Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading passage.
Both the reading passage and the lecture are discussing about whether the woman in the portrait is Jane Austen or not. In fact, what is said in the lecturer challenges what is stated in the reading. So, the lecturer gives three firm reasons to oppose the arguments of the reading passage.
The first reason is associated with the permission of Jane Austen's family. It is shown in the reading passage that her descendants gave the permission of using the portrait as an edition of her letters few decades after Austen's death. However, the lecturer purposes that the thing happened seventy years after Austen's death, which means that the one who gave the permission had never see her before.
The second reason involves how the woman in the portrait looks like Austen. The statement held by the writer claims that it looks like Cassandra's sketch. Cassandra is the one who used to depict Austen. In contrast, it is argued in the listening part. And the lecturer gives an example that since she had a big family, she must have a lot of female cousins who are teenagers at that time and look resemble her, too.
The third reason involves the age of the portrait. While the reading passage indicates that the painting was painted at the time when Austen was a teenager. The lecturer points out that the reason why the reading passage stated that is only because if the painting style. In order to build a solid and concrete statement, the lecturer convinces us by offering the reasoning that when we look at the stamp on the portrait, the one who sold it had not sale things there until Austen was twenty seven years old. So, if the woman on the portrait was Austen she must look older than it is now.
In conclusion, at first glance, the argument in the reading passage seems somewhat convincing. However, based on the evidences that the lecturer provided, the lecturer refutes the points made in the reading part.
