We talk about how unsatisfying Ellen found several of these chapters, the role of gossip, the similarity between Elinor&#8217;s and Marianne&#8217;s situations, the importance of reputation, and whether the turnaround in our perception of Mrs Jennings was planned for by Jane Austen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discuss the character of Marianne, then Harriet\u2019s partner, Michael, talks about duelling in Regency England. Harriet talks about how the adaptations present these sections, and how the modernisations update the Willoughby-Colonel Brandon-Marianne stories.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Things we mention:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> References: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Claire Tomalin, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/50376.Jane_Austen\" target=\"_blank\">Jane Austen: A Life<\/a><\/em> (1997) <\/li><li>Dorothy L.
