Just out of interest what if everything is dependent on interpretation? In other words, what if the truths as we know them are not incorrect. But rather the same story seen from a different perspective. Take your comments about the other heroes and their quests. Yes, they were all successful in their quests. But, one of the things I actually did like about the Disney interpretation, be it true or false and who knows anyway right? But they didn’t glorify Hercules because of his accomplishments in his quests. In fact, there’s a scene where Hercules speaks to his father Zeus and says when do I get to join you on mount olympus, I’ve done everything you asked. And Zeus says yes you’ve done good, but it’s not quite what makes you a real hero. In other words, there is a deeper meaning to the real quest at hand that Hercules is being asked to undertake. And in the end that’s what makes him a god again and allows him to join them on mount Olympus. I know what you mean about there being many differences in the Hercules story and there is. But that particular interpretation that they put in it I actually thought was a good touch because regardless it still sends a good message and more importantly, I think that particular part is widely left open anyway. I think you could easily reach a very similar or close conclusion and it not really have to damage any of the other perspectives. I like how passionate you get about it, I would certainly like to pick your brain for a little while, I think I would find that very interesting. Certainly would grip me to talk to someone who is as passionate about what they read as you are. Even if we didn’t agree at the end, I think I would still love every bit of it 😉

Amazing, so moving 😂😂

Good girl reforms bad boy had supposedly been done before Austen with Samuel Richardson's Pamela. I say supposedly because at the time there were a set of readers who saw the titular heroine as highly manipulative not a really good girl just a very clever one who knew how to play her hand to get a ring on it. So alt interpretations and death of the author are also older than you might think. Sir Thomas Bertram is also responsible for Maria's disgrace because another big reason she married Mr James Rushworth was to get away from him. He was both far too strict and dictatorial but he also didn't teach his kids especially his daughters any real morality. They were the inverse of Darcy's education they had good manners and charm but they weren't given good principles or the education that encouraged them to develop them rather than have them imposed upon them.

Great list! Speaking of dystopias, have you heard of 'CronoRevolution'? It's a mind-bending tale set in a future where freedom is an illusion. Definitely worth checking out if you're into stories about resistance and survival!

I read this book for the first time months ago and I liked it, I’ve read all of Jane Austen’s work and I do prefer her other books over Mansfield park. I really liked Fanny as a character which is an unpopular opinion, but I find her very relatable. I also enjoy the side characters such as the Crawford’s, I think they’re very entertaining. Edmund was a bit of a dud, he was insufferable in my opinion and he didn’t deserve to be with Fanny, also the fact Fanny and Edmund are first cousins grosses me out, it especially grosses me out because they essentially were raised together. Other than that, I really liked Mansfield park, I liked how different it was from Jane’s other novels. It’s not my favorite Austen novel, but I think that Mansfield Park doesn’t get enough credit. I really loved the complicated social dynamics too.

To answer your question, NO.Charlotte a much better match.😅

I have never read the novel, but I eagerly opine on the topic. In a word, Yes! It just makes sense. Mary is an avid reader and interested in the Fordyce's Sermons, (at least according to Jane in the 1995 BBC series adaptation). Mary is a great deal more intelligent and insightful than Mr. Collins and would have complemented him. She appears to have an obvious crush on, or interest in, Mr. Collins in the series, (maybe less obvious but implied in the 2005 movie adaptation). So maybe Mr. Collins would actually have been loved and admired by his wife instead of just endured and tolerated in order to gain personal security. (Maybe he would not have made her skin crawl in the marital bed.) And the main argument, Mr. Collins said that he wanted to choose a bride from amongst the Bennet sister in order to preserve good relations between the two branches of the family since their property was entailed upon him. If he had chosen Mary, who seemed more than willing, Longbourne would have thus, in effect, stayed in the Bennet family, which would have pleased everyone. Charlotte is a good sort, practical and a good friend, but maybe not crazy about her husband. Mary and Mr. Collins would have been happier together.

like for at least trying ))

you don´t seem to understand that Fanny couldn´t protest or demonstrate her unwillingness in any way, shape or form. She could be kicked out of the Mansfield park back to poverty and spend all the rest of her life caring for younger siblings or being married to some pennyless sailor. And I don´t think it could do her any good especially if we take into account ger problems with health

well, any minimally educated person won´t give a damn about Edmund being Fanny´s first cousin. Because everybody knows it was totally normal among upper clas of Regency era. You need to be a 7 year old child in order to even pay attention to this fact.

I think they would have made the best couple BECAUSE they are so similar. Collins was definitely shallow for going after the two pretty sisters first, but he later proposed to an unattractive Charlotte 2 years his senior, so appearance wasn't such an obstacle for him - he just wanted to get back at Elizabeth. Mrs. Bennet should have recommended Mary herself. I can't imagine Charlotte tolerating Collins' bootlicking and Catherine sticking her nose in every aspect of their lives for years. Collins' respect for his wife is tied to Catherine's respect for her; only someone naive could live with that fact and not despise her husband.

Aremt we all unemployed 😂

It's like reading about a puppy being kicked over and over and over... and I don't see Edmund as 'kind'. He... doesn't ACTIVELY treat her badly.

Forget the dialogue. Mesmerizing beauty you are.

Social climbing Mr. Collins (AKA Vicar) was very happy to marry the eldest daughter of a Knight (Sir Lucas). This would appear to be a higher level in society than his own gentleman/clergy (and eventual) estate owner status. Lady Catherine was probably pleased with his choice and Charlotte Lucas Collins would be humble enough to bow to her ego.

People want modern female heroines to be butt-kicking and sassy. We believe Fanny isn't brave because she doesn't give Mrs. Norris a well-deserved rhetorical roundhouse kick. Fanny has quiet bravery. She is demeaned because of her status among her wealthier, spoilt cousins, verbally abused by Mrs. Norris, and neglected by Lady and Sir Bertram. She is a charity case and is not allowed to forget it. She expresses her lower status and gratitude with a life of service and self-denial for her family but refuses to be reduced morally. This refusal for moral degradation is labeled by modern readers as being "uptight" and "straight-laced," but being true to yourself, true to your principles, does not always mean some kind of let-your-hair-down liberation. It can be saying "no" when everyone around you, everyone you depend on, those above you in status, pressure you to say "yes." She is appreciated when her moral uprightness keeps her on the straight and narrow while Maria is ruined and Tom is almost ruined.

Thank you for this video ❤

I don’t think Willoughby had a heart. I think he had a victim complex. He’s was a very true-to-life narcissist and only loved himself. He seduced, impregnated and abandoned a vulnerable girl, jilted his girlfriend publicly, used gaslighting to make her look crazy, married a woman he actively despised for money, and then wanted to weep on Elenor’s shoulder about losing Marianne. The unmitigated gall places him as the actual worst suitor, IMO. Marginally, because Wickham could easily have done the same to Lydia with no qualms.

Beautiful analysis ❤

There are places in modern US first cousins do legally marry.

Try and learn french, ain't that foreign to English!

So Mary really marrys Mr. Collins?

Hi, please, can you do the entire soliloquy? I really love the way you talk, (I am italian, but I love Hamlet and other Shakespeare 's masterpieces)..

I've read the Fahnestock and Macafee version twice and I can highly recommend it. I haven't read any other translation, I wonder if I should give a different translation a try the next time I read Les Miserables

I wished power rangers can be included as well. I thought all red and black rangers are evil.

Mary's social graces were severely affected by constant unfavourable comparison with her sisters. If she has to be the plain, average one, she's at least going to be accomplished. Of course, trying to show off her accomplishments often went down poorly, but what a girl is to do with nothing else to recommend her? Funny enough, it was Kitty who eventually married a clergyman, and Mary settled with one of her uncle Phillips' clerks. It is clear, even in the book, that Mary considers Mrs Collins an acceptable match, although she thinks she could improve him still later. On paper, they are well suited. But Mary would not do well as a lady of a parsonage, working with people in the village and making nice with Lady Catherine. For all her outward self esteem isues, Mary does think highly of herself, and I don't think she would do well with opinionated Lady Catherine. Charlotte was more grounded, pragmatic, and able to read the room. Better prepared to economically run a household. Charlotte's match wasn't a love match, but something like a job opportunity. It was a career choice. And she knew what she was getting and decided she could live with it (plus she had practice dealing with her father, who was a bit silly like Mr Collins). At the end of the novel, she is expecting. So she got everything she wanted - a comfortable home of her own (with prospects of living in Longbourn), a child to raise, husband of good character and young enough to wisen up (Mr Collins was 25). He might be annoying, but as far as prospects for a 27 year old soon-too-be old maid, he was a jackpot. Mary would not get the same satisfaction of the match.

Well, the plus side of a Mary/Collins union, would be the comfort of Bennett estate remaining in the family and some of the pressure taken off the other sisters of urgently marrying up. But the chain of events that with Lizzie spending time at Rosings with Darcy and then his proposal and then his letter, would probably not happen, and then her eventual marriage to Darcy and even her sister Jane's marriage to Bingly would mostly not happen. And even worse for the whole of the Bennett family, Darcy wouldn't been there to save Lydia. The whole family would have been disgraced and ruin! That stink and stain would probably also have affected Mary/Collins, as well.

you have a name for every one of them? Iwonder what's the one for war and peace? woopii???

i just read the book for the first time in my life and i loved it so much. i can’t believe so many people don’t like this book

very informative, i bought the deluxe penguin edition, the one ur holding in the video and I'm relieved to know i picked the best translator

If I remember Mary blossom more and became more sociable when the other sisters got married. Being compared to her prettier sisters held her back & she now paid attention to her appearance? I imagine her finding a studious, (good looking) young man, who sees past the glasses, and with money considerations no longer a problem, she deserves it.

It's one of my favourites

Lizzy should run for a prime minister and Jane for her advisor.

The main reason modern people (Specifically) women of course don't like Mansfield Park and subsequently Fanny Price the main protagonist is because she is the most Traditional, Moral & Humble of Austen's female leads. Most modem women also misinterpret Austen as a feminist not realizing her biggest critique of women in her works is that they are too arrogant, stubborn & fill with a sense of rebellion which idk fits modern women perfectly but because Austen critiques women with subtle jabs & satirical structure modern women seem to think she is supporting feminist ideals because they aren't understanding her critiques they aren't comprehending it for the context that it's being written in.

The Norman Denny is the one I liked the best.

Can anyone tell me how accurate Mary was in the two British TV series? It’s been ages, but she seemed, not just awkward, but actually talentless; & it’s been even longer since I’ve read P&P. Did TV downgrade her a bit, or was she actually off-putting?

Mansfield Park is my favorite Jane Austen novel. The reason for it is that I, although a man, identified completely with Fanny Price. I have always perceived myself as an outcast. As an outcast Fanny does everything in her power (internally) to resist bending her conscience to the whims and in-style mentalities of those around her. Her opposition to putting on a play is evidently a statement about not “acting” as a person you are not. “Be true to yourself,” could be her motto. (Don’t yield to acting like someone you are not because of the current fad.) When she returns to her biological family she realizes she is no longer identifies herself with her origins. The irony is that she had returned to her biological home precisely because she was ejected from Mansfield Park. So, in the end, she has actually become a person free of all social pressure. This is why her marriage to Edmund is not really her final destiny. Fanny and Edmund, although they love each other, are not perfectly matched. She will remain faithful to him out of principle, but we should no expect their union to be an ideal.

I like Fanny and Mansfield Park, but part of the problem with Edmond and Fanny's engagement is that since Fanny was seven the two of them had been raised in the same house as virtual brother and sister.

Mansfield Park is a harsher look at society than the more romantic books. Although Sense and Sensibility isn’t a Rom Com, it’s an unpleasant look at what happens to second families when husband and father fails to care for them. Fanny was very observant and an acute judgment of character. She’s also very aware of the consequences to poverty and that privilege and comfort don’t make people good. As for first cousin marriage, at the time, marriage between cousins on the mothers’ side were considered not as close as cousins on the fathers’ side. MP is a very interesting character book. Also it’s very honest book. And I don’t agree Austin’s other books are lighthearted romance. They’re close look at society, behavior judgments, and clear eyed look at the status of women. And not least, the only good parent is Lady Elliot, who’s long dead. Every other adult in a parental position, is negligent, disconnected, and selfish. It’s a feature of JA’s books that’s always fascinating.

They would have been well suited if he wasn't a clergyman a cleargymans wife needs to be somewhat extroverted as they have to interact and schmooze with the parishioners not just their ilustrious patroness and that life wouldnt have suited Mary at all.

I did the Rose translation in my last reading. I really liked it, felt super approachable.

Well said.

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.--Soft you now! The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember'd.

Darcy was supposed to marry his first cousin.

I’ve just finished reading Mansfield Park and have enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the book. I was very up and down as to how I felt about it as I read through it. It is definitely an interesting book that gave us an insight into many aspects of society and experience. It was both surprising and expected in some of its twists and turns. :)

Not gonna lie I actually wasn't a big fan of the book and I actually like the Disney movie better. Which is strange because I didn't like the Disney movie all that much when I was a kid, but as an adult I love it. Quasimodo and Esmeralda are much more likable and relatable in The Disney movie than they are in the book. I honestly didn't find the ending in the book that effective because Quasimodo and Esmeralda weren't likable in the book, so when they died I wasn't sad and simply did not care. I mean seriously If they aren't likeable in the book why should I feel sad if they die? You want me to be sad when Quasimodo and Esmeralda die, you're not entitled to it. You have to earn it. I also found the book to be kinda boring and all over the place. The book was also incredibly pretentious, emotionally manipulative and way too preachy for my liking. The Disney movie was very dark and it dealt with issues like Racism, Political Corruption, Religious Bigotry and Genocide but it was never preachy or pretentious. I also like Claude Frollo is a way cooler villain in the movie than he was in the book. I also found him to be much scarier as a Judge than a Priests. Let's be real Priests have no power and can't do shit. Frollo being a judge certainly makes him more a threat because he has more power authority. I also think that the idea that Disney's Frollo is "One Dimensional" or "Too Unrealistic" is total bullshit. I know movies are subjective, but did they even watch the movie. While Disney's Frollo is pure evil but that doesn't make him one dimensional. He believes what he's doing is right and views himself as the good guy to him being a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. 4Shame brilliantly debunks the idea of Disney's Frollo being "One Dimensional" or "Too Unrealistic": ruclips.net/video/_UySr6nowdU/видео.htmlsi=1943hGAfVwmQ9whY The Disney movie had better pacing and didn't go all over the place like the book. I also like The Gargoyles and Fuck Dory in Finding Nemo. Yep I went there (When I mean by I like the Gargoyles. I'm talking about the first movie from 1996 not the abysmal direct to video sequel in 2002). I found them to be funny and charming. Especially Hugo voiced by Jason Alexander who I like it pretty much anything he's in. Do I get the hate for the Gargoyles? Yes and no. “They’re annoying, obnoxious, not funny, They’re too over the top, got on my nerves, they’re cringy, they’re not my cup of tea”. I obviously disagree but that’s perfectly understandable and I feel your pain despite disagreeing with you. That’s how I feel about Dory in Finding Nemo. But if were talking about the god awful sequel than I would agree with you. “They take away the darkness and sacrifice the dark tone” Umm…How? Whether you like them or not hey’re barely in the god damn movie and they don’t get a lot screentime only popping up once in a while. I know people like to argue the movie is “Durr this movie is tonally inconsistent” Umm…how? Did you even watch the god damn movie? Are there SOME lighthearted moments? Sure, but barely, and they don’t last long very long and only last for 5 minutes and it’s not like the Eddie Murphy’s Haunted Mansion or the highly overrated Cabin In The Woods of the highly overrated Toy Story 3 where it comes out of nowhere. Now that’s a tonally inconsistent movie for ya. Batman The Animated Series, X-Men The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, Spider-Man The Animated Series, Justice League The Animated Series, Batman: Mask of The Phantasm, Gargoyles, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Corpse Bride do the exact opposite. They are darker, more adult oriented, intense, sophisticated, and only have a few lighthearted moments here and there, right? (Batman The Animated Series, X-Men The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, Spider-Man The Animated Series, Justice League The Animated Series, Batman: Mask of The Phantasm, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Corpse Bride are not Disney, but you get the idea) I guess they’re tonally inconsistent than. No because they only happen here and there and only last for like five to six minutes. Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame DOES THE EXACT SAME THING!!! Also anime like Naruto, Hellsing and Cowboy Beebop also similar humor to the 1996 Disney film? Are they tonally inconsistent? No. Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame does the same exact thing. So, the next time you say it’s “Durr tonally inconsistent” actually watch the damn movie next time. I know movies are subjective and if you didn’t care for the movie and it wasn’t your cup of tea than fine, and I have nothing against that. But to say this movie is tonally inconsistent? I can't meet you half way with that argument.

First time I have heard it suggested that marriage between cousins was anyone's reason for disliking the novel...and can't believe it.

I love Mansfield Park but it’s so hard to explain why bc it’s so different from Austens other novels and I don’t like any of the the characters except Fanny, but I LOOOOVE the way they’re written lol 😂 Enjoyed this video!
