My reaction to a lot of this was just like, nodding and thinking “That's clever, I get it” (or reading a footnote and then being like “now I get it”). Like I get what it's doing as a Gothic parody but because of that I wasn't particularly engaged with the characters. Like obviously Austen is an iconic writer but this just isn't my fav of hers.
