A review by bill_y
The Beautifull Cassandra by Jane Austen
4.0
My thoughts and summaries of each story goes as follows:
JACK AND ALICE
-Alice is a young alcoholic in love with a 55 year old man, which sounds a lot like Mary Kate Olsen
-Lucy is a young woman who is also in love with the same 55 year old man, confesses her love, then leaves with a broken leg. Alice’s old lady friend stumbles upon an injured Lucy and sets her leg back together??! Crazy
-Lucy is murdered at 17. The old lady friend ends up marrying the 55 year old man. Plot twist.
HENRY AND ELIZA
-Eliza is found in a hay bale on a lonely couple’s estate. They take her under their wings and raise her.
-Eliza tried to steal $1200, so she is kicked out. She meets a really nice woman and her fiancée who she instantly befriends.
-She marries that fiancée, has two babies, gets locked in a dungeon, escapes, then goes back home.
-Her “adopted” mother is super excited to have Eliza back because she realizes that she is her biological daughter. Apparently the mom had a baby while the dad was away, and seeing that Eliza wasn’t a boy, she hid Eliza in a hay bale and casually left her there for a few weeks.
-how Eliza is alive, I don’t know. But after the mom literally says she forgot she had a baby, she forgives Eliza for trying to steal $1200 from the family. Happy ending
THE BEAUTIFULL CASSANDRA
-she wreaks havoc on the city for a day.
-the line “Cassandra started and Maria seemed surprised; they trembled, blushed…” convinced me that Cassandra is gay
