After watching 1995’s “PERSUASION”, I noticed that director Roger Michell shot a lot of scenes featuring the main characters either eating a meal or a snack. Because I found myself bored at the moment, I decided to post some scenes from various Jane Austen television and movie adaptations with her characters enjoying food:
JANE AUSTEN AND MEALS
From “SENSE AND SENSIBILITY” Adaptations
From “PRIDE AND PREJUDICE” Adaptations
From “MANSFIELD PARK” Adaptations
From “EMMA” Adaptations
From “PERSUASION” Adaptations
As hard as I tried, I could not find any interesting meal scenes from the 1986 and 2007 adaptations of “NORTHANGER ABBEY”.

ha’… I wonder why she wrote so many meal scenes. There are lot of inactive scenes in general. It might have something to do with the female image during that period of time.
