Reading
I have 100++ pages left until the end of "Mansfield Park". There's this certain scene where I cringed (and went "OMG" & "No no") while going through it. At the same time, I couldn't help comparing it to a similar scene in "Pride and Prejudice". This character is more proud and forceful (the Japanese word gouin 強引 came to mind) which doesn't help in making the character likeable to the main character. Also, I find it interesting that there weren't even conversations (just sentences and paragraphs to show what happened) which made me think, "It doesn't really matter."
Well, it might end up differently from what I have in mind (I've been reading while composing this post haha)...
