Writing Critique #1

From the very beginning of Hannah's blog her use of words seen in the text and language from the time period of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth caught my attention. She clearly steps right into the shoes of Elizabeth and responds to Mr. Darcy's letter as she expects her to, based on what we have learned of her character thus far. I don't personally think Elizabeth would give in so easily to understanding Darcy's breaking up Jane and Mr. Bingley, but Hannah displays this idea very well. Despite her making Elizabeth seem to have completely changed from her strong and independent self, to a woman who succumbs so easily to the word of a man, I think Hannah's use of vocabulary and knowledge of the text makes this letter quality work. She succeeds in thoroughly displaying what she believes Elizabeth's reaction to be, not only towards the letter, but towards Darcy himself. This thought leads to predictions that could be made for the future of the text, which left me thinking. Good job Hannah :)
