Re: Jane Austen Thread

I've only read Northanger Abbey, which I don't remember much and Persuasion which I didn't finish. It really put me off how much the narration shilled the main character Anne. Especially in comparison to her sister Mary. Mary was never as pretty as Anne, also her husband wanted Anne, also her children love Anne more.

Maybe those weren't her best novels, but I don't have much interest in trying the rest.

I personally love Northanger Abbey, but it's a novel you need to have a bit of context to properly enjoy imo. Specifically how it's basically a parody, and how it plays with the tropes of the gothic novel that was in fashion at the time. It's Austen's wittiest and very tongue in cheek, which may be in part due to her being quite young at the time she wrote it.
