Is Sensibility Bustle's name a pun?
I was reading through the Tiffany Aching books and came across this name. It then hit me that "Sensibility" could derive from "Sense and Sensibility" and that it could be a pun on Jane Austen book names (or names within books) what with Darcey Bustle (a real life dancer) sharing a name with one of the main characters in Pride and Prejudice.
It seems like such a stretch though. Professor Dr Bustle is also not a dancer as far as I know.
Sensibility is also a term that refers to names that are considered fit for Christianity. So it seems there's a joke about just using Sensibility as a name in place of actually choosing a name that is "sensible."
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading.
