“Che poi, alla lunga, se non c'è mai nessuno che faccia niente per te, impari a fare tutto da sola.

Ti aggiusti, anche.

Ti medichi, ti coccoli, ti sgridi e ti dici che andrà tutto bene anche se sai che non è vero.

Impari a bastarti, a darti tutto ciò di cui necessiti.

E questo è pericoloso - perché poi impari a non aver più bisogno di nessuno”.

The second of Jane Austen’s novels, first published in 1813, is the most often adapted, inspiring various different takes on it. The ones pictures above are detailed below:

Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)

This black and white film departs from the original novel in some (or should I say many?) points

Features 100 episodes in the International cut. The telenovela has been broadcast in other countries and languages (such as Spanish) but as far as I know, not in English.

Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta (2019 TV Film)

Starring Tiffany Hines as Elizabeth Bennet, Juan Antonio as Will Darcy, Raney Branch as Jane Bennet, Brad James as Charles Bingley, Reginae Carter as Lydia Bennet, Carl Anthony Payne as Rev. Collins, among others.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

NON AVERE FRETTA

🦋Non aver fretta, e non aver paura.

Scegli quello che ti sembra giusto, ma, ogni tanto, quando puoi, anche quello che ti fa felice.

🦋Se non ti vengono le parole, lascia che siano i tuoi occhi a parlare.

E impara a leggere gli occhi degli altri, impara a capire quel che non ti dicono.

🦋Ascolta il silenzio, fagli tutte le domande più scomode che ti vengono in mente.

Non lasciarti fermare dalla paura per fare le cose che devono essere fatte.

🦋Scappa quando devi, fermati quando puoi: c'è un momento per seminare e un momento per raccogliere - impara a distinguerli, impara ad assaporare entrambi.

🦋Ascolta il tuo corpo e rispettalo: riposati quando te lo chiede, mangia quando hai fame e ogni tanto ubriacati - di vino, di amore o di qualche sogno.

🦋Cammina da sola su una spiaggia o in mezzo ad un bosco, piangi se ne hai voglia - ma cerca sempre di ridere di più.

🦋Lascia correre ma non dimenticare: pretendi rispetto ma domandati se anche tu lo porti. Impara ciò che ogni botta ha da insegnarti ma non accettare le ingiustizie.

🦋E ricorda sempre che ciò che ti rende strana o diversa... non è necessariamente una debolezza.

Medical Monday: What was Catherine of Aragon’s real cause of death?

Catherine of Aragon, first wife of King Henry VIII- passed away at age 50 on January 7, 1536  while in exile following the divorce in 1533 at Kimbolton Castle. When news arrived to the court of the former queen’s passing- rumors spread she died due to poisoning- which was done in some way by Henry. How he acted after the news would almost prove he was guilty. He and his second wife, Anne Boleyn wore yellow- which its debated if it was a sign of mourning as it was believed yellow was the color of mourning in Spain, or if it was a sign of celebration. Henry would even cry “God be praised that we are free from all suspicion of war!” Now he and his new queen could be together in peace it seems. (Though we all know how long that lasted)

Eustace Chapyus- imperial ambassador would write in a letter to Charles V on January 9th- noticing that Catherine fell ill after consuming a welsh beer stated “[Her] illness began about five weeks ago… It was a pain in the stomach, so violent that she could retain no food.” After consulting her Physician, Miguel de la Sola- they both would draw the poisoning conclusion, writing “He said he was afraid it was so, for after she had drunk some Welsh beer she had been worse, and that it must have been a slow and subtle poison for he could not discover evidences of simple and pure poison; but on opening her, indications will be seen.”

But, actually- poison was not what caused the death of Catherine. Despite Henry’s harsh choice to celebrate his exes death, the more plausible cause of her death by historians was more believed to be cancer, specifically cancer of the heart or a melanotic sarcoma. A melanotic sarcoma is a malignant kind of tumor often affecting the pigmentation of cells. Which often makes the color of it very dark or even black.

Prior to burial, her body would be prepared by a servant (chandler) of the household, not a physician. Chapuys would chronicle the procedure to Charles in a January 21st letter by saying her internal organs were healthy, “except the heart, which was quite black and hideous”. As well as including “some black round thing which clung closely to the outside of the heart”, which is believed to be a secondary  melanotic sarcoma. The chandler even going as far as to cut the heart in half and attempting to wash off the black from the heart, but to no avail. Though, at the time- Cancer was not an understood cause, which is why the quick belief of poison was more accepted.

During her last days, it was reported she was very weak, had stomach pains and was unable to keep food down. When researching sarcoma symptoms; weight loss, abdominal pain, and fatigue would be found as main contributors.

Unfortunately given the centuries between Catherine’s passing and medical advances we are unable to concretely diagnose what she went dealt with in her final moments on this earth, but with the letters from Chapuys its gives us a glimpse of understanding as to what more likely happened to the once Queen of England.

Rewatch of the Mandalorian Chapter 21, the Pirate:

Don’t smack talk Greef’s fashion sense!

“He shot first” heheh

aww Greef is starting to get worried

Dammit Nevarro! Just when you were looking more than ever like Los Angeles with those little purple flower things and all the ficus trees!

Nevarran fashion is a lil… medieval? Fancy hats.

I need to download the song for the New Republic bar because it lowkey slaps

It’s this guy! Captain Teva! His casual outfit is pretty cool.

For everyone who has seen Rebels, I wish you a very happy Zeb

Dammit Coruscant. Why do you have a brutalist sector?

Oh THIS BITCH awwww NO Elia Kane you just need to not be here, dude

But Tim Meadows my beloved!!! I had no idea he was in this season! I enjoy his vexation

Elia Kane quit stalking people you freaking creep! I hate her, she’s so good at this.

Love her evil-ass music too. Stop being eeeevil

And then Solas the protocol droid led Greef Karga the Herald to a hidden castle in the wilderness after the fall of Haven/Nevarro — oh wait, no, my Dragon Age feels go over there

Seriously, the Nevarrans look like Catherine, Called B-Wing

… I don’t remember how Carson Teva knew that Din knew Greef, really, but he’s so likable I don’t mind

Who you calling “blue boy”, PAZ???

R5 vindication! And also getting back at Din ahahaha

I cannot help but adore the Mandalorian Talking Hammer, that is so perfect for them

“The foundling in your charge” fuck, Din, you should be saying “MY SON” you fucker

“I’m in no position to ask” he asked, Darksaberwieldingly

“Our children” WELL YOU’RE GETTING CLOSER ANYWAY

I really thought Paz was gonna go off and then he did and I was like “ho shit, Paz character development? All righty then!”

What stake did the Armorer have in this? She didn’t try to sway them one way or the other? Does she have an ulterior motive?

Grogu still comes for every mission, yesss

Love Bo’s speech! All right, while I miss Din tremendously this season, I’m loving the season of Bo on its own merits. Also, how weird is it to see the Armorer in a ship? it’s like when your companion NPC moves from their place on the map and you know a great cutscene is going to begin

Poor lil broken droid :( Mean pirates! And they fucked up the school again :(

It’s the Mandalorian - bitch you thought hahaha

I need more smug motherfucker Din back in my life, I beg you

Wish we had more weird accents among the Mandalorians. Bo’s is pretty Standard, Paz and the Armorer are weird and flat and formal, and Din has some of that as well. But like, if they’re a diaspora, I wanna hear some variation!

One of my favorite tropes is “noncombatant citizen nevertheless rises up to defend their homeland”, and Kowakian monkey-lizards pointing out an ambush was a cheesy lil slice of delight

Paz how are you seriously so LARGE

High Magistrate Greef Karga, you are so cute and I love you

I do really love how Nevarro has been a touchstone for the entire series, and love seeing how it’s evolved over the years. Things like that are some of my favorite things about this show.

The Armorer wishes to speak with you. Here, let me accompany you to this extremely tense and dangerous music, I’m sure everything will be fine

The Armorer is… getting emotional? Reminiscent about Mandalore? I’m scared and so intrigued!!!

The sassy and scary way she asked “Do you respect my station?” And her “Remove your helmet,,.” I am… alarmed and aroused

This music is so calculating! So very Luke, join me!

Wait, Paz isn’t in on this plan? Interesting, I had assumed he was in the Armorer’s pocket.

I am hopeful for Bo because I do think she’d be a great leader? But also frightened because who could trust the Armorer in that moment? (I mean, aside from Bo who 1) I’m sure respects Armorers and 2) doesn’t know her well and 3) is seeking a home… and this is how smart people can get sucked into cults!). It could go either way, I suppose. Are she and Din finally gonna have the epic duel? I can’t see Din’s heart being in it, and I also don’t want that to happen until he’s actually competent with the Darksaber and learns why it’s been fighting him. I just need Din, Din, Din!

But this episode has me much more intrigued and curious about where the season is going, so I’m excited for next week!

No esperes a que alguien te lleve a casa. No esperes a que alguien te invite a salir. Ve sola. Conoce gente. Mira esa película que te interesa. Prueba ese restaurante. Visita una ciudad que te intriga. o redescubre la tuya caminando. Fotografiala como si nunca la hubieras visto. No esperes a que alguien llegue a salvarte. Porque puede que nadie venga. ¿Sabes? Casi nunca pasa. Tienes que salvarte. Tienes que quererte. Tienes que mirarte desde afuera y preguntarte: ¿Qué haría yo por mí si fuera alguien que me ama?" Y hacerlo. Hacer oír tu voz. Aprender a pedir ayuda. Aprender a decir lo que está mal. Enfadarte también. Y sobre todo, aprender a ser tontamente feliz sin razón. Conoces esa felicidad idiota, inoxidable, esa especie de escudo brillante y estúpido en lo que todo rebota, que nos sale cuando estamos enamorados? Aquí tienes. No esperes a que alguien venga a dártelo. No tiene que dártelo. Es tuyo, Tú lo creas. Aprende cómo. Y hazte esta magia cada vez que la necesites." Catherine Black

Non aver fretta, e non aver paura.

Scegli quello che ti sembra giusto, ma, ogni tanto, quando puoi, anche quello che ti fa felice.

Se non ti vengono le parole, lascia che siano i tuoi occhi a parlare.

E impara a leggere gli occhi degli altri, impara a capire quel che non ti dicono.

Ascolta il silenzio, fagli tutte le domande più scomode che ti vengono in mente.

Non lasciarti fermare dalla paura per fare le cose che devono essere fatte.

Scappa quando devi, fermati quando puoi: c'è un momento per seminare e un momento per raccogliere - impara a distinguerli, impara ad assaporare entrambi.

Ascolta il tuo corpo e rispettalo: riposati quando te lo chiede, mangia quando hai fame e ogni tanto ubriacati - di vino, di amore o di qualche sogno.

Cammina da sola su una spiaggia o in mezzo ad un bosco, piangi se ne hai voglia - ma cerca sempre di ridere di più.

Lascia correre ma non dimenticare: pretendi rispetto ma domandati se anche tu lo porti. Impara ciò che ogni botta ha da insegnarti ma non accettare le ingiustizie.

E ricorda sempre che ciò che ti rende strana o diversa non è necessariamente una debolezza.

Che poi, alla lunga, se non c'è mai nessuno che faccia niente per te, impari a fare tutto da sola. Ti aggiusti, anche. Ti medichi, ti coccoli, ti sgridi e ti dici che andrà tutto bene anche se sai che non è vero. Impari a bastarti, a darti tutto ciò di cui necessiti. E questo è pericoloso... perché poi impari a non aver più bisogno di nessuno.
