Are Jane Austen's works overrated? She seems to be praised by women and redditors so I would assume the answer is yes.
Genuinely curious if her shit is good to read doe

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 10:00:03 2022 No.20291105 >>20291089 Believe it or not, not everything is about internet politics. The book is good, if you are caught up in the "aesthetic" associated with a book then you will likely be put off by it, if not then you will be able to enjoy and appreciate it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 11:53:01 2022 No.20291452 P and P is seriously great. Then watch the 2005 adaption with Kiera Knightley just because she's an absolute cutie in it and the soundtrack is kino.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 16:02:12 2022 No.20292476 I enjoyed P&P. Maybe stop obsessing over trying to be contrarian to what women think or some idiotic thing like that.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 16:10:05 2022 No.20292503 its solid from what ive read, but its not really comparable with actual great novelists like dickens or tolstoy.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 16:15:50 2022 No.20292534 >>20291089 Why do you care what women and redditors think you big fat fag?

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 20:36:02 2022 No.20293450 P&P is no more than an overrated romcom like The Door into Summer. Mansfield Park is far better than P&P.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 20:45:42 2022 No.20293466 >>20291089 Macintyre called her the last Aristotelian >>20291452 Jennifer Ehle is my bae

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 20:46:45 2022 No.20293471 >>20292503 Dickens is hot garbage compared to Austen

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 28 20:47:05 2022 No.20293472 >>20291089 Supposing I were reading this to impress a cute feminist girl, what would be some feminist angles that I could utilize to gain her affection? She’s jewish
