Willoughby Thinks About Marianne
"Willoughby could not hear of her marriage without a pang... he long thought of Colonel Brandon with envy, and of Marianne with regret...he always retained that decided regard ...and made her his secret standard of perfection in woman; and many a rising beauty would be slighted by him in after-days as bearing no comparison with Mrs. Brandon."
- Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility, C50
Many of us want our exes to still think of us, to regret their behaviour and/or the break up. Marianne has the ultimate revenge; not only is she whole heartedly devoted to her husband (success is the best revenge after all) but Willoughby can't forget her.
It's debatable whether it was hard for Willoughby to leave Marianne. Though "he strongly partook of the emotion which over-powered Marianne" in their last individual meeting, it was his choice to leave and not propose as he has intended. He may have been fooling himself thinking that he would propose, he certainly had no issues abandoning Eliza Williams - perhaps his involvement with her, a much younger woman, puts him in the category of groomer with Wickham.
It should be noted that Austen does have a thing about men with the initial "W." As discussed in a podcast episode she sends two Williams to sea, she doesn't like either Sir Walter or William Walter Elliot in Persuasion (though Wentworth skirts this trend). Amme asks, quite reasonably, what William hurt her? Someone with the initial W did at some point.
If you'd like to discuss Austen with me you can book a Read With Me session

Actors are agents of change.
I wanted to post this on the 14th January, but I got caught speaking with @painted-in-ink all day long, about star wars, and well. I didn’t post anything. Although, thanks because you made a sad day for me a happier one!
I can’t express how much I miss Alan Rickman, and how important he was to me. I will never forget him.

Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon
Willoughby makes me despise him more when you consider me made Alan Rickman-- sorry, Colonel Brandon in “Sense and Sensibility” look like this:
In other news, I love this film.

“Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience—or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope.”
