Emma ‧ 1815
Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
People, this says, warm up quickly to anyone caught in an interesting situation. A young person who marries or dies is sure to be spoken of kindly. It's a dry, slightly mocking observation that goodwill often follows drama and circumstance rather than careful judgment.
