My own Character Connection post this week ...+JMJ+<br /><br />My own Character Connection post this week is on Catherine Morland, another "perfectly imperfect" Austen heroine that we can't help loving, despite the fact that her type would likely annoy us if we found her in another author's book. (One of my professors loved pointing out that Emma is the Lady Catherine de Bourgh of her own story!)<br /><br />I think Austen very deliberately wrote them that way, to satirise common novel tropes of her own day. It would be very interesting to read their contemporaries and see what Catherine and Emma were both send ups of and improvements to. =)Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508077744348630312.post-79221760291803156812010-07-22T09:25:43.719+01:002010-07-22T09:25:43.719+01:00To me, Emma is so perfectly imperfect, so humanly ...<i>To me, Emma is so perfectly imperfect, so humanly flawed, but I can’t help but love her. I would love to be friends with her, provided that she did not try to match me up with some weird bloke.</i><br /><br />You said it all right there! Emma isn't my favorite heroine, but at least she does learn from her mistakes. That's more than we can say about a lot of characters, or people for that matter.
