オースティンとセンシビリティー

The work of Jane Austen came between 1813 and 1818, which placed her novels in the Regency period. Different from the Victorian era, it was full of openness, candor, and satire. In addition, sentimentalism is one of the characters of the novels in this era and sentimental novels, where the emergence of feeling is considered as a guide to behavior, are popular. Generally, her work is considered refined, but it is affected by the era. One of her juvenilia, Love and Freindship, which is an epistolary novel, is not elegant but full of Austen\u27s critical spirit. Austen, though fourteen when she wrote it, tried to attack the public tendency to regard sensibility as important

ファニーと魔法の鏡

Different from other Austen\u27s heroines, Fanny Price in Mansfield Park seems to be quiet, innocent and rather hypocrite. Though even serious Sir Thomas Bertram is badly punished socially, only Fanny becomes happy in the end. This paper seeks the reason why no one but she captures the happiness in this novel. She knows the wonderfulness of memory so that she can understand other people. Namely she judges their human nature by her memory; what they did and what they thought in some situations. Each of them has a different memory from the same event, from which Fanny sees each of their characters. Henry Crawford, who is a sophisticated raconteur and yet degenerated wealthy man, has a good memory of visiting Sotherton Court because he enjoyed flirting with Maria Bertram there. On the other hand, Fanny takes that memory as inadmissible one. She cannot trust him because of his attitude. In the end, Henry Crawford elopes with Mrs. Rushworth. That is to say, as Fanny feels, everyone\u27s memory reveals their real natures just like the magic mirror of Snow White. Fanny has the magic mirror within her which tells her and everyone around her the moral judgments

Vanity Fair ベッキー シャープ ノ ジンブツ ビョウシャ ト ジダイ ノ ショウゾウ トシテノ サクヒン ノ セイカク

Vanity Fair : A Novel without a Hero is a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray (1811_63), first published in 1847_48, satirizing society in early nineteenth century Britain. The book\u27s title comes from John Bunyan\u27s allegorical story The Pilgrim\u27s Progress, first published in 1678 and still widely read at the time of Thackeray\u27s novel. Vanity Fair refers to a stop along the pilgrim\u27s progress : a never-ending fair held in a town called Vanity, which is meant to represent man\u27s sinful attachment to worldly things. The story opens at Miss Pinckerton\u27s Academy for Young Ladies, where the principal protagonists Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley have just completed their studies and are preparing to depart for Amelia\u27s house in Russell Square. Becky is portrayed as a strong-willed and cunning young woman determined to make her way in society, and Amelia Sedley as a good-natured, loveable, though simple-minded young girl. Becky Sharp, the anti-heroin and Amelia\u27s opposite, is an intelligent young woman with a gift for satire. Fluent in both French and English, Beckey has a beautiful singing voice, plays the piano, and shows great talent as an actress. Never having known financial or social security, Becky desires it above all things. She does nearly everything with the intention of securing a stable position for herself and her husband after she and Rawdon are married. She advances Rawdon\u27s interests tirelessly, flirting with men such as General Tufto and the Marquess of Steyne in order to get him promoted. Marrying Rawdon Crawley in secret was a mistake. She also fails to manipulate Miss Crawley through Rawdon so as to obtain an inheritance. Although Becky manipulates men very cleverly, she does not even try to cultivate the friendship of most women. Lady Jane, the Dobbin sisters, and Lady Steyne see right through her. Amelia and Miss Crawley are exceptions to the rule. What has to be noticed is that Becky plays an important part in Amelia\u27s marriage. After George Osborne\u27s death, Amelia is obsessed with her son and with the memory of her husband. She ignores William Dobbin who has courted her for years. Becky shows her George\u27s letter, and Amelia realizes what a good man Dobbin is. Amelia eventually marries Dobbin. Thackeray gives Becky the social mobility which makes her experience different social classes. Her social mobility makes her recognize the true value of Dobbin. Thackeray uses Beckey who experiences different social classes as the character who tells Amelia the true value of Dobbin
