Thank you for stopping by and sharing your analysis! ! :-D I mean, really, I would have been happier if it ended with episode 7.

Does anyone recall a scene from Becoming Jane where she turns to her sister, Cassandra, and mentions that she will give all her heroines a happy ending in her honor (paraphrase). Wouldnt she at that point be as sharp-tongued as she was in her first balcony scene with him? Thats why it feels like a betrayal to people.

And would-be adaptors of her stories today should either honor her intentions (clearly shown by her finished works, her letters, and oft-quoted let other pens dwell on guilt and misery) or just leave Jane out of it and write their own story.
