How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
It's not really normal to do that. [...] Kind of slaps expectation on a relationship before it's begun. (2.63)
It's Jane's high expectations that lead to her dissatisfaction. Do you think Jane still has high expectations for her relationship with Henry at the end of the book?
Quote #5
All this hoping and waiting is killing me. [...] It's time to embrace spinsterhood. (2.83)
Jane's coping strategy when dealing with disappointment needs some work. Giving up won't cut it. Good thing she's all talk and no action. Or in this case, no inaction.
Quote #6
The less historical vigor observed, the more difficult it was for Jane to pretend that this whole exercise was anything beyond wish fulfillment. (4.27)
Even though she's barely been at Austenland a day, she's already disappointed with the lack of historical accuracy. When she reaps the rewards of Austenland's imperfections, though—like when she starts watching TV in Henry's secret-makeout-y cabin—she changes her tune.
