103, 147, 151

103.) I've heard this fandom say more than once "If they ever made it canon-" and I wonder, is this something they really speculate is possible?? I don't know! I don't watch the show.

147.) I never thought that CS Lewis meant for Susan to be read as atheistic, just irreligious. She had lost herself in modern materialism and could no longer experience the mysticism of Narnia and Aslan. Or something. (or, she became a woman and feminine sexuality is rife with original sin and therefore she wasn't allowed back to Narnia. WHATEVER)

151.) OH! I agree! I've always thought Persuasion was her best, most subtle and realistic book of all. Reading it, I find it amazing that she was never married. Her insight into mature love (and married people) is so right on.
