In every soul lies a pinch of Jane Austen's wit, a smidge of irony, and a genuine heart for the human voice. Whether we like it or not - love her or hate her - anyone can relate to the Austinism of yesterday. So here I am, a college student writing simple responses to anything Austen all supported by historical evidence and mysteries surrounding the life of Jane. I will be discussing, anazlyizing, and of course jousting Jane Austen inspired productions.
To start things off let's dive in to the independent masterpiece, Becoming Jane, directed by Julian Arnold. What makes this movie so appealing? What do people have to say about the credibility of this film? Could this really be a true reflection on what really inspired Jane? ....and for those of you who don't know what I am talking about, here is the trailer for Becoming Jane.

"To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment."
Jane Austen
Your questions are so important! And I wonder why we have to know about the "inspiration" anyway-can't we accept that maybe she was just a genius and driven to write?
