The Austenian Confession

The art is not so much in the climactic moment of truth as in the building of an exquisitely delicate and elaborate scaffolding of indirect character interactions that assuredly leads up to a declaration of love. Austen, the genius of social observation and emotional subtlety that threads through her very interactions, layers it into the narrative, so that when and Austen confession arrives, it does feel both inevitable and profound.

Austen's confessions are never straightforwardly that of revealing a secret or of love; there is a great point of culmination in them, a great crescendo of many small exchanges, looks, instances, which, taken singly, would indeed seem trivial, but here they burst in their meaning in the context of the novel. Such indirect moments of interaction would be the platform on which Austen builds the emotional weight, sustaining for the confession. That mechanism has given Austen the ability to delve into the subtleties of her personages' feelings and their interrelations in the manner that comes off as really realistic.

I mean, LOOK at Persuasion. The quiet constancy of Anne Elliot, and the long-felt dislike of Captain Wentworth, now and then making as striking a comment on the canvas of lounging glances and overheard discourses. Plotted through years of separation and silent longing, the climax of their story comes with Wentworth's letter: a confession of love that will always last, now stronger for the time lost, and the words left unspoken between them. Therefore, this letter—culminating in so many delicate, intelligent, passionate, and classically Austenian moments that Wentworth's voice in it has been called one of Austen's masterstrokes—allows the author to eavesdrop up close, through Austen's skill at creating moments of confession deeply tied to the character's emotional journey and the social context that formed it.

So we see how Austen crafts confessional moments—stolen, rising, tight—between characters that are as pivotal to the plot as they are deeply revealing of character, focusing on the gradual build of tension and understanding. These moments light up the social moral and norm of Austen's time; they seem to show how many of her characters were constrained and pressurized, yet also full of resourcefulness, wit, and a wealth of emotion.

Another thought on Netflix Persuasion...

Something that just occurred to me that I haven’t really seen anyone else bring up is that it’s kind of a big plot point that Anne has lost her bloom in Persuasion. But in this version, like did they do anything to Dakota Johnson to make her look like someone who has prematurely aged and been depressed for the last several years? It doesn’t even if feel like they’re trying to hit that plot point

28, 30 & 39??? 💖

28. what celebrity would you rate a PERFECT 10?

NONE — all celebrities are problematic and only a few handful aren’t and use their privilege to help others

30. if you had to dye your hair an unnatural color right now, what would you choose?

LOL I’ve once had purple hair so... maybe a neon red? Like it’s red but glows in the dark!

39. describe your aesthetic

LOL I mean it changes on mood.

Overall, dark colors baby (preferably black pls). Winged eyeliner. Nude dark lipstick. Renaissance or minimalism. Accents and tones - if we’re gonna incorporate color lol (cool tones unless it’s dark reds!!). film camera/grainy aesthetics. Museums, coffee shops and walks in the park. Road tripping on good days and exploring the city or forest on better days. Sketches and piano. Pencil for creativity and markers to prove a point.

Finally, the 3rd volume is out. This is the telling of Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth meeting, falling in love and breaking up. A Jane Austen's "Persuasion" prequel but most of all a "Complementary" prequel. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNTXSSR8?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

After P&P, I always consider Persuasion as my second preferred Jane Austen novel. And the 2007 film version with Sally Hawkins & Rupert Penry Jones remains the best live adaptation for me. It perfected the angst & soulful yearning that should be felt when you read the book~ ❤️✨
