she had reached the age of seventeen, without having seen one amiable youth who could call forth her sensibility, without having inspired one real passion, and without having excited even any admiration but what was very moderate and very transient. this was strange indeed! but strange things may be generally accounted for if their cause be fairly searched out. there was not one lord in the neighbourhood; no, not even a baronet. there was not one family among their acquaintance who had reared and supported a boy accidentally found at their door - not one young man whose origin was unknown. her father had no ward, and the squire of the parish no children.
but when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.

Beginning my Marple collection well. I thought this cover was so cool! My well loved copy of OASAG is currently being borrowed by my sister, (and she's a slow reader and it's not at my house) I wanted to read it and it was also 20% off so yeah. Plus Jane Austen playing cards which I haven't opened yet but I have heard they are beautiful so will post photos of them later.

This is a tiktok from 2021 of the “alors on danse” trend that was popular at the time. Creators would dance to a slowed version of the song “Alors On Danse” by Stromae and would often times include a bit of text describing something that the creator seems to be bragging about or praising in someway. In the tiktok shown above, the creator dances along to the song with a block of text references a line from Henry Tilney, which reads “when he says ‘the person, be they gentleman or lady, who has not the pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.’” Here, the creator presents Mr. Tilney’s favorable opinion towards novels as a sort of “flex” (as gen z would call it), suggesting that a man who thinks so highly of novels, and in turn, so poorly of people who don’t enjoy them, is something that is worth bragging about or showing off. The creator has also captioned the tiktok with "key to my heart," indicating that she would swoon over and fall in love with a man who says this.
Henry’s snide comment about people who don’t enjoy novels reminds me of Austen’s earlier commentary in chapter 5 in which she argues very defensively in favor of novels. This part was very striking to me upon reading it because authors usually don't interject within their novels to give such impassioned appeals about them, but given the ridicule aimed towards novels during Austen's time, it is understandable that our author would want to defend her craft. She points out how readers of novels, typically women, are usually dismissive of novels and ashamed of their interest in reading them despite the fact that novels tend to be rich with wit, humor, and knowledge. This makes me think about the reality in which women aren't really able to have interests without being mocked for them; society tends to treat women's interests and hobbies (makeup, fashion, etc.) as silly or frivolous when it doesn’t seem to really do this for men. In this sense, Austen's defense of novels could be considered an early feminist thought in a way; she argues that it is perfectly acceptable for women to enjoy something (in this case, novels) merely for the sake of enjoyment, something that men are so often entitled to do. Returning to Mr. Tilney and the tiktok above, I think it's funny that Austen decided to give the male love interest a piece of dialogue that directly supports her earlier argument about novels, adding to his appeal and swoonworthiness as a man who takes note of and supports the interests of women. It also contrasts with Mr. Thorpe's outward disdain towards novels that we see in chapter 7. In fact, as Mr. Thorpe is someone who evidently has not the pleasure in a good novel, Mr. Tilney would consider him intolerably stupid. By giving Mr. Tilney and Mr. Thorpe opposing opinions on novels, Austen is subtly, yet not so subtly, telling us (apart from all of the other times that she has shown us) who the better man for Catherine is; not only is Mr. Tilney more compatible with Catherine in terms of their mutual interest in novels, but he is also a better match for her in the sense in the sense that he would not ridicule her for simply enjoying something (something that Mr. Thorpe would probably do).

This week's find is an edit of 2007 Northanger Abbey movie to the song Seven by Taylor Swift. The TikTok shows different clips of Catherine, Henry Tilney, and General Tilney as the lyrics run along the bottom of the screen in a stylized white font. Edits, generally, can be a range of things, but in my research are typically videos in which footage from a movie, TV show, or celebrity is cropped and rearranged to align with a chosen song. Taylor Swift songs themselves are becoming increasingly popular in mainstream media, but have been popular for quite a while in the #booktok and fandom scene on TikTok and Youtube. This song in particular, Seven, can be found in edits for everything from Harry Potter to Five Nights at Freddy’s. Typically, it is used to highlight an unhappy home life with the phrase “your house is haunted” and an escape from that home life with another character in a platonic or romantic relationship with the phrase “I think you should come live with me”.
For Northanger Abbey in particular, I think this song was an interesting choice. With the first line, “I think your house is haunted,” over a clip where Catherine is talking to Henry Tilney followed by a clip of Catherine walking through what I assume is Northanger Abbey (side note: I have not watched the movie, but I did some IMDB sleuthing), it sets up Henry as the “your” in this song and thus the idea of Henry Tilney’s house being haunted. This brings us back to the idea we discussed in class of Jane Austen flipping the tone of the novel from a story about a naive girl on vacation to one of a gothic novel as Catherine arrives at Northanger Abbey. Northanger Abbey is described in a large amount of detail as Catherine tours it, but also in how Catherine sees it at night and daydreams about it. Northanger Abbey, in this way, builds up to this sort of scary haunted house in the mind of Catherine. Following this line is, “your dad is always mad and that must be why,” with a clip of General Tilney storming around a corner. In most edits, the creators use mad in a sense that I usually think of it, as being angry, which I think applies to how the General looks in the scene. However, while I was considering this edit, it seems like maybe there’s a double meaning here. As Catherine builds up this haunted house in her mind, she becomes convinced that General Tilney murdered his wife. She starts to obsess over all of his actions, turning what could be construed as pretty typical behaviors to evidence that he must be coping with murdering his wife. Mad, aside from meaning angry, can also mean crazy, something that could probably be used to describe someone who’s murdered his wife. I don’t often think about this meaning of the word “mad” but I think it’s a really interesting application here, whether the creator meant to use it in both of its meanings or not. After this is the line, “I think you should come live with me.” This follows with more scenes of Catherine and Henry Tilney together (side note 2: my best guess based on the emotions of the recurring scene shown of Catherine and Henry talking is that it is when Catherine tells Henry she thinks his father murdered his mother, I could be very off here because I haven’t finished the book, but I wanted to put an official guess out there for when I do watch the movie). As I have not finished the book, I can only really hazard a guess based on previous edits I’ve watched, but I think the general meaning of the rest of the video is to (hopefully) convey how Catherine and Henry find happiness in being together despite the sort of haunted sadness permeating Henry Tilney’s home.
And for some added enjoyment, here is some other Northanger Abbey media I found that made me giggle and I would analyze given more time:
