Re: "Classics" that you hate?

I always thought Jane Austen was poking fun at romance novels of her time. But then again, I read P&P when I was 13 and was blown away by "waitaminute DARCY'S A GOOD GUY?" so I may be biased.

What I like about her novels is the social commentary from a woman's perspective (re: money and social standing) and I love the characters. If those equal glorified romcoms I'll take it. (And tbf there wasn't much writing material to choose from without getting into trouble due to her gender.)

Jane Austen romcoms > Brontë dramas

ayrt

Agreed, I like the romcoms better than the soaps. I just don't think either qualifies as meaningful or representative in the classic sense. Neither were trying on purpose to say something

I think they're significant wrt what you said, social commentary from a woman's perspective. But likewise I think Queer as Folk is significant for being a mainstream LGBT soap but I wouldn't call it a classic or representative of the time
