Bettina’s Reviews > The Complete Novels of Jane Austen > Status Update

I understand that this is a youthful, early novel centered around young women with little exposure to the world. Even so, some of it (in reading) seems even sillier than the film. I’m not sure whether Marianne making herself ill with a broken heart, Willoughby‘s self-pity or Ellinor‘s eternal goodness and moral fortitude are most annoying.
