* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Henry a good-humoured guy with his feet on the ground or is he a SmugSnake that's constantly condescending to Catherine?
** For that matter, how far wrong was Catherine's assessment of General Tilney? It is notable that even in his defence of his parents' relationship, Tilney admits that his mother 'had much to bear' and that his father's 'temper injured her' even while 'his judgement never did' - a very mealy-mouthed defence that strongly implies that General Tileny did ''harm'' his wife, even if it never escalated to murder or imprisonment.

* MisaimedFandom: Isabella's comments about her UndyingLoyalty for her friends occasionally show up online as "inspiration quotes". The problem is that these quotes, in context, are just set-ups for HypocriticalHumour punchlines -- they're not meant to be taken seriously. In fact, Catherine actually learns the importance of questioning your friends and sticking to your own morals.

* ValuesResonance: Isabella would probably be great friends with [[Film/MeanGirls Regina George]]. The dangers of toxic friendship, from the emotional pain of being mistreated by a supposed friend to getting enmeshed in bad behavior for the sake of the friendship, is a lesson that young adults must learn today as often as they did in the Regency.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: After the 2007 adaptation was broadcast, a letter to the ''Magazine/RadioTimes'' complained that the scriptwriter had added a jarring reference to baseball. That passage came word for word from the book. In fact, the OED records it as the first mention of baseball (by that name) in literature.

** John Thorpe describes someone as being "rich as a Jew". However, this is actually ValuesDissonance from John Thorpe, not from Jane Austen. [[FairForItsDay She indirectly criticizes his xenophobia earlier in the story.]] The SettingUpdate version from The Austen Project doesn't change this at all, with the result that John comes off much worse much more quickly.

** John Thorpe describes someone as being "rich as a Jew". However, this is actually ValuesDissonance from John Thorpe, not from Jane Austen. [[FairForItsDay She indirectly This ''was'' intended to put Thorpe in a bad light as a PoliticallyIncorrectVillain (Austen indrectly criticizes his xenophobia earlier in the story.]] story), but these remarks are much more shocking today than they were in the 19th century (where heroic characters in other novels say things like [[Literature/JaneEyre "I'm not in love with you for your land, what am I, Jewish?]]"). To modern eyes, this is instantly irredeemable and makes the reader wonder why James is best friends with a bigot, as opposed to it being just one of Thorpe's universally bad traits. The SettingUpdate version from The Austen Project doesn't change this at all, with the result that John comes off much worse much more quickly.
