Ein bisschen zu viel Jane Austin

3 stars

Ich bin ein großer Fan von Jane Austin, ich mag die Zeit, die Ausdrucksweise auch wenn vieles nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist. Dieses Buch hat mich wütend gemacht. Es ist eigentlich ganz klassisch und vielleicht war es für mich gerade ein kleines bisschen zu viel. Ich empfand die Figuren der Frauen als viel zu stereotyp und es gab einfach keinerlei Entwicklung. Sie fügten sich leise und wurden nach ihrer Mitgift bewertet. Die Männer waren so toxisch und ekelhaft (für einen habe Austin Roman), ich wollte kotzen. Trotzdem wurden sie mit Freude vom Fleck weg geheiratet. Es gab einen winzigen Moment, als beschlossen wurde, dass ein Mann eine ihm unbekannte Frau heiraten sollte aufgrund ihres Vermögens, da gab es einen kleinen Widerstand. Sonst war es enttäuschend. Leider.

Overlong

3 stars

I noted when I read Mansfield Park in March that, had I begun my Jane Austen Challenge with that novel, I almost certainly would not have gone on to read any of her others. Well, had I chosen to read them in order and started with Sense And Sensibility I definitely would not have continued! I really struggled to finish this novel because it is verrrrry sloooow.

There are redeeming moments of course and I accept that I am probably in a minority of people who were underwhelmed with this much-loved classic. I did feel that Sense And Sensibility started out well. I enjoyed the interactions between John and Fanny Dashwood and both Mrs Dashwood and Mrs Jennings are fun. Unfortunately they are only supporting characters though so not on the page enough to liven up endless rounds of pseudo-polite chitchat with little plot to drive the narrative in between. As a hundred page novella, I think Sense And Sensibility would have kept my attention and been a satisfying read. Drawn out over more than twice that length however, it failed. Fingers crossed that Emma and Northanger Abbey are more to my taste!
