Emma
Mansfield Manor
Northanger Abbey Intellectual and Emotional Pride and Prejudice Persuasion Six books make up the life of Jane Austen
. It is a pity that I have only read the last two books, which can be regarded as relatively mature works in the late period. When I watched Becoming Jane, I found that this woman was writing a book based on herself. It was true and false, false and true. It was not sad, but it was definitely not festive. Can the two worlds really be separated? Is it the human life that brews the novel, or is the novel brewing the human life? Prudie was at the end of the crosswalk, wondering what Jane would do. Pulling herself back from the brink of losing control, what she wanted to persuade was actually herself. Too deep into the play. Grigg seems to be one of the most spectators. Will not stubbornly act according to the book, free and easy. No rules, no fear. I like this authentic self. Is not general incivility the very essence of love? Maybe not.

The Jane Austen Book Club quotes

  • Grigg Harris: What about me? Am I your friend? Or am I just some... some widget to help you make Sylvia feel better about herself? Why did you invite me to be part of your book club? No, what went through your mind the first time you saw me? "There's a man who is *dying* to read every book Jane Austen ever wrote." Is that what you thought?

    Jocelyn: No.

    Grigg Harris: But I thought, "What a beautiful woman. I hope she looks over at me." I thought if I read your favorite books that you would read mine. But no... no, no. You just want to be obeyed. That's why you have dogs.

  • Prudie Drummond: I'm in love with one of my students. I mean, nothing's happened, much. It could if I let it... I fantasize about him constantly.

    Bernadette: Sweetie, your mother died. This is grief.

    Prudie Drummond: He looks at me like he's the spoon, and I'm this dish of ice cream.
