Love the recurring instances where General Tilney asks Eleanor for her opinion and then immediately doesn’t let her speak and mansplains whatever he asked her about. And now Catherine’s got his number … this gothic villain fiend ..

The romance triangle and dynamics is getting messy with these crazy young adults, the scene in which captain Tilney is desperately flirting while Isabella is coyly turning away all while Catherine has to sit there and watch this with complete bewilderment made me very much LOL.

I’m so tickled by Isabella’s character being so obviously self-centered and scheming and the way she couches that in her selfless words. I loved the chapter in which it slowly dawns on her and Mrs. Thorpe that the Morlands aren’t as rich as they thought, and Catherine is innocently looking on, only sort of knowing something is off with their reactions. Really funny!!!!!

Pg144: “I killed time by imagining him getting turned into wisps of shredded flesh in a self-contained car accident that inconvenienced no one.” Amazing line of many..
