Right, but only after admitting that the mad woman in the attic is actually his wife, and nearly getting burned alive after she sets fire to the manor house…🙄
As a guy, I can’t help but appreciate Austen’s genius. Her stories don’t just speak to the women yearning for love but to the men grappling with their own struggles, silent longings, and unspoken truths. It’s that moment of confession—the “ardently” we all hope to say or hear. Noah Blake
We 21st century women have an entirely different selection, as we're not starting with the disad of mandatory genteel poverty (ala the Bates family in Emma) if we don't manage to get hitched.
And the spinoff special could be the guy behind the guy Jane was winking at on trial for stalking and harassment for approaching her in a supermarket by saying, "hello, you look nice. I noticed you winking at me from afar." 😂
I'll take satire any day of the week: it's safer to joke than be sincere
Love me some Jane Austen, too—let the convincing begin! That rain-soaked 'so this is what you think of me' moment is peak brooding perfection. Damn her for setting the bar with strangers who passionately admire us! 🤩
That guy in the corner, doing his best James Dean, may be dangerous; maybe not. Whores, cops, soldiers, and sailors know the difference. Everyone else can wonder; or move on.
Have you seen the streamed stage show where the older Wickham (played by the actor from the original) tells his version? It's fantastic. A one-man tour de force, filmed in lockdown.

And me swooning 😍
Wah Wah
All the others, yes. But Mr Darcy was just a dream.
Unlike Edward Ferrars, Edmund Bertram, George Knightley, Henry Tilney, Frederick Wentworth. I believe in all of them.

There are worse things to pine over, or so I have been told...
