harry styles and jennie kim hooked up in the past; a thread. (PART 2)

the images below are just to represent the thread, i got both from @roseqnne.

in part two, i promised to explain why my theory if all of harry and jennie's public interactions at the time are so silly and no big deal.

from here, there is almost no proven interaction between H and J. it's just speculation.

well, let's start with that.

harry's holidays at japan.

in january of 2019, when harry finished the 'Live On Tour', he decided to take advantage of his rest period in japan (a country he loves very much). jennie, who began her journey of fame and acclaim in the west, was already very well regarded with blackpink throughout asia, with japan being one of the main countries.

it is possible that harry has heard a lot about jennie in japan, even having mutual friends, such as the model kiko mizuhara, who is always seen with blackpink members at events in the country and even follows all the girls on instagram, including jennie. it is worth remembering that before conquering the world, jennie is a fashion icon throughout asia since the beginning of her career.

remembering that in march, still the beginning of the year, he followed jennie on instagram.

harry in a dinner with kiko and jisoo & rosé with her in a fashion event.

sunflower, vol. 6

i think i am going to touch a sensitive spot by theorizing that this song might actually be about jennie, but i don't care! it's my theory, and believe it or not, she was to blame for my mistrust of a romance between this two.

in august 2019, jennie, together with lisa, jisoo and rosé, spent her vacation in honolulu, hawaii, where she posted a photo with the following caption:

Fine Line seems a lot to do with harry's whole relationship with camille rowe, but 'sunflower, vol. 6', analyzing the lyrics, is about meeting someone new, who is still not close enough and all that initial nervousness. it's not a serious thing, but a crush that makes you feel nervous and apprehensive, a person you really want to get to know more and get deeper into and it's one of those harry songs that the fandom isn't so sure of or plausible theories about what it might be.

the album was only released in december of 2019.

jennie in london.

in march 2020, almost 1 year after the first sign, jennie goes to london to work for the gentle monster eyewear brand. coincidentally, harry was also in town. on valentine's day, jennie went to dinner at a restaurant and posted one of the following photos:

i don't believe harry had it there, otherwise someone would probably have asked for a photo or taken one in secret, however, coincidence or not, he was mugged while walking down the street at the exactly same day.

in this interview for The Howard Stern Show, harry also reveal that he was single at the time. taking the opportunity to say that i don't believe they had any possibility of anything serious for several reasons, starting with their busy schedules and different continents.

in my theory, this was one of harry and jennie's last moments, even if they were just having fun and getting to know each other. some time later, harry started his relationship with olivia wilde and jennie entered into rumors of a possible one with g-dragon.

now, let's jump to 2022.

and stay for the song analysis!

Happy Reading Bingo month! In a weird turn of events, I'm crushing the reading part of this challenge and failing at the updating part of it, so I guess I'll go with monthly updates this summer. I'm a grand ten books into this (two ahead of my goal for the month), so I'm pretty excited! Predictably, my reading has been all over the map, but I've been tackling NetGalley and series books like I planned. The rereads and graphic novels were hands down my favorites this month. (I’ve also managed to hit zero bingos so far, so my anti-bingo super power is still in effect.)

Black Tide by K.C. Jones (published this year) There's probably no kind way of saying I really hated this. I was hoping for creepy water monsters and got discount aliens instead, plus a couple of main characters I fervently hoped would be eaten. 2/5 The Secret Place by Tana French (mystery/thriller) I'm absolutely in love with The Dublin Murder Squad and French's beautiful prose, but this wasn't one of my favorites in the series. Loved the characters, but the chapters in the past really dragged at the pace. 3/5 Lucky Girl, How I Became A Horror Writer: A Krampus Story by M. Rickert (holiday/season) This has no business being a novella or calling itself a Krampus story. There are the bones of two good stories here that never adequately come together or are fleshed out to any satisfaction. 3/5 The Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor (author of color) I should have stopped this series after the first book. For as much as I adored Binti, the rest is far too much science fiction and war story for me. 3/5 Winter Soldier: The Complete Collection by Ed Brubaker (graphic novel) The first section of this graphic novel is absolutely bonkers with killer gorillas and Doctor Doom being a total diva, but it gets better from there. Love the way Brubaker writes Bucky, and this is peak WinterWidow content. 4/5 How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff (debut novel) Did I mention I hate war stories? There was almost no chance I was going to like this, but the all-tell/no-show narration style really didn't work for me. Sweet bits of magical realism though. 2/5 Bone Gap by Laura Ruby (disability/mental illness) I read this about five years ago, but despite wanting more from it, the story really stuck with me. I loved it a lot more on a second read, and while I still find the villain underwhelming, it's a quiet, thoughtful, slightly magical tale with great main characters. 4/5 Wayward Witch by Zoraida Córdova (ownvoices) This was my least favorite of the Brooklyn Brujas series, but that's mostly due to an aversion to high fantasy worlds and faeries. It doesn't really stand out from others of its kind. 3/5 A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha (indie/small press) What the hell possessed me to request a historical fantasy? Here for the wlw romance. Not here for the strong religious themes and the idea that women need to forgive their abusers. 2/5 Runaways, Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home by Rainbow Rowell (has a cat in it) I didn't read the original Runaways series, but I loved this immediately. Bright, pretty art, fantastic cast of characters, and a deft hand at storytelling. Lots of cats that may or may not have psychic powers. 4/5

13th May (Old May Day): Harriet is rescued

Read the post and comment on WordPress

Read: Vol. 3, ch. 3; pp. 216–219 (from “This little explanation” to “figure in a message”).

Context

We know that this occurs “the next morning” after the Crown Inn ball.

May Day was celebrated on the first of May; Old May Day, which retained a previous date for the holiday, took place later, due to the switch from the Gregorian to the Julian calendar in England in 1752. Festivities on May Day, which celebrates the beginning of spring, include the crowning of a “Queen of May” and dancing around a May pole that has been decorated with flowers; see Chambers, pp. 570–82.

Jo Modert also notes that today is Friday the 13th. Friday and the number 13 were both considered unlucky at this time; however, I am unable to find evidence of a superstition regarding the combination of the two before the end of the 19th century (see Roud).

Note that this section and write-up contain language used to refer to Travellers that is today widely considered offensive. On issues of nomenclature see Trumpener (FN 3, pp. 846–7). The section “Led Into Alarm” contains discussion of sexual violence. The sections “The Stuff of Romance” and “To Build a Nation” contain spoilers.

Readings and Interpretations

The Stuff of Romance

This section details the famous incident in which Harriet is “assailed by half a dozen children, headed by a stout woman and a great boy,” from a visiting “party of gipsies” (p. 217). The conventional reading of this episode holds that Emma’s “imaginist” tendencies lead her to view Harriet’s (really harmless) adventure as something out of an eighteenth-century romance.1 For Paul Fry, the incident shows Emma at work as “a maker of romance-plots” who wants the tale to be “elaborated into a Romance of the fullest possible proportions” (p. 135):

Perhaps the most notable interpolation in the novel is the “story” of the gypsies. Staple picaroons and agents of mystery in Romance (where they are especially serviceable in plots of mysterious parentage, like Harriet’s), the gypsies trespass into Highbury to remind us that they do not belong there. Fittingly, it is their romance-counterpart, Frank Churchill, who routs them while on an errand of secrecy about which he is obliged, as always, to prevaricate. This for what it is worth is Emma’s Romance of the Forest […]. This interpolation is as compressed as possible and wholly unelaborated; Frank Churchill’s rescue of Harriet makes up “the amount of the whole story” [p. 218]. (p. 134)

Similarly, Jillian Heydt-Stevenson writes that the ostensible threat and the “love arising from precipitous rescue[]” comprise one “previous literary narrative[]” that Emma “pilfers” in trying to fit events to the logic of sentimental novels (2015, p. 158). For Elaine Bander, Emma violates the precepts of the picturesque imagination by turning this “small incident” into a “tale of heroic rescue” (2016, p. 26).

William Galperin similarly argues that the group was never actually a threat to Harriet due to the demands of the picturesque, a genre “which aestheticizes nature, restricting the real in either art or experience to a partial, regulated version of itself” (p. 20): thus the picturesque “aestheticization” of the “gypsies […] demands that they be vanquished by a hero” (p. 19). According to the “limits” of picturesque narrative, “it is completely unacceptable […] for gypsies to materialize in the flesh out of nowhere, especially in surroundings that are themselves picturesque” (p. 21). This improbability thus must be “tempered” into “the more ‘natural’ fantasy of marital union authored by Emma herself”; “Emma’s more ‘natural’ narrative” “contains” the “threat” that the nomadic group pose to the world of Emma by giving them a narrative function in furthering a naturalized marriage plot between Frank and Harriet. Her imagined plot “projects the gypsies’ instrumentality in a […] social hegemony that requires […] that the gypsies be taken seriously: both as the extraordinary ‘other’ that the community, like the picturesque, defines itself against; and as a potentially ordinary, and more subjugated, other that the community, like the picturesque, wards off by somehow containing or appropriating” (p. 21).2

In forming this romance plot, of course, Emma has missed another. Per Roger Gard, Emma’s plot causes her “to miss the actual exciting clue in the incident which is Frank’s visit to the Bates’s, lamely explained as the return of a ‘pair of scissars’” (p. 194). To boot, there is another romance plot “before her” (p. 216) of which Emma as yet knows nothing: Harriet’s “eyes were suddenly opened” only partly by Mr. Elton’s “evil feelings” (p. 216), the rest of the work presumably having been done by Mr. Knightley’s attention, a fact which will come back to vex Emma later.

To Build a Nation

Other critics place more emphasis on the status of the “trampers” (Emma p. 217) as a racial or ethnic ‘other,’ reading this incident as one that serves a national or nationalist function in emphasizing Harriet’s Englishness and racial purity against an ethnic out-group. Michael Kramp, for example, argues that “Austen’s use of the alien dark-skinned gypsies in juxtaposition to the native White woman allows the novelist to accentuate the Englishness of the latter by stressing the foreignness of the former” (p. 148):

Like other modern states, England had to generate its “Englishness” and its “native” citizens by racializing populations. […] Harriet’s encounter with the Romani allows Austen to illustrate how this citizen-building process helps solidify an English national identity. The novelist distinguishes the “Black” migratory gypsies from the White residents of Highbury, establishing an English race by separating it from an outside element; this created national race then effectively represents the “Englishness” that presumably defines its members. Harriet’s involvement in this scene, as a young, anonymous, and native member of this local community, highlights her importance as a national resource: she has the power to reproduce English culture and the English race, but she must be safeguarded from the nomadic lifestyle of the gypsies and schooled in the legacy and lore of her nation.

[...] Harriet appears as the anonymous and archetypal Anglo-Saxon female, complete with the traditional physical qualities [“a fine bloom,” “blue eyes,” and “light hair”] of the ostensibly ancient race of England. This initial sketch of the parlor boarder […] exposes an important similarity between the young White woman and the gypsies. Both are “natural;” neither Harriet nor the Romani have a definitive origin or social position, but the former’s Whiteness visually differentiates her from the latter’s swarthiness. Emma documents the efforts of Knightley and the heroine to uphold Harriet as a source of “natural” Whiteness, while the Romani become vilified as mysterious Black outsiders. Austen ambiguously depicts the Romani outside Highbury as “all clamorous, and impertinent in look, though not absolutely in word” (300). She stresses their shocking effect rather than their visual appearance; they represent a jarring and clear difference that recalls earlier historical treatments of the gypsy race. (pp. 150–1)

Similarly, Deborah Nord writes that Austen draws upon contemporary racial literary tropes in “us[ing] the gypsy scene in Emma to suggest the cultural borders not only of provincial community but of femininity” (p. 193):

Harriet, the fair, blue-eyed ingenue Emma has chosen as a suitable lover for Frank Churchill, returns from her ordeal leaning on Churchill’s arm, looking pale and shaken, and faints. Her subsequent account of meeting with a party of “clamorous” gypsies (in reality a group of children) while walking with a friend on the Richmond Road soon circulates throughout the town as a drama of terror to be savored and retold. For Emma, of course, this appears as a drama of romance and chivalry […].

Austen seems to be commenting on the insularity of Emma’s world, a world in which stories of danger and romance result from the mildest contact with figures whose meanings themselves derive from story and myth. Emma is not, of course, alone in inventing “imaginist” readings of Harriet’s brush with thievery and worse. The community of Highbury, shuddering with a frisson of “happiness” in contemplating the “frightful news,” is both geographically and imaginatively defined by the incident and its response to it [p. 219]. But the episode also touches obliquely on the triangle of Harriet, Frank, and Jane because of the gypsy’s literary associations with the plot of murky origins and the rivalry between fair and dark heroines. (pp. 193–4)3

Led Into Alarm

Nord’s reference to “Harriet’s brush with thievery and worse” refers to a strand of physical threat that some critics identify in the description of Harriet’s adventure. Frances L. Restuccia argues that the text dramatises a phobia of “impending rape” (the phrase is Nancy Armstrong’s) with Harriet’s attack: “Harriet is terrified, which may also seem excessive unless one realizes that at some level she, and the text, are worried about the ‘great boy’ turning her into ‘a stout woman’” (1994, p. 458).

Similarly, Wendy S. Jones writes that “[t]he threat of rape is the unspoken danger here, a threat conveyed by the image of the purse, associated with female genitalia, and by the sinister description of the gypsies as a ‘gang demanding more.’ This ‘more’ could be interpreted as more money, but also as more than money” (2008, p. 326). Celia Easton writes:

Jane Austen echoes some of the common mythology of Romani people believed in the eighteenth-century and lingering in some perceptions today: that transient bands of outsiders disturbed the social order, often with criminal malice. Harriet’s response to the group of children, a “stout woman,” and a “great boy,” however, is not the fear of losing her purse. Harriet has felt cramps from dancing, so unlike her walking companion, Miss Bickerton, she cannot run away. Her reaction is more like a rape victim: she is “absolutely powerless.” She views the group as “assailing” her. She begs them “not to want more [money], or to use her ill” (360-61). When Frank Churchill happens upon the scene, Harriet Smith “cling[s]” to him with the intensity of Harriet Byron clinging to her rescuer, Charles Grandison. Indeed, Emma herself, in hearing the story, turns it into a romance narrative […]. (n.p.)

Of course, the view that the scene contains language that hints at the threat of sexual assault, and the view that the novel does not see the “band” as a genuine threat, are not mutually exclusive. Easton notes that Emma, the “rationalist,” does not take the threat seriously, and that in fact the literary strategy of Emma does not permit a threat of rape to be genuine: rather, it is “the language of such violence [that] creates a good part of the tension of this novel” (ibid., emphasis mine).

Claudia Johnson, however, unlike the critics whose views are above detailed, sees this incident as highlighting a “real problem” that besets the unmarried gentlewomen in Emma:

Emma is set into motion by the distinctively feminine boredom Emma suffers after Miss Taylor’s departure. The merest “half a mile” [vol. 1, ch. 1; p. 2] between Hartfield and Randalls spans an impossibly huge chasm […]. Having “ventured once alone” to Randalls, Emma deems it “not pleasant” [vol. 1, ch. 4; p. 15] for “solitary female walking” [vol. 1, ch. 2; p. 10], and the incidence of gypsy assaults upon unprotected schoolgirls proves her uneasiness to be more than an excess of delicacy. By showing how a matter as simple as getting from one nearby house to another to see a dear friend is for Emma almost prohibitively complicated, Emma tactfully shows conditions which make even “the best blessings of existence” [vol. 1, ch. 1; p. 2] moot. (p. 139)

Footnotes

“Romance” here does not mean “romantic” in the modern sense of romantic love or eros, but is a genre of book that makes frequent use of the improbable and fantastical and is commonly contrasted with the more realist “novel.”

Galperin’s argument is not that Austen thereby accords with the standards of the picturesque, but that she stretches them: “Austen’s familiarity with the picturesque […] provoked her not only to a different kind of realism [than the “partial” kind mandated by the picturesque], but to a realism directed to a weakening or transformation of the very standards of probability […] which picturesque theory and realistic practice so-called alternately inculcate and uphold” (pp. 20–1). On Emma’s Frank/Harriet plot as literary see also McMaster (pp. 33–4).

On the representation of Romani in nineteenth-century English literature see also Trumpener (on Emma pp. 867–9); Yahav-Brown; Mohammad (on Emma pp. 655–61).

Discussion Questions

What literary, psychological, and racial or ideological role does Harriet’s misadventure play in the narrative of Emma? Do contemporary (that is, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century) depictions and ideas of Rroma and other nomadic groups have any relevance in analyzing this episode?

Do you think that this scene was intended to carry an undertone of sexual danger?

Does this incident prove that “solitary female walking” is actually dangerous in the world of Emma?
