Gosh I love small fandoms where everyone is equally insane and everyone's just making references to the source material.

Like, I can go "y'all I just saw a badger, I sure hope he doesn't become King of England" and everyone will get what I'm talking about while people who aren't in the fandom are confused as shit.

melyzard replied to this post:

You know, given that P&P was published in 1813 before the 1696 window tax was repealed, she might just be admiring both the outdoors AND the expansive and numerous windows themselves. I mean, good windows really were a big sign of wealth and consequence until 1851 when the tax was finally repealed. But yeah,also,yeah, she's definitely more interested in the outdoors than the Great Chimney Places of the Wealthy

It's true that windows were a major status symbol at the time and long before, but I don't think Elizabeth much cares about that, in all honesty! That is the relevant historical context for Mr Collins's rhapsodies over Rosings' windows, for instance:

she could not be in such raptures as Mr Collins expected the scene to inspire, and was but slightly affected by his enumeration of the windows in front of the house, and his relation of what the glazing altogether had originally cost Sir Lewis de Bourgh

He's silly but he's not mistaken in identifying the windows as a significant status symbol (which without that cultural context can seem like just another Mr Collins absurdity). But Elizabeth specifically, as a person, is consistently not very interested in these kinds of status symbols (though she knows they're there and understands what they signify). She is attracted to natural beauty and unassuming elegance, which is the overwhelming note at Pemberley:

She had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste.

Even when it does come to Pemberley's expensive interior, she focuses on the aesthetic dissimilarity to Rosings and, even more, about what is suggested about Darcy's relationships to other people dependent on him (Elizabeth's takeaway from the pretty interior decorating project for Georgiana is "He is certainly a good brother" and not how much disposable income this represents, say).

The fuller quote when she first approaches the window is pretty clear about what Elizabeth is focusing on, IMO:

Elizabeth, after slightly surveying it, went to a window to enjoy its prospect. The hill, crowned with wood, from which they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance, was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks, and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it, with delight. As they passed into other rooms, these objects were taking different positions; but from every window there were beauties to be seen.

I can’t believe in 2024 this really needs to be a thing that is said but just because drivers have more money than we could ever imagine and have the privilege and luxury of going wherever they want on a complete whim like yeah mans truly could hop on a private jet in an hour and fly straight to the other side of the world, that doesn’t mean they aren’t lonely. wealth and disposable income isn’t a solution to strong relationships and a lack of loneliness. fame looks fucking lonely. never knowing if the people surrounding you are there for the right reasons. the people you knew from childhood not sticking it out with you and the loss of those relationships. how few people would take on that struggle of their relationship (whether platonic or romantic) being consistently ripped to shreds and the involvement of literally the whole world in their business. and to take this stance about the driver on the grid that has arguably been the most open and vocal about his mental health struggles, a guy who has a high proportion of crazy fans who consistently get themselves involved in his personal relationships, is a really fucking bold stance to take. if it was said jokingly, if it was ‘satire’, it really wasn’t that fucking funny when there are people that genuinely believe the things said in that video and it acc raises a really important discussion to have.
