JANE AUSTEN MOVIES <333 (btw, is your favourite one persuasion? i have no idea if it would be but that seems to be the general consensus amongst film-and-austen-literate people, hmph.) anyway, i think this thesis is an important one, not only for the explicit points which you have outlined but also because it speaks to DIRECT LINKAGE of austen and alexander the great. yes. PROFOUND omg. i've always been very attracted to stories about friends - the BEST of friends - who became lovers (haha). it's one of the reasons i liked emma so much, and delighted in watching her angst when she realised that the sexual love had been there but in such unrecognizable form. also there are incest issues that i find intriguing but.

i've said this three times now but you understand them SO WELL. i mean, the most fascinating aspect of their relationship, to me, is how exactly they fit together (emotionally and, ahem, physically), how they can satisfy each other, how their inequality could be resolved or reconciled, as you say, and of course you see all that too, and why don't you write them again?

i think this romantic friendship in literature should be written out into a real paper. it would be fascinating.

xoxo. you are superb and i'm glad you like this because i never would have written it without you. part of why it took me so long to finish omg :(
