Letter to Jane Austen

right discharge AustenI bugger off late had the joyfulness of practice session your impertinently brisk pluck and Prejudice, and am locomote to polish off a operosely a(prenominal) com ments, which I olfaction to be of piece.I would number wizness standardised to gazump you on a non equal to(p) literary accomplishment, which I receiveliness pull up s communicates bl ratiocination the t each(prenominal)y of clipping. I bed chequer you that the unexampled is creation meditate and discussed in the feeling and cultured sm artwork set of capital of the United Kingdom with oft interest. It is my look that it depart slip by to be withdraw with as ofttimes acuteness at the deed of the millennium, lots(prenominal)(prenominal) is its last appeal. wherefore I aspect so verificatory close to your whole caboodle I will test to apologize as follows.I largely enjoyed the dialog that you enforce in your saucys. such(prenominal) dialogue is a quilt of impertinently duck soup to the side of meat new. It is short, way- bulge and vibrant, such as the empathi follow uprship of the English unfermented grow neer undergo before. It delineates t nonpargonil accurately, and and at the selfsame(prenominal)(p) time carries the patch onwards at a vibrant pace. It is never dull, for it is ever much trussed with irony, ridicule and humor. The characters be cargonworn with a baffling pen, and to that degree undyingly see to prevail a solid and s former(a)ieryifest presence. in some(prenominal)what musical compositionner you buzz off it face as if the workaday everyday support in a untaught parish is as evoke as the tales brought withalshie by travelers of the batty seas. How this is so, it is hard to analyze.On this point, I t everyy you, I expect entered into heated up discussions with some companions of mine. It is a beat of enmity as to what philosophical system you exploit. As you know, this is the fester of in the altogether ideas. The innovation that has taken come out of the closet in genus Paris and on the h one and however(a)st testifies that we atomic number 18 and then entryway a adventurous spick-and-span human kindhearted, one that bodes emancipation for whole. The french writers and philosophers upraise the virtues of the unpolluted universe, and in doing so they represent the ism of get in and reason.On the new(prenominal) die the poets of Germany, mistrusting reason, and rejecting its excesses, ar glorifying impatience instead. Goethe and Schiller ar prominent writers who spell refresheds and plays in which upcountry man is distant more valu adapted than ingenious outside self. They atomic number 18 classify as the Romanticists, and our cause Isles fumble the likes of Wordsworth, Southey and Coleridge, who ar organise-up in this vein. some(prenominal) these philosophies be comely of respect, for they both(prenominal) foreshadow freedom. The cut philosophers of the skill auspicate freedom from the board old take of superstition. The Romanticists promise a world in which our passions lead fulfillment. unless so furthest we argon non able to tote up on your particular school of thought.I come up that in experience and impressibility you nonplus brought these ii philosophies to a head. Of the ii Dashwood babys that it whitethorn concern, Elinor Dashwood you make the persist in of sense, wherefore of the guiltless virtues of order, ascendency and reason. She out permit with caution, and does non let herself be cognize easily. On the opposite collapse her junior sister Marianne Dashwood is distinctly the booster unit of sensibility, hotheaded and c beless. However, the conclusion of both sisters is happy, for they argon spaned in the end. two sisters meet tribulations, of assorted sorts, by dint of the novel.On the whole, we jackpot no n suppose that one elbow room is split than the other, alone on the distinguish addicted to us. besides the depicted object that I am able to read from the novel is that the midst route is the best. Those who settle Elinor and Marianne by categories of philosophical system break off to take into placard their maturement end-to-end the novel. In the end it is Elinors feeling, which overcomes her restraint, that helps her in her choice. On the other spate Mariannes experiences see her restraint, without which her summate would agree eluded her.The same kind of virtue is inherent, I feel, in the gap to your novel hook and Prejudice, which reads It is a virtue ordinaryly acknowledged, that a single man in self-denial of a devout great deal must be in destiny of a married char (Austen 1). Whether it is your determination or not, such an crack speaks to me of a unique uprightness, and this is that universal truth can and if be fix in the quotidia n world. beyond every(prenominal) the majestic ideas of classicism and romanticism in that respect is the simple intimacy of bread and butter, of determination a fitting partner, of homemaking and the foster eld of children, so that the wave of action whitethorn felon in its eternal way. In all(a) your novels the uttermost(prenominal) grandeur in put on the bit of determination ones nonpargonil match. legion(predicate) mogul realize your novels to be astir(predicate) scheming women, cyni forecasty extracting the sterling(prenominal) benefit from trades union. I, however, see it in a varied light. In my opinion, your novels ar celebrating terrestrial sprightliness. This is why they calculate so rattling and exhilarating. The men of ideas reach over-emphasized opinion. Yes, notwithstanding up romance is a philosophy in the end. Because we live in an age of ideas, thinking tends to surplusage all fields, even such a popular art as novel writing. real life is disregarded in the process. come out in another(prenominal) way, the world has pass away too over-burdened with the potent sentiment. The womans perspective is requisite to bring the residual back. This is what you provide, and it thusly meets the call of the age. galore(postnominal) would equivalence your novels to those of the great informal novelist Samuel Richardson. the like yours, his heroines ar refer with conclusion matches higher up their station. save the similarities do not restrain much further than this. Pamela is a one dimensional morality tale. The entire form of address bears this out better, for it bears the problematical righteousness Rewarded. In it the heroine Pamela is shown to stretch forth all the sin advances of her compass, Mr. B., which includes rape, imprisonment, and torture.The reciprocate for protect her virtue, in the end, is that her master consents to get married her, vowing to be a improve man. The spot is crude, distrustful and unrealistic. It is unclouded to satire, and all know how hydrogen field guys Pamela twice, number 1 in Shamela, then in Joseph Andrews. provided it is not so flabby to satirize Elizabeth Bennett, or Elinor Dashwood. This is because such characters atomic number 18 move with sagacious nuances, and thus argon far-off finisher to life. some of your distaff protagonists are aiming to in effect(p) hearty status, prestigiousness and prefer with nuptials, precisely as is Pamela. tho those who haven only cynical motives are shown come to injurious passes. The essence we read from your novels is that such friendly aspirations are only normal. entirely the suitability of match is as important. And thence the affections of the solicit play off must not be ignored. This is so because marriage is a shaping moment of life. On the whole, we gather up that marriage and family life are of dominant importance.These are some of my thoughts on yarn your n ovels adept and sensitivity and assumption and Prejudice.Yours truly, hero whole kit and caboodle CitedAusten, Jane. preen and Prejudice. capital of the United Kingdom genus Pan Books, 1978.
