When it comes to me, I am a polish person, I have read "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma" in polish and I am planning to read other books translated to my language as well. I have an official c1 certificate, but I am afraid that I won't be able to understand what the book says if I read in the original language since it's pretty old. If you stumble across this somehow, share your opinion as I said above :) I am very sleepy while writing all this, so I'm sorry if I wrote anything dumb...

did the writers know what the cast of persuasion is capable of???!! they are BRILLIANT actors and what did they do with them? they must have been so enthusiastic to get the opportunity to work in a classic film like this, which they completely deserve but what did they made them do??? act like a bunch of broke modern day millennials (not elliot ofc) who cannot, for the life of them, well, grow up! (in the lack of better words). there was not one mature or thoughtful character portrayed (completely opposite to how jane austen presented them in the books) and the sheer failure to present such great talent, for what?? to be tiktok/instagram validated????? this is just so unfair.

This meme draws a parallel between the character of Marianne from Sense and Sensibility and Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. The meme showcases Elle Woods in bed after being dumped by her long-term boyfriend, seemingly throwing something at a portrait of Willoughby.
This meme draws a perfect comparison between the reactions of both girls to their lovers, and being ignored/dumped. Having such a strong attachment to their former lovers, Marianne and Elle see their lives come crashing down after they are rejected. It showcases much about the characters specifically, along with social constructs at the time. They specifically share the character traits of sensibility, attachment, and a general a lack of self-love (initially, at least for Elle Woods). It causes them to both be smitten by lackluster men, that end up breaking their hearts and betraying them in various ways. It’s interesting that the role of women in relationships seems similar in this case. Austen is a traditionalist and writes about women in the 1700s. Legally Blonde is a movie from the 21st century, featuring modern constructs that represent progress and history. It’s interesting that such a stark and obvious parallel can be drawn with a modern, 21st century breakup scene. Although men and women both have equal reactions to relationships, this meme specifically showcases the role of women in this case and is interesting to see in the context of both, very different works.

this man, the only man I would write a book about. He is the epitome of prettiness, his face, him, he is sculpted like an art. Thank you Jane Austen, for creating this man.

not to post about persuasion again but i have so much to say.
one thing i really love about persuasion and that makes it feel so very true to life is Wentworth's bitterness towards Anne and his subsequent forgiveness. he's a flawed guy!!!
Wentworth loved someone, proposed to her and then found that she was not confident in her love for him and so rejected him out of fear and weakness. he put himself on the line for her and was essentially told by the woman he loved he isn't good enough.
of course I love Anne Elliot. she was vulnerable and pursued by someone older and wiser who she looked up to. and honestly Lady Russell isn't completely wrong. Wentworth was in the navy and just as likely to die and leave Anne a penniless widow as become a rich and respected captain.
but Wentworth's resentment towards Anne just serves to make him an equally flawed yet admirable character. his character arc involves him learning to forgive Anne for her actions when she was younger and allow himself to love her again, both for who she was when they were young but also for the older woman she is now. he has to recognise the changes in her and her new strength of character and resolve.
both Anne and Wentworth must admit to themselves where their faults are and change over the course of the novel, because if they don't they won't be able to confess their feelings to each other again.
Wentworth has to be a bigger person and let go of his very justified anger. he loved Anne and she broke his heart, but she's different now and he must admit to himself how he never truly stopped loving her and comparing all other women to her. he has to acknowledge the pain her mistakes caused her and forgive her, as otherwise he would never be able to get her back.
there's just something so beautiful about persuasion featuring two leads who carry very complicated feelings towards each other from their pasts having to reckon with that. they have to forgive each other and move past the very real hurt that was caused in order to have another chance at happiness
its something we can do! its a lesson! we can resolve to act as Anne and do and seek to improve ourselves, to move through the world with grace and forgiveness!
