You've stumbled across my blog, so I should probably be all about the introductions, right? I'm Beth, I'm unfortunately now over thirty..., INFJ and English! Yes, that deserves an exclamation mark. Maybe. Possibly... I created this because I definitely need a place to...

So I've seen the GO2/Pride and Prejudice parallels but the more I think about it, the more I get Persuasion vibes:

  • Two characters very much in love, one declares their affection but the other rejects it, because they’ve been persuaded it’s a bad idea. Now, stick with me here – we know The Metatron didn’t try to convince Aziraphale to give up Crowley, but I’m imagining that the whole idea of inviting Crowley back to heaven was with the intention of breaking them up. Persuading Aziraphale that Heaven is the best place for him, and that he can do good there, is so similar to how Anne’s talked out of her match with Wentworth.
  • Anne’s family thoroughly disapproves of the match because the other isn’t good enough for them, not their family member but just them.
  • Her family also don’t give one damn about her, they’re both narcissists who seem to just use Anne when it suits them and drop her when she’s inconvenient. Sound familiar?
  • One of the characters ends up going far away after the ‘break up’ to put distance between them. (Yes I know, it’s Wentworth that goes off to sea but for the purposes of this, we have Aziraphale going to Heaven!)
  • The one who did the rejecting is heartbroken as well, and spends the rest of the years they’re apart berating themselves for having said no and allowing themselves to be persuaded.

“Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.”
