We did go over chapters 46-50 before the test, so I wanted to give you the notes as well to study before taking the test.
46:
How has Marianne changed? ("calmness," "composure of mind," recognizes her "imprudence in insolence")pg. 289-293
How does she come to terms with Willoughby? (she calls him fickle, understands who he is, and will rely on 1. religion 2. reason and 3. constant employment to move forward)pg. 292-294
47:
Elinor gives 5 or so reasons why Marianne wouldn't be happy with W. name some of them: temporary affection, frugality, child out of wedlock, etc.
Look closely at how Thomas, the manservant, conveys the news about Lucy's marraige. How does everyone react? who is most upset? how do we know Elinor is affected? what info does he impart? what more do we learn about Lucy? (she tries to trick Elinor, she steals from her sister, thomas thinks it's edward too!)
48:
noone's written to Elinor about the wedding! why not?
Edward comes riding up to the house! everyone panic's - Elinor repeats to herself "I will be calm! I will be mistress of myself!"
another AWKWARD scene - everyone is holding their own feelings inside, there are so many secrets and misunderstandings in the room.
Elinor's reaction to the truth is interesting. she runs out! Edward then runs into town as well. the movie is different. I love the movie scene, so we watched it together. Here is the link
Edward proposes
49:
Edward and Elinor do a lot of talking and sharing and clarifying (finally!) they are engaged to be married, but money is still an obstacle.
How about Lucy's letter?! hysterical, right?! But, what is her true reason for eloping with Robert as stated in her letter? (Lucy knew she didn't have Edward's heart.) We all laughed at the P.S.
50:
Marianne - where she is know is super important. Her realizations, her actions her understandings. Read the last 3 pages closely. Austen says she was "born to an extraordinary fate."
