You know what era of romcoms I miss? It's the early 2000s teen romcoms that were based on classic literature. They were some of my favorite ones, and yeah, some were loosley based, but they still hit those important bases, and they were so much fun.

We had:

Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew - 10 Things I Hate About You

Shakespeare's 12th Night - She's the Man

Snow White - Sydney White

Cinderella - A Cinderella Story, What a Girl Wants

Little Mermaid - Aquamarine

Jane Austen's Emma - Clueless

The Scarlett Letter - Easy A

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - Warm Bodies

Shakespeare's Midnight Summer's Dream - Get Over It

Pygmalion - She's All That

Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor - John Tucker Must Die

Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility - Material Girls

I might be missing some, but I remember just having fun with these. One of my English teachers also showed us a few of these movies while studying Shakespeare to show how pieces of literature can change over the years and inspire other's own takes.

A list of Jane Austen quotes and things I want to embroider on jumpers/tshirts:

Barely tolerable

Most ardently

Most excellent boiled potatoes

So very agreeable

Accomplished young lady

Irrational creature

Half agony, half hope

What are men to rocks and mountains?

Too good, too excellent creature!

Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort

Intolerably stupid.

#I might get started on one now but which one?#I have an entire trunk full of jumpers I've bought from op shops over the last few years #jane austen #pride and prejudice #jane austen emma #persuasion

Hypothetical Scenario: You are a married, upperclass woman living in the Regency Era. You live in the same town as all of Jane Austen's male characters (the female characters are not relevant to this scenario). Your sister has sent her daughter to come stay with you as she is now out in society, and therefore looking to be exposed to potential suitors

Context: This is not to say that your niece is a shoe-in for any particular match, but just that you would be most inclined to encourage this one. We'll say that while you and your sister's families are doing well financially, your niece does not have a massive dowry

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more”

Jane Austen, Emma

“And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted”

Hozier, Shrike

“And so it seems I must always write you letters that I can never send.”

Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals Of Sylvia Plath

“Because my love for you / Is higher than words, /I have decided to fall silent.”

Nizar Qabbani

“I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you”

Taylor Swift, The Archer

“What I feel for you can’t be conveyed in phrasal combinations; It either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise — it beats words. It beats worlds.”

Katherine Mansfield

“There's things I wanna say to you but I'll just let you live.”

Lana Del Rey, Cinnamon Girl

I'm reading Emma by Jane Austen right now and OMG THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD. Like it feels like a perfect mix between romance and a gossip session.

"A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from; and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals."

Emma, Jane Austen
