What advice would she get on here?
Since her books were based around her actual emotional journey which presumably is centred around the affection she experienced at the age of 20 which was short lived against her wishes. And interestingly the subject of her affection later described his love for her as “boyish love” and seemed to have moved on to live a rich life with a big family of his own while she was still struggling to obtain any form of closure, and it seemed her short lived love with him was rather defining for her fantasies.
What advice would you give her if she was alive today, but in a similar set up with social pressures from nobility etc .. assuming the happy endings of her book didn’t happen ( realistically the ending might’ve been her fantasy of what would happened in her real life).
Pride and prejudice - LTB he sneers at you and is verbally abusive. Block him and stop going to places where he is at so you can find it in you to move on. Put yourself first and let him deal with his own “emotional struggles”.
Persuasion - get a grip and move on, he probably already compartmentalised his pain from rejection and moved on. Even if you bump into him and it ignites old feelings, but you probably miss the person you were when you were together and the idea of him.
Sense and sensibility - get therapy for the loss of your father and try not to let your grieving cloud your judgement. He isn’t that into you otherwise he wouldn't leave you hanging.
:D
I do love Jane Austin and her books, just trying to be critical here 🤣
