A review by blastoise
Catharine by Jane Austen

4.0

A lovely glimpse into Austen's young mind. With all her usual humor, wit, charm, and over-dramatic and hypocritical characters that our sharp protag sees right through but remains polite within the social decorum of the time.

I have read all of her works and this is what I think would have happened if it were finished:

Kitty, swooning over handsome but (not yet realized) wholly inadequate Edward, will become acquainted with the Wynne brother and/or Sir Peter. They will form a healthy friendship and attachement and be a superior comparison to Edward who is immature, vain, and cruel for playing with our heroine's feelings.

Edward will return after a time and Kitty, now having been acquainted with mature, respectful gentlemen, will realize with disappointment how inadequate and undeserving Edward is of her affection and dump his trash ass.

Edward will be shocked and struggle to cope with his injured vanity, and will try to win her, perhaps inadvertently realizing he fosters real feelings towards the superior Kitty.

Kitty, after some reflection and time to sort out her feelings from being manipulated by Edward, will realize that the man who deserves her and she him, will be Mr Wynne or the mysterious Sir Peter.

Either way somehow her beloved Wynne sisters will have been elevated from their poor situations and live happily ever after nearby Kitty and her new husband. Perhaps Sir Peter may fall for the single Wynne sister, thus being the salvation of their lowly situation. The married Wynne sister will not so tragically lose her old ass wank of a husband to some illness and be free to chill with Kitty and her sister and marry for happiness instead. THE END
