I still find Charlotte's decision slightly mystifying but then I haven't had to make that sort of decision in my life.Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580018261533290062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-77481619861368707292014-06-03T15:58:37.125+02:002014-06-03T15:58:37.125+02:00I can accept Charlotte's basic idea of marriag...I can accept Charlotte's basic idea of marriage for herself, especially for her time, but come on! Mr Collins? I still think that is taking it too far.Lol. I am intrigued!

I've always wondered what it would take for Lizzy to appreciate her mother's efforts... probably a better suitor than Mr Collins.<br /><br />I'm very curious how you translate Charlotte for a 21st century audience. This sounds very intriguing!junewilliams7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01695395707349685051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-44454007099929436772014-06-02T03:25:24.365+02:002014-06-02T03:25:24.365+02:00i'm excited to read this!!!

The main reason I pity her is Mr Collins because he's so cringeworthy!<br /><br />I think it's admirable that Mrs Bennet actively cares for her daughters' futures, more so than the lackadaisical Mr Bennet who just assumes that everything will turn out alright without any input from him! I always think it's a shame when she is portrayed harshly in Austen-inspired books.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-14392634568705892342014-06-01T23:10:58.954+02:002014-06-01T23:10:58.954+02:00This sounds like an interesting take on an often o...This sounds like an interesting take on an often over looked character.

I choose not to settle down with someone whom I cannot respect and love so I'd rather be alone and surrounded by friends and family.<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway offer and best of luck in adapting the other five Jane Austen's novel to modern culture.LĂșthien84https://www.blogger.com/profile/15390711363301378521noreply@blogger.com
