317 Jane Austen



When I wrote a short note about "Pride and Prejudice" here, I only had read the work out of several novels of the author. One reason was the one story was worth reading again and again, as so many critics of all times and places say, and I never lost interest in it. But finally the interest led me to other world of Jane Austen, which was supposedly quite similar to each other. 

No that's different. I was simply amazed by reading "Mansfield Park", "Sense and Sensibility", and " Emma" because I had so many different impressions on each books. "Pride and Prejudice" is a fresh and pleasant but classic love story, while "Mansfield Park" is really a tactful novel with thrilling insight to human mind. If "Sense and Sensibility" is a picturesque drama of vivid individuality, then "Emma" is a unique theatrical comedy, full of trivial and nonsense conversation and yet captivating. 

In short, all these works features a girl and its "long and winding" ways to happy marriage. But they are truly genius' works with fine tactics to lead the heroines to the happy ending, and the effortless but splendid description of human identities that give us laughter and lessons.
