Questions for Blog #2

Dear All:

Please respond to ONE of the following questions with a clear, direct argument in 300-450 words:

1.  Between reading the Box Hill scene from Emma and watching it, which did you find the most laughable?  Which theorist from our quote sheet do you think best explains the reaction you had, or think you should have had, to the scene?

2.  Jane Austen is a celebrated classic humorist, known for her "gentile satire" of people in society.  Which character or characters do you think receive the most of Austen's ridicule, ultimately?

Good luck,
Jennifer
