Northanger Abbey





Northanger A. is now complete, and i really enjoyed watching it last night. I always do, haven't seen it for a while. Even surprisingly my younger sister enjoyed it! Well it is always a fun story, very different to what Jane Austen normally did and it is ironic in its own ways. Well i hope those who did watch it enjoyed it too. I suppose we can read to many novels!
Thanks BOstan~

Shakespeare+

Ok for this week it is Sonnet 23, i really liked this sonnet. It is written a bit different than his other sonnets, it just sounds different to me. I really like it, hope you do to.
Sonnet 23

As an unperfect actor on the stage,
Who with his fear is put besides his part,
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength’s abundance weakens his own heart;
So I, for fear of trust, forget to say
The perfect ceremony of love’s rite,
And in mine own love’s strength seem to decay,
O'ercharged with burden of mine own love’s might.
O let my books be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,
Who plead for love and look for recompense
More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
  O learn to read what silent love hath writ!
  To hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit
.
-William Shakespeare

February with a F

Well Happy February that is and that is to come. I can't wait to see what will happen this month..
This Month the characters i am thinking about are: Fanny Price (from Mansfield Park) and Frank Churchill (from Emma) Both Jane Austen novels. Two F's for February - Any more character ideas that begin with F?
I Hope you like this picture, i found it and was just so stunned by how pretty it was. Not exactly sure where it is suppose to be but love it anyways.
Thanks BOstan~

Emma Part 2


Fantastic! I really enjoyed it and it left me definitely wanting more and more. I think they did so great in following the books story line. I love when they do that. Again the characters are getting even more defined and the actors did another great job with the film. I only wish this part was longer. Well don't forget to catch next week: Emma Part 3 (Last Part) (check your local listings)
