If you ask any of my friends or anyone that knows me at all, then you would know that I am obsessed with Jane Austen, especially Pride and Prejudice. By looking at the female protagonists from works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Elizabeth Gaskell, I will explore the strengths and weaknesses that make them classics and revolutionaries.
[As promised, I will reply to your future posts in a less formal/analytical way]First off, in your post, you asked,"However, do you think this makes her a stronger character? By letting others walk all over her and disregarding her feelings? What do you think?"Are these questions directed to me?[Second, I find that your grammatical/structural technique almost flawless. Great job!]Also, I like how you analized an out side source (the video clip) as well as the book that you were reading.Now for the content, I agree with you about Anne. From what is shown in the clip, Anne is shown to be more of a selfless/self-restricted character than her sister and father. Although this maybe true, she has the arura of being burdened by her huge responsibilities. There fore, I fully see eye to eye with you about Anne's character.Suggestions: Keep it up, Peggy!Other: Very great music, every song reflects a different side of your topic, from the music of the era to the passion that is communicated from the novel to the audience... don't change it! =)
peggy, i was suddenly compelled to read your blog-mostly because i ditched you for Kid Nation, but here. I really like how every characteristic you described was paralled with one of her sister's or father's. It helps a reader who isn't reading your blog to put everything your saying into perspective. Also, to answer your question, 'cause yah, i think it need some answering by your readers. I feel that, it doesn't make her stronger, in fact, it makes her seem weaker to the reader. Although through analysis, one may decide that by putting others first, especially in the face of "financial crisis" she is strong and selfless nature, I feel that on the surface, she is using these facts-the money, the fact tah her sister will always outshine her, her selflessness, just as a shield, as if she's afraid to put herself out there in the same way that Elizabeth does, she is just hiding her own fears and weaknesses behind the facade of saintliness (I think I made that word up, but you get the picture). That or I could be completly wrong...just thought I'd leave you a thought.
Aww...thanks Timmy. And yes, those questions are directed at you...Did you actually look through ALL of my music?
