Great analysis of the modern Lizzie Bennet vs. the classic; interesting read. I’m a bit of a literature snob but given the overwhelming positive feedback, I’m excited to check this out!

I agree with what you said in the second-to-last paragraph. I’ve noticed that slapstick is a form of comedy traditionally performed by men but Bridesmaids is an example of slapstick performed by women and it’s pretty hilarious and was quite popular when it came out. Great analysis, loved the article!

While researching this article, I started to get the impression that George Eliot chose her own happiness over trying to fit into society. I can imagine that it probably made her unhappy to be shunned by society but she was firm in her lifestyle choices and eventually found acceptance.

Thank you!

I completely agree! I think that authors are overlooked as well. Throughout my education, the focus has been primarily on the work itself, rarely have I studied the life of an author in class.

Thank you. I thought it would be an interesting topic and I learned a lot about these couples while writing it.

Same here, I thought it would be fun and interesting to write about. Thank you.

Thank you very much!
