literatemouse 's review for:

Lady Susan by Jane Austen
2.0
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No

Probably one of the first pieces of classic literature I’ve read willingly outside of schooling (and my first piece of work from Jane Austen) It took me a while to get into it but once Frederica started to play a bigger part I got more invested. Lady Susan was AWFUL, and I wish she got a worse ending after everything she done – especially to Frederica. Honestly the main thing I took away from this was that men are fickle, dumb and unbelievably naive even back in the 1700’s… guess things never change with the male species

Edit : I’m very confused on a lot of the reviews that are saying they found this funny? I found it almost upsetting! A women going around trying to break up families for her own entertainment, and neglecting and practically mentally abusing her 15 year old daughter… what’s funnnyyyy? I’m so confused right now I feel like I missed something??
