Back when my friend convinced me to read Tess of the d'Urbervilles (the most depressing piece of literature in the history of civilization!), the edition I checked out from the library included a quote calling Tess a rare example of "goodness made interesting." Now, this actually isn't true of Tess because murder (however sympathetic the plight of the murderer, as hers is) is incompatible with "goodness"; she quite a heroine, just not "goodness made interesting."| jill_rg
Paradise Lost, Mansfield Park, Little Women, Lady Audley's Secret, A Little Princess, every fairy tale, every Shakespeare tragedy, every Gothic novel from The Castle of Otranto to Wuthering Heights to Dracula to The Phantom of the Opera... in all literary fandoms, it's the same song from all readers and critics: virtue sucks, evil rocks; heroes are boring, villains are awesome; any restraint, reason, or morality is always wrong, but all passion is always right all the time.| jill_rg

What do Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey have in common?| jill_rg
Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion - which of these is not like the others?| jill_rg
Whenever I try to take up the impossible task of personally putting Austen's novels in order from my favorite to least favorite, I can never get past my top 2: Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park. Northanger Abbey is my least favorite (which does not mean I don't like it - not even close - I just like all the rest better), but the other 3 are all (completely subjectively and biased, here) equally good in different ways imho. P&P and MP are in a class of their own, but which of them is the ...| jill_rg
