Jane Austen's Fight Club
As an English teacher and lover of literature, I am not certain how to feel about all the things being done to Austen's works lately. TakePride and Prejudice and Zombies or Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monstersas two examples. I don't know why there is a modern tendency to mix Austen's era of manners with violence.
But as someone with a sense of humor, I also find all these parodies immensely entertaining. Today I discovered the newest addition to this growing trend: a faux movie trailer for something called Jane Austen's Fight Club.
My favorite part is when they are all dancing around the porch--rock on ladies!
