But her weapons really are, all, activities that have been stereotyped as passive, aimless wastes of time: buying clothes, holding conversations, watching shows. <br /><br />Li-ching Chen wrote <a href="http://www.academia.edu/8401394/_But_I_Do_My_Own_Way_Mrs._Mittins_Autonomy_and_Quest_for_Respectability_in_Frances_Burneys_Camilla_" rel="nofollow">an essay</a> that describes her better than I have: "Mrs. Mittin is autonomous as long as she makes the choices and her temporary subservience does not conflict with her perspective as a whole."<br /> Umbagollahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556344092820711893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424364424049242300.post-60356703115568199622016-04-10T13:25:58.136+10:002016-04-10T13:25:58.136+10:00it's impressive, the amount of thought and con...it's impressive, the amount of thought and concentration you put into these posts. i for one greatly enjoy pondering over them... Ms. Mittin is a very interesting character study: somewhat an exemplar of passive resistance, whether or not her strength comes from intention or from innativity. the quotes made me think of Ghandi and his struggle with the British... it's amazing the depths you've unearthed in these novels; i think you ought to publish a paper on your research and get some credit for your work...Mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194891656971454279noreply@blogger.com
