Anna, 25, and I blog(or re-blog) whatever I want
Not to gatekeep Jane Austen, but I don’t think you’re allowed to adapt Persuasion until you’ve lived years of your life trying to appease others, watching opportunities pass you by, and then realize you have to grow and move on somehow in an environment where others who’ve surpassed you already thrive.
That’s a very specific story.
No because pride and prejudice isn’t “I changed myself for you so you would love me back.” It’s “your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don’t expect you to love me now that I’m a work in progress, so I’m just going to do nice things for you because I don’t like seeing you hurt.” No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.
