in consequence of the missive, Elinor and Marianne: not so very different, penned by Elizabeth K
The problem with Marianne's feelings always being on display is that while she prides herself on having stronger and deeper feelings than other people, her display of feelings often hurts, offends or makes other people uncomfortable. Someone with true delicacy of feelings would consider the effect her words were going to have on others before blurting out everything that crosses her mind. As for the comparisons to other novels, a brief comparison to illustrate a point is fine, but a drawn out or elaborated comparison should go to the Austenuations board. |
