Jane Austen understanding modern men's 'minds' since 1815...

Women of sense do not want silly husbands...I feel she is implying here 🤣🤣🤣

Ok since I'm binge listening to Jane Austen rn here's my hot and cold takes.

Emma? A lesbian romance novel. Hariett is clearly the second main character and the love interest. Did u not read her introduction? Hellloooo????? Mr knightley ? A fine man if I'm giving the benefit of the doubt BUT on very thin ice. If u like their romance i diagnose u with daddy issues. The reason she married him is just to have enough justifications to still visit the Martins, since they will be living on their ground and mr knightley obviously visits them. And cause she has daddy issues herself but that's only secondary.

Other hot takes include; mrs elton is funny and as a character i like her. Miss Bates??? Actually the love of my life totally underappreciated I'd listen to her all day. Frank? I mean i think mr knightley said everything there is to say and Jane deserved better. THE DAD? Omg put him in camp characters a pandemic makes u relate to harder than is comfortable. Also he said aroace rights and allo oppression which is so valid of him. (Did i just diagnose myself with Old Man? Yes)

Sense and sensibility

Only tangentially a romance book and actually centers the sisters which is lucky for it because all the romances suck. If you hate marianne DNI u suck more than willoughby, at least he has the decency to like her. She's not annoying she's immature which is her good right as a 17y/o jfc ppl. Brandon/Elinor ftw. What the fuck was the Edward plot anyways his brother doesn't seem the man to marry a """""poor"""" woman. This was not good, felt forced and stupid also i think Brandon finding love with the second woman who is very unlike the first one he loved and Edward not finding love with the first woman he loved would have still fit the themes and Marianne would have found a nice man later come on. I also think this book over explained it's themes a bit so like making it the men who exemplify the moral more than the main characters would have been good.

Pride and prejudice

The perfect romance the quintessential romance. I love Elizabeth and jane's dynamic I love our og autistic romcom love interest. I honestly love all the sisters and i hope Lydia won't be mistreated :( Mrs Bennett is the most underrated woman and mr Bennett could stand to be a little more caring for his family.

My only hot take: if you don't like the zombie movie you're a snob without taste it's a master piece and i do not understand how you could not want to see Elizabeth banett slaying zombies. Also sam riley was an excellent Darcy i can not understand him being left out of discussions. Am i biased cause it's the way i was introduced to all of this? Yes. Am i correct anyways? Also yes.
