These aren't all the trials, but it includes most of them! Choose wisely.

Inspired by this poll, but this time no reward, you just have to suffer!

Often I choose my favorite Austen heroine-of-the-moment or next book to re-read based on my mood. What am I lacking in real life at the moment. Who am I most like and want to see myself? Who do I most admire or enjoy? Who makes me feel the most?

Sometimes you want the heroine who would cheer you up and that’s a good friend when you are sad. This could be Lizzy, Jane, Anne, or Elinor. They are all sympathetic listeners and encouragers. Three of them have very funny internal observations that are sure to cheer you. Even Catherine and Fanny could be good in this role as long as it’s not too out of their comfort zone and experience.

Sometimes you want the heroine thats’s your ride or die, and it’s most definitely Marianne. Elizabeth is a close second for willing to light someone up over a snub.

Sometimes you just want the heroine to make the hard decisions for you, and that’s when Emma shines. Just maybe use your own judgment too. But also she is hilariously stubborn. There is something about her that I’m sure everyone can relate to in her imperfections yet inherently good nature.

Sometimes you just want the Austen heroine who gives the best burns so you need Elizabeth or Elinor if she’s willing to share her wit.

And sometimes you want someone to wax poetic with or to you. Fanny is definitely up for the task as well as Anne and Marianne. They have some very beautiful thoughts and speeches about nature and humanity.

And sometimes it isn’t even the heroine that draws me. I love to see Lady Susan spin her web. She’s so devious and the funny thing is people know it and still fall for it. Mary Crawford makes me laugh because she’s just so honest and I wish better for her. Fanny and John Dashwood believe themselves to be good, honest people. Mrs Jennings makes me laugh probably more than any other Austen character and she has such a sweet heart under all that matchmaking and teasing and nosiness. And the Musgroves and Harvilles feel like home. It’s always wonderful to visit.

It’s interesting that “heroine enters the world of Pride and Prejudice or interacts with its characters somehow” has become a genre in and of itself, and yet you don’t really see this for any other Austen novel. Where is my story where the heroine (or hero perhaps) gets magicked into Mansfield Park and starts defending Fanny???

#you could have a heroine befriending Fanny and helping her find a better situation #or a hero that falls in love with her in a somewhat similar way to Henry Crawford but much less selfishly #elly's posts #jane austen #mansfield park

What I love about Northanger Abbey is that all of her other heroines had Something: Elinor was sensible, she was a great counselor, Marianne is passionate with talent in music and in the arts, Elizabeth is witty, has great humor and is strong-willed, Fanny is sweet, almost too good and giving to a fault, Emma is pretty, rich, her most unique heroine in that she purposely made her difficult to like, Anne is keenly observant, prides herself on how she improves her mind, is reliant

Meanwhile Jane wrote Catherine and was like she is literally just some girl there is absolutely nothing special about her and i think that's lovely

EMMA, JANE AUSTEN I will promise to call you once by your Christian name. I do not say when, but perhaps you may guess where;—in the building in which N. takes M. for better, for worse.

#i tried to stick to the vibe of the book and i KNOW the first gif is obviously inaccurate #but at the same time #can you name a literary heroine more likely to wear that lingerie than emma woodhouse? #emma bovary would want to #but emma woodhouse can actually afford it 💅🏻 #emma #jane austen #literature #bookedit #*

"He rose from his seat, and walked to the window, apparently from not knowing what to do; took up a pair of scissors that lay there, and while spoiling both them and their sheath by cutting the latter to pieces as he spoke," - Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

#jane austen #literature #sense and sensibility #edward is so awkward just the MOST awkward love interest #elinor fell in love with a total nerd who is shy and nonconfrontational #and she LOOOVES him #austen ran the gamut of heroines and love interests its so great

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands.

And of course..... our dear Lizzie Bennet.

In the 2005 movie Elizabeth is costumed/portrayed as the "tom boy" of the siblings and wears a dress that isn't too dissimilar to this style, which is based on 1790s portraiture. But now with more period accurate hair. The classics were back in style so piles of curls with fabric, crown, and headband ties were popular from about this time through the next decade at least.

regency-set (or indeed any) period drama be like:

every other character: * more or less accurately dressed; at least the main aspects of historical costume are preserved in outfits and hairstyless *

the main heroine: * loose hair, vamp make, prom dress / male suit *

the filmmakers: You simply don’t get it; she’s a nonconforming free-spirit. She’s modern, you know? We wanted to give her a personality what

#and it's not only about the dress #unfortunately it's also too often about the character #to tell the truthe we are very lucky if we really get a glimpse of historical costume even somewhere in the background #it is only a mh for whom the worst costumes decisions are firmly reserved #ah side curls! it's decidedly for the boring fools in the sidelines #the advanced heroines don't wear it like that (derogatory) #period drama #period dramas #book adaptations #regency #regency era #jane austen #wardrobe #costume drama #persuasion 2022 #persuasion netflix #netflix persuasion #txt
