I know I just posted a blog and everything and that's great, but then I was thinking... (scary, I do that sometimes)... what do the people want? And is it sad that the answer I came up with is Twilight?
I was thinking the other day (again with the thinking, aaah!) about The Breakfast Club and how it supposedly defined/described an era. Then I was thinking about what movie would describe my teenage era and you know the sad thought that popped into my mind? I think you can guess. Starts with 'Twi' ends with 't'. No, not Twit, Twilight. And that made me a little upset. But hey, maybe we'll continue trashing the planet so by the time we're old and people are trying to define us, they won't need to because we'll all be dead. That's a cheery thought.
Anyway, I thought I would give a shot at describing Persuasion's plot, again, only this time trying, unsuccessfully I foresee, to draw parallels to Twilight. I hope this entertains at least me.
In Twilight's version of Persuasion, Anne is Edward and Captain Wentworth is Bella. Jacob represents all of Bella's other options (Louisa Musgrove). At the end of Twilight, Bella/Wentworth declare their undying love and wish to spend eternity with Edward/Anne. In the beginning of New Moon, Bella/Wentworth gets rejected. Burn.
(this is starting to confuse me already)
The end of New Moon is where Persuasions starts, however. Edward and Bella are reunited and it should normally be awkward. For Anne and Wentworth, it is. For Edward and Bella, they fight it and pretend everything is completely normal and one of them didn't totally crush the other, basically turning them into a zombie for half a year. Meanwhile Bella/Wentworth have been toying with their options. Hey, there's always Jacob/Louisa, right? Watching all of this, Edward/Anne are kind of tied up with all the pining they've been doing. Watching from afar, stalking, listening in on conversations, it gets tiring. But then, suddenly, all is clear both parties realize that they other has not forgotten loving them and they live happily ever after. Jacob/Louisa get together with the couple's baby and... wait. No, that's a bit to disturbing for Jane Austen. Scratch that romantic relationship with a baby part.
Obviously, Anne and Wentworth are the normal ones here. And I didn't even add in that Edward/Anne are vampires.
