The Pride and Prejudice of JRK
First off I must give you a sad admission for I degraded myself into reading Mugglenet, the people that had a loser interview with the traitor JRK in which they all mocked the True Fans of HP. I will not even bother to link to that most agravating thing because I can't bear to read those words one more time (the link is on the right side of this Action Blog). I only was reading Mugglenet because I was coming out of my series of depressions about H+H and I wanted to see if maybe JRK had recounted on her vow to keep them a part. Unfortunately there was no such joyful news but what I did see was this pole that shows why us True Fans are correct.
This pole asked people what their favorite books were that they could never part with, much like their True Love in papercover format. The results were:
1) Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 20%Well no duh! Notice how the greatest love story of all time (after Romeo and Juliet, a novel that is somehow absent from this pole?!) beats out the JeRK's books which betrayed their own love story? I think this is what scientists call a pattern. This got me thinking harder than ever about True Love and why Harry and Hermione are meant to be united as sweat hearts once and for all.
2) Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkein 17%
3) Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 14%
4) Harry Potter books - J K Rowling 12%
5) To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee 9.5%
6) The Bible 9%
7) Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte 8.5%
8) 1984 - George Orwell 6%
9) His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman 6%
10) Great Expectations - Charles Dickens .55%
In Pride and Prejudice, the True Lovers are seperated by cruel circumstances far beyond their control, much like the magic that keeps H+H a part. For those of you who don't know this great story, let me fill you in. It takes place in the olden days in England, not long after the days of Romeo and Juliet. The main characters are Elizabeth and Darcy. Darcy is very rich and at first seems like a bit of a mean person. There are lots of other characters and it gets pretty confusing at a lot of times but in the end, Elizabeth realizes that Darcy is actually not that mean and in fact he's super nice because he loves his sister. She freaks out when she realizes that she should have married him when she had the chance (hello, Hermione!) and they run and meet in a field and kiss right before the end of the movie. Lady Catherine is Darcy's mom and let me just say that she is definitely like JRK, she's old and really crotchy and most of all she tries to keep the True Lovers a part like her descender JRK. Also, there are Bingley and Mr. Collings who like Ron and Viktor Krum keep Elizabeth away from her True Love. Same with Anne de Burger who has an arranged marriage with Darcy. But in the end all of the slings and errors of fortune can't stop the love from coming together. I can't remember the historic background but I'm pretty sure Elizabeth becomes Queen and I think Darcy supports her until they both grow old.
Notice something here? The Pride of JRK is keeping her from admitting her mistake of keeping the True Love of Harry and Hermione a part. She has PREJUDICE against this True Love. I hope she can get past this but I am still extremely upset. Prejudice against love is like other prejudices, almost as bad as racism.
