Uhhh, all it is really saying is that she grew the fuck up a bit and realizing that Brandon was all the things she actually wanted and that the perfect romantic partner didn't come in perfect handsome young packages.

And I think you are also mistaking Austen's opinion with the opinion of friend of Brandon's. And you are also expecting modern feminist ideas out of a rather old book. Not inline with current feminist opinion =/= anti-feminist.

She didn't need to grow up and she didn't want him. She just settled. It probably kills her inside.

I think the problem is Austen is held up as this great female women's views writer, and she's not. After doing my MA in Victorian lit, she's not even that good a writer IMO.

What book were you reading that she 'settled' and she certainly did need to grow the fuck up. She almost killed herself with acting like she was a heroine from some romance. How old are you anyways? 18? 19?
