Reading Log Post #6

Told 'ya I'd be back later!  Still dragging out Northanger Abbey...

Book: Northanger Abbey
Author: Jane Austen
Pages:44-100 (woohoo! Quota reached!))
Icon: Ethics (I think...)

This post will be about our protagonist's (Catherine's) best friend in the city of Bath.  Her name is Isabella and she is around Catherine's age (I don't believe it specifies in the book).  Like Catherine, she finds great entertainmaent in dark, mysterious novels, and is thus greatly compatible with her friend on that level.  On the other hand, Isabella can be quite annoying, seeing as she must have Catherine with her at all times, but will often desert her at a formal party or dance.  For example, at one point in the story Catherine is torn between taking a carriage ride with Isabella and her brother, and meeting her other friend's sister.  Isabella at first tries to convince Catherine to go with them by using sweet tactics and when Catherine refuses her words turn nasty.

At least, Isabella can be a bit annoying to me.  :D
