Tonight I watched “Becoming Jane”. If you are following my Austin posts you know that before the
challenge I was in an “Austen Free Zone”.
Meaning? I had not read her, followed any of the recent books or ever watched an Austen related movie. I really dont know why…
I have had Pride and Prejudice (which I am reading now) and Emma on my shelves for years. So I planned to…. I just didn’t. Thank you to this challenge for forcing my hand!
So this is the 2nd movie, having watched Pride and Prejudice Last week. I really liked this one as well. I found Jane’s character to be a lot like Elizabeth in P & P…. in the sense that they were both so very strong willed, independent women. The ending was unexpected to me… I did not know that Jane Austen had never married. I guess I need to add to my personal challenge here to brush up on some Austen basics.
