 Love and Freindship
comment
Love and Freindship [sic] is an early work by Jane Austen, never published in her lifetime. It mercilessly parodies the literary works of her time, much in the vein of the satiric aspects of Northanger Abbey.Not to be confused with the 2016 film Love And Friendship — an adaptation of a completely unrelated early, posthumously-published Austen work Lady Susan.Text here.

Inherited Illiteracy Title
 Love and Freindship / int_2f8795ed
comment
Inherited Illiteracy Title: As in the title, the word "friend" is always written as "freind," along with a number of other misspellings. The misspellings are all Austen's (she wrote the story at age 14). She corrected the spelling later in life, but editors of her work tend to leave it uncorrected as they think it's charming.

Sacred Hospitality: Laura, Sophia, and their husbands abuse hospitality freely. They rudely snub Edward's aunt's invitation. At MacDonald's, they persuade his daughter to run off with a fortune-hunter, and then rob him.

The Ophelia
 Love and Freindship / int_6d89ad1a
comment
The Ophelia: Parodied when the husbands of the two heroines suddenly die in front of them. Each heroine exhibits a standard Gothic romance reaction — one swoons, while the other has a fit of madness. The latter proves the healthier choice, as lying unconscious for two hours on the wet grass gives the other girl a cold that ultimately kills her, and she dies exhorting her friend "Beware of swoons, dear Laura. . . . A frenzy fit is not one quarter so pernicious; it is an exercise to the Body and if not too violent, is I dare say conducive to Health in its consequences—Run mad as often as you chuse; but do not faint."

Tyop on the Cover: Preserved from the original manuscript. Austen wrote it when she was fourteen and didn't intend for it to be published. In addition, the "I before E except after C" rule had not been codified at that point.

Moral Myopia: Sophia and Laura's concern extends solely to those they approve of — those, in fact, who act like characters in a novel. They abuse Sacred Hospitality by persuading a man's daughter to run off with a fortune-hunter and steal from him with clear consciences.
