NOT EVEN CONFIRMED!) why are you even reading the books if you hate the characters so much. do you guys know you don't have to read them?
#i'm gonna just be a hater in the tags here sorry if you like these theories but they're stupid#oh my god i saw the stupidest one last night that started with 'cc3 spoilers'#first off the book isn't even out yet so why are you framing this as if it's confirmed info or something#anyways#then it said 'bryce and the inner circle losing the war... until the real OGs show up' and then it rattled off tog character names#like... you really think that cc3 is going to feature an entire war being fought in the acotar universe? and the acotar books will just what#skip over that whole war? and war in one universe being told in the books of another universe?#be so serious right now#and my friend told me that she saw a theory that the female on the cover of cc3 is aelin and it means that aelin will be in the book#and i was too stunned to speak when she told me that but i was like WHY#WHY would the main character from a DIFFERENT SERIES be on the cover of CRESCENT CITY#i'm not saying that aelin can't or won't make an appearance in cc3#i think if she does it will be very brief!#with where i am in hosab now i think the female on the cover is ariadne but idk#oh or it could be hypaxia since she's a necromancer? i'm JUST getting to that part so i don't really know yet#yaz thinks it's danika which i think makes the most sense#i also think bryce's time in prythian will be brief maybe like 200 pages but who am i to say#anyways why are people bothering to read crescent city at all if they obviously only want to be reading acotar#no one is forcing you guys to read this series!#you people would not survive a single jane austen novel

GIRL SAY MAPLE GROVE ONE MORE TIME I FUCKING DARE YOU *cocks gun*
#v reads the classics#or: v slowly loses their mind over fictional characters jane austen wrote 200 years ago#or: v discovers he's capable of unspeakable violence#or: v has beef with characters that talk too much nonsense and that she'd rather hit with a chair than listen to them

im having such a great run with fiction right now and largely with fiction written by women which is so sick
#obviously jane austen doesn’t miss then shirley jackson and now claire keegan#small things like these is coring me like an apple#the working class not having a father of it all#the writing style is also very very similar to how i write which makes it more surreal#then i also read fan fiction by brent spiner and loved it#and he may not be a woman but that book is him baby-girl-ifying himself for 200 pages#very happy#i have to get up at 4am for work and my downstairs neighbour is playing? evil circus music? full blast#so I am simply choosing to be awake right now to read instead of being stressed about the music

Ugh, we’re back to saying Jane Austen was frivolously shallow because she didn’t mention the Corn Laws, the Luddites, and the details of the Napoleonic Wars.
#just stop it#the article talks about the waves of Janiteism abd doesn’t mention that there’s waves of this stupid theory as well#Jane Austen is popular because she wrote about people who seems just as real and typical today as they were 200 years ago#elitist academics can just hush up#jane austen

Persuasion 2022:
(No spoilers)
The character assassinations and horrible pacing were uncalled for.
The only reason I finished the film was because my friend and I watched this shitshow together.
That poor cast.
How did I end the film more in love with Mr Elliot than Capt. W???
He wasn’t a villain at all.
#I shouldn’t have to tag no spoilers on a 200 yo book but they were very *free* with the plot#the most heinous crime of all was the butchering of the letter scene.#persuasion#persuasion2022#jane austen#no spoilers
