“Elástica”, give you 6 reasons why you should let your Pride and Prejudice and started reading Jane Austen.
I am quite sure that you find people who say they have no interest in reading Jane Austen books. Well, the Brazilian site, "Elástica", give you 6 reasons why you should let your pride and prejudice and started reading Jane Austen.
1-
She chaffed
the bourgeoisie since the 19th century;
Back then, the bourgeoisie did not
ask for military intervention, but made it clear his preconception related to
social class. Austen used irony and humor to describe the behavior of the elite
of the time and class conflict in a conservative society.
2-
Your women
characters may be considered advanced of her time;
First we need to remember that Jane
Austen was born in the 18th century, in which the woman had no right not to
inherit his father's estate. Despite the books always revolve around the
marriage, the writer of the heroines are represented at the same level as men.
In the book Pride Prejudice (1813),
the protagonist Elizabeth Bennet is independent and has shown a behavior
considered inappropriate for a girl of that age. Elizabeth also makes it clear
that never will marry only for money and is represented on the same
intellectual level as Mr. Darcy. The woman placing the question in society is
repeated in other novels, more openly even in Emma (1815).
3-
Authors
like JK Rowling were inspired by her;
If you love Harry Potter and JK
Rowling, know that Britain has admitted many times that his favorite writer is
Jane Austen.
4-
One of her
novels has marks of Gothic literature;
Jane Austen used the references of
gothic settings, like medieval castles, ruins and churches in the novel the
Northenger Abbey (1818).
5-
She is on
the list from "The Guardian" of the 100 best novels written in
English;
6-
You will
probably identify with one character.
Austen characterizes well the feelings and fears of
the characters. Just open a book to recognize the rights and wrongs of some of
them.
