Dont we all love jane
This book so far, one could presume that the novel is boring. Just because the speed of the novel is going slow and we have difficult language to deal with as well as this book is hundreds of years old. Consider this book in its day. Many would just throw it into their fire place without a second glance. It was seen as racy and provacative. We must remember that this was a time when if a women were to so much as lift up her dress, it was considered flirtatous. With this context the book is a fun and dangerous read.

That is amazing. Your post is probably the best one on here :)
Ummmm...wouldn't it be outrageously flirtatious for a woman to lift up her dress today???
Some good observations here (and some others that aren't quite so accurate--the book isn't "hundreds" of years old)--but you never really follow up on your own good impulses (regarding issues of pace, language, portrayal of women, etc.). You need to write more! (If only because I am genuinely interested in your reaction to the text). Use this blog as a place to explore these reactions--at length!
