Probably because in our middle class society being snobby about high school social status is not as cruel as being snobby about class. Cher’s matchmaking of 20th girls and boys seems so harmless compared to Emma’s matchmaking of 19th century wives and husbands who don’t have as many options or freedoms as we do!

The best thing about the 2005 P&P: it converted so many youngsters into Janeites! :)

Why do we have to ‘LIKE’ characters in order to enjoy a novel? Jane Austen was perfectly capable of creating heroines and heroes who are generally liked by most people. Ever think that she made Fanny and Edmund harder to like for a reason? Perhaps she was writing her most powerful satire against 18th/19th-century conservative agenda?
Seriously, like Prudie says in The Jane Austen Book Club, we’re not voting for prom queen here.

I think people submitting to the AustenConfessions blog needs to come up with something other than “I love Mr. Darcy.”
______THere are more to her stories than just the men, or the relationships! Come on, now!
Seriously! And I thought confessions were supposed to be thoughts that you are hesitant to share with the world. Nothing scandalous or earth shattering about ‘I love Mr. Darcy.’ Come on, Janeites! Let’s talk about our complicated feelings about Jane Austen and her novels and characters.
