Jane. Isn't Austin just romance? Those protagonists have been thinking about how to get married all day long. What's so fun about this? The theme of love and marriage feels so tacky, trite, and outdated. You can know the story by watching the movie version, and there are also handsome men and beautiful women to watch.
Alas, marital events are just an entry point. Austin is a master of satire with no swear words. You can see how she exposes people's hypocrisy and petty evils, that's amazing! No matter how you shoot the movie version, there is no way to put all those wonderful dialogues in! You have to read a book to see it.
