Life and Reading

Life is interesting. When we're all associating with each other and comparing our thoughts and ideas that we have about life and literature, we might all come across many different perspectives that people have. The parody of a Gothic novel, like in Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen is a great example of how those perspectives that people can have on life and literature are portraying a very funny contrast between the upsides and the down sides of reasoning how it is that a person aught to be seen, how we all associate with each other (or should be for that matter), and most importantly, what it is the we all deserve when it comes to respecting character qualities. Jane Austen's novel as said in a foot note on page 30 to be a parody (or "mock Gothic"). She represents her thoughts on literature as incredibly valuable where "the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of it's varieties, the liveliest delineation of it's wit and humor are conveyed to the world in the best chosen language." This high respect for that novel idea is absolutely a very high respect for the values which can't be seen in Gothic literature. This story is all about respect and complements. People are who they are and they are humble or respected otherwise even despite any flaw in character. It is so cheery and bright that the very thought of insisting that there be any Gothic ideas of dreariness or rebels and enemies would only be humorous. Even despite Isabella being as small bit less respect worthy at times and any other negative judgement calls on a character,

Throughout the entire book, I found Catherine to be the exact opposite of a goth and all of the events throughout the story to be the exact opposite of Gothic entirely. Despite all said "ignorance" on Catherine's part, I believed it to be as symbolic of her nature in not understanding that she wasn't getting it that how much there was to be appreciated for. The other characters might very well have been speaking with better manors and much higher sophistication, in the end, I think she was simply amounting to everybody simply by fighting the entire idea of Gothic.

Catherine's ideas are very bright and thoughtful despite her feelings of inferiority and any other qualities she may have possessed which were in any cause of judgement still very gently regarded as nothing to fear. There were no seriously disturbing plot points nor were there any more worry some characteristics of others rather than perchance the misjudgment of others (on Catherine's part). Despite our supposed fears of any of the other characters being judgmental or overbearing, they all still maintained a very seriously important level of respect and high regards for each other in terms of acting in ways which should be respected as proper.

Interestingly enough, it appeared as though Jane Austen had proposed throughout the novel that people are all having conversations about ideas which are formed about each other throughout their lives. When she's speaking of families in this town of Bath and the mindful ventures of a new young woman to the town and her development of character and intellect, in relation to speaking of books, it seems right for her to inform us what she believes in, she's expressing quite a lot. From the most civilized and respectful standpoint, despite everybody else's convictions on life and each other (and all sorts of other ideas that we can note from the novel), I found that Catherine's true point of view expressed by the narrator was about how many people there were to be seen and heard and understood, and to be understood as respect-worthy. She meets a lot of people in Bath and she seems fairly wise in making judgement calls on everybody. There's a lot to say for their merit against any dark or dreary judgement calls.

The Gothic Phase was played a big role in the novel as brightener to the contrary of Gothic. The nature in contrast was even less dreary and ever so brighter because we had something so bright in comparison. It was in no way Gothic and or at all to be seen as ruining, harsh, or devastating. Catherine had every right and reason to be seen as a girl who deserved respect to her intelligence and encouragement. Perhaps there never was a change in her true character all along, but more of a realization that she had not been in the conversation enough in the first place in order to hear properly and see where the conversation was going. Although, she was not truly ignorant, nor should she have ever been ashamed, she has truly implied enough reasonably polite and ingeniousness in character before the conversations even became increasingly intellectual. People were having bright conversations and eliciting positive characteristics like maintaining a decent level of respect for each other (as in treating each other as "ladies," and "gentlemen." They also encourages strongly a lot of powerfully profound inspiring ideas for people to have more wit and sense when it belongs to the category of a novel which is positive with a heavenly ending.
