Jane Austen Woes

As I watch Pride and Prejudice for a study break, I can't help but wish to have lived during that particular era. The manner during that time period was so elegant, simple, and beautiful. Their dialect and speech is "fancy," for lack of a better word. The fashion during that era was also something of interest in my opinion. Maybe not men's fashion, but definitely women. Women were expected to wear dresses every day, dresses they made and designed themselves.

That is something else I find interesting. They did not have tvs to entertain them, or cell phones to be bothered by. Everything was so much more intimate because the time had to be put in to really achieve something, be it friendship, entertainment, or any sort of material things.

How beautiful and lovely to grow up with nature in your backyard, literally everything at your fingertips?

However, I am sure that if I were to venture to that point after being exposed to technology now, I would greatly wish to return, unfortunately.

"if your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever.

If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on".
