Lol, well I’m pretty sure I can handle this one, tho time’s certainly ticking away.
I’m actually doing a queer reading of this text, while also implementing past critical analysis of the book to show how critique has evolved over time etc etc.
idk. I mean if the universe wants you to help me out i ain’t gonna tell it no.
I wasn’t saying anything against the AU, just that the idea of them happy together gives me emotions because
I got to the part where Helen dies in Jane’s arms while they lie sleeping together.WhatthefuckwhatthefUCKI’m ruined
Me with that AU:
Yes! I’m excited to see how well that holds over into adulthood
So far so good! At the outset, I was initially concerned with the turn the story would take, what, with one of the early end notes comparing the story to Pamela (story of a servant constantly being harassed by her employer until she marries him) because Jane will supposedly marry her “Master” (whatever that may mean in this story). But her recognizing and condemning the abuse and suffering she’s gone through, as well as the suffering of others, has warmed me more to the story’s potential.
