No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or improperly will be most endearing to the latter. -But not one of these grave reflections troubled the tranquility of Catherine" (Austen 47). ]]> 2018-04-15 18:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251914504 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251914900 1. "No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her better for it." Catherine's appearance will not change how others think of her.
2. "Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone." states how Jane Austen believes woman are independent. 
3. "The tranquility of Catherine." describes her mood being relaxed and easy going.

She was tired of the woods and the shrubberies - always so smooth and so dry; and the Abbey in itself was no more to her now than any other house. The painful rememberence of the folly it had helped nourish and perfect, was the only emotion which could spring from consideration of the building. What a revolution in her ideas! she, who had longed to be in an abbey" (Austen 150). ]]> 2018-04-15 18:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251917877 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251918838 "The visions of romance were over. Catherine was completely awakened. Henry's address, short as it had been, had more thoroughly opened her eyes to the extravagance of her late fancies than all their several disappointments had done. Most grievously was she humbled. Most bitterly did she cry. It was not only with herself that she was sunk - but with Henry. Her folly, which now seemed even criminal, was all exposed to him, and he must despite her for ever" (Austen 140). ]]> 2018-04-15 18:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251918838 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251919080 1. Shorter, more to the point sentences. 
2. "He must despite her for ever" is a hyperbole exaggerating Henry's feelings about her foolishness. 
3. "The visions of romance were over. Catherine was completely awakened." explains her realization to what is going on. 
4. "Her folly which now seemed even criminal." This statement has a touch of personification to explain Catherine's feelings. ]]> 2018-04-15 18:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251919080 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251953318 1. Jane Austen makes a statement that no matter what you look like people will think of you the same is saying that it is about personality. Looks are not as important as people believe them to be. Austen puts more real life lessons and scenarios in the novel as Catherine goes throughout events and relationships. 
2. Jane Austen saying this shows that in the novel, she believes woman are strong and independent. Which helps with the development of Catherine's personality. It shows that Catherine does not need anyone's satisfaction. 
3. Saying that Catherine is tranquil gives us a better understanding of her personality, which is easy going. It also adds to the passage that even though there are prettier girls, she did not care and that did not ruin her mood. She makes the best of her time and that is an important point that Austen adds to this novel.
4. The third person narrative gives the reader a look at what Catherine is feeling and doing while not being directly spoken as her. ]]> 2018-04-16 00:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/251953318 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/252158762 1. The shorter sentences are more straightforward which draws the importance to what is being said. It also draws attention to Catherine's mood in the passage which is more upset. Jane Austen changed how the narrator sounded to make it clear how Catherine was feeling. 
2. The hyperbole is put in to really clarify how much this is affecting Catherine. She feels as if Henry will have to despise her for ever which will not happen. It also shows a bit of humor which is present throughout the book because though this is added in, Henry and Catherine end up getting married, which seemed obvious throughout the novel. 
3. The use of the word awakened is not meaning to wake up from sleep but to wake up to life, to what is happening. Catherine's idealistic world was over and she was brought out of her silly delusions. 
4. Silliness can't be a crime, necessarily, but the use of this phrase by Jane Austen gives the reader's an understanding of what Catherine feels. Catherine thinks that her actions of folly were so bad, they could be considered a crime yet it was just a part of her personality. ]]> 2018-04-16 14:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/252158762 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/253088598 1. "She was tired of the woods and shrubberies - always so smooth and so dry." The use of imagery describes her feelings toward the house. 
2. "The painful remembrance of the folly..." Catherine's feeling of folly is described as painful as the tone changes. 
3. "...perfect, was the only emotion which could spring from consideration of the building." Personification is used to describe the abbey. 
4. The passage shows Catherine is now back to reality. ]]> 2018-04-18 16:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/253088598 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/253232088 1. The use of imagery to describe the trees and shrubs makes it seem boring. The word tired also describes that the house she had such a big imagination now is not what she thought. Catherine's mood is now dull. 
2. Throughout the novel Catherine has a folly attitude, fun and joking. This mood and her love for reading gothic novels sparked her imagination that the house was some myserteous place. Once she walks the house and realizes that it is just an ordinary home, her mood completely changes and is described as painful that she even had those fantasies. 
3. The building after all was nothing but just a normal house, but even then, Catherine saw the abbey as perfect. She always wanted to live in an abbey so she still thought of the house as something great. 
4. Overall, this passage finally has Catherine realizing that her gothic novel fantasies of things, such as the house, were never going to be real. Jane Austen bring her back to realizing the reality of things as they actually are. This shows Austen's view on life as it actually is, which hints that she is a realist because many times in the novel things are said the way they are in real life. ]]> 2018-04-18 23:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/253232088 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/253414467 1. Jane Austen sums up Henry and Catherine's marriage. 
2. "General's unjust interference, so far from being really injurious to the their felicity, was perhaps rather conducive to it, by improving their knowledge of each other, and adding strength to their attachment," This quote describes how their marriage became stronger. 
3. "To begin perfect happiness at the respective ages of twenty-six and eighteen, is to do pretty well." This opinion in the book shows how Jane Austen feels and why she choose the ages for marriage.
4. "I leave it to be settled by whomsoever it may concern, ..." This quote leaves the reader to reflect on the novel. ]]> 2018-04-19 13:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/253414467 alessyd https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/254059741 1. Overall Henry and Catherine are happy and have a good marriage as portrayed in the story. Austen's writing style is very realistic, which shows in this marriage. She ended it happily and with rough patches through the plot, such as General Tilney disapproving. Putting real life situations in to make the novel more relatable and being able to learn lessons and still be able to see a happy ending.
2. General Tilney did not approve of Catherine and Henry in the beginning and because of that Henry and Catherine were able to get to know each other better and mature more before marrying. Jane Austen is implying that since Tilney did not approve and since they did not get married right away they have a stronger bond and less chance of a divorce. Jane Austen is trying to use more realistic evidence in her novel, saying that it is better to wait than to jump into something because you think it is right. Sometimes though it will work out as in this case, but it was because they waited and matured more.
3. Saying to begin perfect happiness at ages 26 and 18 and stating that is to do well, is an opinion. Everyone has the right to decide when they think it is right that they are happy. Austen including this shows that she had Catherine and Henry marry and be happy at this time because she believes that marriage is the key to being perfectly happy and at those ages.
4. Jane Austen ends the novel with a quote telling the reader to make a decision on what they believe. She is not leaning one way or another on if parents should be strict or that children should not listen to their parents. Ending the novel this way shows that Austen likes to teach lessons but make the reader decide how to take them. ]]> 2018-04-21 15:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alessyd/9wxb8mwxh92c/wish/254059741
