We begin with a focus on Pride and Prejudice, overviewing the similarities between the character design of Kylo Ren and the much beloved Mr.Darcy. We discuss the Rey and Kylo Ren enemies to lovers ROMANTIC DRAMA promised by Rian Johnson, and how it compares to Lizzie and Darcy’s situation, right down to The Proposal of Doom. In our overview of other key literary references, we briefly discuss Wuthering Heights and its parallels to Reylo - but not in the way you expect. We also talk the Anne of Green Gables and West Side Story Reylo connection. We overview how themes of the heroine’s journey, female sexual awakening and exploration vs repression, virtue vs debauchery are portrayed in works like Jane Eyre, Sense and Sensibility, North and South, Pride and Prejudice - and in Rey’s character arc in the ST. We discuss the revolutionary portrayal of female agency in works like Jane Eyre, and why agency is an essential character trait in Rey. We believe that Rey and Ben’s separation at the end of TLJ is a painful but necessary development to establish Rey’s independence. It is also a necessary catalyst for Kylo Ren’s further character development and their eventual romance. Lastly, we contrast the approach to romance in Jane Austen’s work, including novels like Fanny Price and Persuasion, with Charlotte Brontë’s approach in Jane Eyre, and how it ties in with the Reylo dynamic. This is part 2 of our Literary References in Reylo podcast series. Part 1 of our discussion centers on Jane Eyre and North and South.
