Jane Austen
I watched Persuasion (2022) and can't BELIEVE how terrible it was. Like I heard it was bad. But I never thought I would get so much cringe from a Jane Austen movie.....
As if writers actually think gen Z won't understand Jane Austen's writing.
The reason we read Jane Austen is to read lines like
"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you"
Have I memorised that....YES!!!
Persuasion (2022) tried to be the next Emma (2020) but became Bridgerton.
Favourite Jane Austen novels (a.k.a all books)
1. Emma
2. Pride and Prejudice
3. Northanger Abbey
4. Persuasion
5. Mansfield Park
6. Sense and Sensibility
7. Lady Susan
"It is not every one," said Elinor, "who has your passion for dead leaves."
I feel that my entire experience with reading Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility can be summed up in the sarcasm of that sentence.
Sense and Sensibility -Jane Austen
“It is not what we think or feel that makes us who we are. It is what we do. Or fail to do.”
- Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

All the "Austen novels explained badly" Tabloid Covers
Most of the original text is from this post by @redwooding
Re-did the Pride & Prejudice one to look more tabloid-y and changed John Thorpe's caption to the funny version. Note: gigs during the regency period was a type of carriage.
how in the heck was Jane austen so good at writing dialogue. she's literally the best. I've seen no one better
I swear to god if those men in the Ted Lasso writers room pull out a sense and sensibility themed plot.
The older more emotionally reserved leading lady who conceals her emotions but desperately wants love.
The younger hopeless romantic who wants to be swept off her feet.
The hopless romantic enters into an exciting world wind romance with a rich attractive partner who showers her with attention and gifts. Unfortunately, they have a public scandal which they had already done once before and they choose their reputation over our leading lady.
Eventually, the hopeless romantic realizes that the grumpy old man who’s been looking out for her and allows her to be herself while grounding her is the one for her and they end up happily together.
Back to our other leading lady.
She ends up with the kind man who does not appear to be agreat romantic lead but boasts a quiet intimacy that makes people attach to him, including a previous relationship that is still prominent in his life. Everyone notes how good of friends they are because no one suspects there could be anything but friendship - they continuly miss chances and hold emotions close to their chests. Both putting others needs before their own happiness. Our leading lady eventually lets her guard down and allows herself to express her emotions to him instead of keeping them to herself. They too end up happily together.
Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the "I can fix him" movement but that's just not me. He'll fix himself if he knows what's good for him.’ and thats why her works are still calling the shots today.
This right here? This is exactly what I come to tumblr for.
