Mark Twain hated Jane Austen #shorts

Makes me rethink Mark Twain. I had no idea. I love Jane Austen. But he was a man of his time... sexist.

The fact that he said "every time I read pride and prejudice". Meaning he's read it several times. Contradicts that he claims he hates it.

I wonder what Mr. Clemens really thought though

I'm guessing it's because of the way she portrays european nobility as anything other than evil

Mark Twain HATED the concept of Monarchy like with a genuine passion.

Its why one of his most famous works, a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs court was so despised in the U.K when it came out

Because he did not hold back at all

THERE were two “Reigns of Terror, ” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves. Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
