Jane & her works

Having read Emma,seen all episodes of British Television classics Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and seen a movie made on Persuasion, all these priceless works of Jane Austen are very simple yet full of emotions, she can be called The Queen of Emotions.

Mostly in her novels, her main characters come from a poor family except for in Emma and they go through many troubles but at the end all is well. Though her works are fiction I am sure readers can relate it to life of some one in their life or themselves.

Jane was from large poor family hence most of her characters are so, she wrote what she felt connected to. Having read about her real life, I marvel her spirit and passion to writing. Though she was pestered to get married, so that she can inherit wealth which can prosper herself and her family she resisted it and boldly choose the path which her mind and heart directed. Due to circumstance she had to sacrifice her love for a man, whom she was about to get married and this made her even more tough from inside, she turned more strong and let her pen do the work. The pen did exactly what she dreamt of, her novels were famous and today are classics which we all have pleasure to read and feel Jane's thoughts. Hurdles kept standing tall but she was successful in crossing each eventually achieved what she wanted to. So do her characters at end, all are happy ending novels but which have gone through bumpy scenarios.

The BBC series makes it more special, attire of characters, the way it is narrated makes one glue to the series. No lady seen without scraf and man without a hat, the way people greet each other and immense respect to each other. The present is so very different and I wonder it remained same, well this remains just a wish as we all know only thing constant is change. The English language itself is so rich and pure in her works, I had to grab my dictionary to find meaning of few words.

People then had more leisure time, to do extra curricular activities, to play an instrument or sport I wonder what is that in today's world we are busy at and keep nagging for lack of time. I enjoy watching series based on novels of that era because it makes me feel what life is, get me near t characters which are so simple and charming. Adds an essence to the thought how peaceful Life can be unlike today's rush hour world.
