Hi so Besides Lizzie and Darcy obviously, do you have any other favorite characters from P&P?

Well hello and I'm so excited to get asks about Elizabeth & Darcy and P&P!

I have a soft spot for Charlotte. I think that given her personality (and I've read in some articles that she could be read as either a lesbian or ace), she made a sensible decision in marrying Mr. Collins. Idiot though he is, in many ways, I like Jane's assessment that he's not a vicious man, just moronic. I never like the fanfics where he's made physically violent. He puts his foot in his mouth and is awkward AF but not violent or abusive.

I like Mr Bennet to an extent. I like his humor in some ways but he's also cruel to his wife and some of his daughters. His negligence is what leads to some of the events in the book. Good humor, flawed father and husband.

I also have a soft spot for Mary and Kitty. They're the quintessential middle sisters. They're not as pretty as Jane, sassy as Lizzy, or forward as Lydia. Mary tries to stand out with music and quotes - afraid to have her own personality, and Kitty tries to stand out by being like Lydia. I can relate, as a middle child.

Thanks for the ask! (and feel free to send asks about my P&P fic)

Jane Austen associating the word "rational" with women over six books:

Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart. - Elizabeth Bennet, Pride & Prejudice

“But I hate to hear you talking so like a fine gentleman, and as if women were all fine ladies, instead of rational creatures. We none of us expect to be in smooth water all our days.” - Mrs. Croft, Persuasion

She dearly loved her father, but he was no companion for her. He could not meet her in conversation, rational or playful. - Emma Woodhouse, Emma

“Oh! never, never, never! he never will succeed with me.” And she spoke with a warmth which quite astonished Edmund, and which she blushed at the recollection of herself, when she saw his look, and heard him reply, “Never! Fanny!—so very determined and positive! This is not like yourself, your rational self.” Fanny Price, Mansfield Park (we know that this is very much her rational self, also after a marriage proposal)

Elinor agreed to it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition. -Elinor Dashwood, Sense & Sensibility

You talked of expected horrors in London—and instead of instantly conceiving, as any rational creature would have done, that such words could relate only to a circulating library, - Henry Tilney, teasing his sister, Northanger Abbey

#rational creatures #jane austen #meta posts require so many tags.... #northanger abbey #mansfield park #sense and sensibility #pride and prejudice #emma #persuasion #women want and require rational conversation #the NA quote isn't the best #but in the context it's clear that Henry is lovingly teasing his sister #Mrs. Croft being the best #I need Elizabeth Bennet to slap Edmund and tell him women are rational creatures #please?

Keith vs. Brom

I love comparing Keith and Brom because on the very first glance they seem like Gabe playing the same character (dumb jock, incompetent but filled with undeserved confidence, regressed to/stuck in ye olde' glory days while hung up on an ex-girlfriend, ironically "woke" dialogue, I could go on) but the moment you dig past the surface, they're actually opposites.

Keith, bless him, is just unfiltered id. Everything he says or does goes back to an agenda simply labeled "Keith." Even the feminist talk is just about sucking up to Gwen or sounding like a good guy. Insecurity, social alienation, childhood success, and that fame's immediate end after Cluebert's brutal murder have left him broken, shallow, and likely too stuck in the past to ever meaningfully change. He craves the love of Gwen and the rest of the Solve-It Squad in a life otherwise so empty and devoid of meaningful connection.

But Brom, for all his shortcomings, genuinely wants to do good for its own sake. He might not understand all the intricacies of social justice, but he goes for it anyway because he knows it's right. When Matilda calls him out, he listens and successfully corrects himself so as to be a better man for those around him. He starts out as the self-absorbed "leader" he'd been socialized to be, but only really starts to shine and meaningfully lead (see his scenes with Judy and the Bards in the finale) when given the chance to truly make things about someone else (whether Matilda or Ichabod) for a change. Brom is in constant growth and motion, powered by a genuinely huge heart. He wants to love because he has so much love to give away to the people in his life.

(Also Brom might have almost drowned in a waterbed once, but I think he'd still kick Keith's ass.)

#love them both #For my fellow trekkies out there: Keith is like a mirror-verse Brom #another similarity: they both constantly hang out with Joey Richter while thinking they're in love with a Bennet sister #gabe greenspan #keith swanson #brom bones #headless: a sleepy hollow story #the solve it squad #solve it squad #the solve it squad back in biz #shipwrecked comedy #tin can bros #rewatchers2000

Realistically we can’t all be Lizzie Bennet, so tell me which Bennet sister actually matches your personality? Kitty would be me I think.

if i see another shitty take about how Lydia Bennet 'deserved' being victimized by a serial sexual predator, for the crime of teenage girl

i will fight them in a dennys parking lot at 3 am

and then actually get around to finishing writing my georgiana/lydia fic that kills off wickham in the first sentence

#lydia bennet #i keep trying to outline it #instead of writing any of it #but then not doing either thing #also fuck misogynistic jane austen fans #jane austen #i do have that first sentence and a few other scattered scenes tho #tl:dr he dies lydia goes to mooch off her richest sister and oh who's this

Today in bad P&P takes: “If Darcy is misunderstood, then who is the Pride in the title about?”

This is bad on a lot of levels, but quickly:

1) Elizabeth is also very proud and her character arc, which is more central to the novel than Darcy’s, largely revolves around her own pride. Meanwhile, Darcy is obviously prejudiced, too.

2) Darcy being misunderstood does not prevent him from being proud.

3) The title is very probably a reference to Frances Burney’s Cecilia, a novel Austen approvingly references in NA. In Burney’s novel, pride and prejudice are described as both the source and solution of the story’s problems, which allows for a much more interesting operating concept than Pride = Darcy and Prejudice = Elizabeth.

4) It wasn’t Austen’s first choice of a title anyway.

5) None of this really matters, because Austen’s Darcy is misunderstood beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt. 

Elizabeth thinks Darcy is a depraved human being who, despite being richer than the average lord, ruined the career of his father’s beloved godson with whom he had been brought up from birth, who had no other source of support than Darcy’s family, all because Darcy had been jealous since forever that his dad liked Wickham better.

In reality, Wickham is the depraved one (in general), and in this particular case, voluntarily changed careers and was substantially recompensed by Darcy. Wickham tried to change back again after running through all the money, pitched a tantrum when Darcy didn’t fund his terrible habits further, nourished his absurd grudge, then tracked down and preyed upon Darcy’s fifteen-year-old sister—both Darcy and Wickham are nearly 30—in order to marry her, take her money, and revenge himself on Darcy. That failed, and then when Wickham’s and Darcy’s paths crossed again, Wickham spread lies about their history together to gain sympathy and smear Darcy’s reputation in the community.

Elizabeth 100% buys into this, despite having some pretty good reasons to doubt Wickham, because he flattered her pride after Darcy injured it and is angelically pretty. After discovering the truth, she says that up to this point, she has “courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either [Darcy or Wickham] were concerned,” and that the revelation is a just humiliation, particularly given her habitual disdain for Jane’s generous optimism.

So Darcy absolutely is misunderstood—this is explicit and unambiguous. It’s easy to say “well, apart from the Wickham thing,” but that’s nonsensical; the Wickham subplot is not an afterthought, it’s essential to Elizabeth’s characterization and her growth as a person. She was not wholly wrong about Darcy (he is truly haughty and snobbish!), but her concept of his basic moral character was way, way off specifically because of her pride. P&P isn’t Pride = Darcy, Prejudice = Elizabeth, or vice-versa; both qualities feed into each other in both characters (and also in other members of the cast).

#i think people often understate just how bad a human being elizabeth believed darcy was #or treat it as being off in a few particulars but basically right and like... no #she thinks he should be exposed as a monster and ideally prosecuted #in a case where he and his sister are among the real victims #this is a very big deal honestly; darcy describes his supposed actions as 'a depravity' 'in defiance of honour and humanity' #he would be monstrous if he had actually done what she believes he did and it's like... oh but he's not misunderstood bc he's proud #???????????????? #anghraine rants #austen fanwank #austen blogging #lady anne blogging #fitzwilliam darcy #elizabeth bennet #elizabeth bennet critical #(i do actually love elizabeth but i do not love y'all's two-dimensionally righteous generic feisty girl) #('i never knew myself' is more critical to the overall novel than anything darcy says or does at any point) #long post
