#Jane Austen's Emma

[marshmelonlover]

I think my absolute favourite thing about Jane Austen's Emma is that it's a love story about two best friends. They've known each other for two decades, so they know the other inside and out. And they fall in love with each other. Despite the fact that Emma meddles in others' lives and that Mr Knightley scolds her for it, they fall in love. And they don't just fall in love with the other's positive attributes, but their negative ones too. They love every part of the other, and that's beautiful.

A single white strawberry flower blooms at the top of the painting. Overlaid are the words "Synchronous Emma: Jane Austen's Emma in real time. A talk with the Jane Austen Society of Aotearoa." end ID.]

Save the date! I'll be giving an online talk and taking questions about the Synchronous Emma project with the Jane Austen Society of Aotearoa / New Zealand on 24th March, 6 P.M. EDT / 10 P.M. GMT / 25th March, 11 A.M. NZDT.

You can reserve your free spot here.

Jane Austen is known to have written to a calendar, carefully developing her plots over the cycle of seasons and using the lived experience of daily time to add texture to her works. Synchronous Emma is a project that asks what happens if we read to that calendar. How would stretches of uneventful time, in which a sentence occurs over the course of months, differ from days to which entire chapters are given over? What insights arise from a style of reading that privileges 'in-book' time over what readers usually consider—namely, the amount of time that something will take to read? This talk will address the insights—as well as the problems—that potentially arise from this kind of "slow reading."

I think the main reason why I love Jane Austen so much is because she knew exactly what women want.... And then wrote about it!

emma 2020 truly is such a fantastic adaptation of the novel

#i was hesitant when i first watched it #but then i read the novel #and i just finished listening to the audiobook (well nearly) #and god it is such a perfect characterization #of jane austen's humor and what i think she wanted to capture in Emma #emma 2020 #jane austen #emma #jane austen's emma #im not saying anything new #kaywatches

One Dress a Week Challenge

June: Grey

Emma (1972) / Doran Godwin as Emma Woodhouse

I find this winter outfit very charming. I'm not sure whether the shoulder cape is part of the pelisse or a separate garment; I suspect the latter, since it matches the muff. Emma does look like a visitor from another, more elegant world in Harriet's room!

do you ever think about how darcy's perspective of the visit to rosings is just... a completely wild time. so like. he and his favourite cousin goes to visit with his weird aunt, and ends up running into this hot girl, that he's really kinda increasingly into? she's staying in the area for a while with her bestie. so like. he was expecting a boring social obligation visit & getting pressure into marrying his other, less favourite cousin. instead, he watches the hot girl hold her own with his aunt in conversation. she banters with him over the pianoforte and they have a Moment™. he keeps going over to the house she's staying at, just to awkwardly chill there, even though he doesn't like the other people there. has a whole conversation with her about how she wouldn't mind living far away from family, as long as she could afford the travel. he extends his visit so he can keep seeing her. when he runs into her on a walk, she makes a point of detailing the exact route she prefers to take while out walking, clearly encouraging him to join her, so he does. he has a really nice time on these walks, they spend a lot of time in companionable silence, but he manages to flirt a little by implying some stuff about the future & what their married life could be like, and they have some conversations about that. and sure, she has some family baggage, but none of them are around so it's a lot easier to ignore, y'know? so eventually he just can't take it anymore, and he shoots his shot. she clearly values honesty so he explains his scruples as well, but he thinks she's been dropping some favourable signals, so he's got a good chance, right?

and then not only she turns him down she ROASTS THE FUCK OUT OF HIM. she insults him. she insults his honour as a gentleman. she flips the fuck out about... oh yeah crap the sister thing, turns out his cousin blabbed, and then I'M SORRY YOU SAID WHAT? ABOUT WICKHAM? THIS IS ABOUT FUCKING WICKHAM, MY FUCKING NEMESIS? HE FUCKING SAID WHAT ABOUT.... OH MY GOD. oh fuck. I've fucked up so badly I need to reevaluate my entire life & risk sending a letter to an unmarried woman who hates my guts, just so i can explain shit. fuck.

#jane austen #like #pride & prejudice #adaptations really downplay how much darcy was genuinely flirting with elizabeth for like half the time #and she was just. clueless #wait no that's emma #she was not perceptive #but they’re well suited because darcy? #also not perceptive #(shhh it’s the Autism)

Jane Austen heroines exist on a sliding scale of "You are always right, and no one ever listens to you" (Fanny Price) to "You are never right, and everyone always listens to you" (Emma Woodhouse.)
