This fascination you have with Jane Austin amuses me. Why her and not Dickensquote]


PB.....Why Austen instead of Dickens? Simply a matter of taste. Dickens central story is the tale of his misery childhood and get rich fast scheme. Almost all his stories speak of orphans mistreated and eventually gaining some random wealth out of no where. His characters dwell in the slimy slums of England, with its disgusting cast of low class vultures whose greediness has scurred even the author himself. And Dickens stories appeals to boys only.

I will pick Jane Austen calm, refined fantastically decored livingroom, over dickens dirty slums any day.Austen has an air of language, mansions, am sorry.....Estates......Mr. Darcy? Mary Crawford? How can i not love or be obsessed with Jane Austen based on the character Mary Crawford herself? She was a london elite beauty who went to the rural hampshire with musical Harp instrument, to corrupt poor bertrums and Fanny price?Robert Ferrar? The dashwoods?

Sure her central stories were mainly the pursuit of marriage in the end. Marriage to a rich man that is. Whats wrong with that? Lord byron once said---a story that ends with a death is tragedy that that ends with marriage- a comedy!

I wanna know how Great Expectations, David Copperfield. Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities are "get rich fast scheme"

Ka Darag, what type of English is that? Text speak?

Very good (even though I'm not sure if you meant that one).

But, no, we did not. I don't agree with your views on Dickens. His books always gave a great picture of the English society of his time. Austin’s were too girly (though she wrote beautifully).

Of course, I only mentioned Dickens and Shakespeare as random examples and not a comparison. Those two are pillars of English literature while she’s merely a wet curtain.

"His books always gave a great picture of the English society of his time"


Really? Even though it gave a negative picture of the slums of English society? I guess u would approve this negative narration to suit your somali nationalistic urges.


"Austin’s were too girly (though she wrote beautifully). "


I forgive u for mispelling her name-soley because u said she wrote 'beautifully'. (Its Austen macaan.... ....)



"Those two are pillars of English literature while she’s merely a wet curtain. "

Funny u couple dickens and shakespeare. There is no article or place in the critic reports which even did that--if shakespeare is coupled with anyone it is Jane Austen herself! The famous 18th century poem Scott was the first to compare her!
