As Jane Austenturns 40, her niece Fanny Knightenlists her aunt, who has written countless romance novels, to help her choose a husband. On the one hand, Jane insists on the indispensable status of love in the marriage relationship, on the other hand, the long-term hardship of life makes her know that love without economic foundation will not have good results. And Jane's contradictory attitudes also confused Fanny. When Jane was young, there were people who truly loved each other, but in the end they still went their separate ways due to financial reasons. And the adoration of true love made her reject the marriage proposal of a wealthy gentleman. In the end, Jane chose to live a single life without marrying, and she integrated her passion for love into her creations. Having chosen a different free life, has she ever regretted it

-
Mme. Bigeon: [late at night, both in nightgowns; strong French accent] My friend in Paris has read a wonderful new book called 'Raison and Sensibilite'
Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility?
Mme. Bigeon: My friend says, whoever the woman is who wrote this book, she knows more about love than anyone else in the world
Jane Austen: Like someone who can't cook writing a recipe book
Mme. Bigeon: Passion is for the young. It fades so quickly.
Jane Austen: [wistfully] Not in our dreams
Mme. Bigeon: Comfort remains, friendship remains, if you are lucky as I was.
Jane Austen: Happiness in marriage remains a matter of chance
Mme. Bigeon: But the fuss we make about who to choose. And love still dies and money still vanishes. And, spinster, lover, wife, every woman has regrets. So we read about your heroines and feel young again. And in love. And full of hope. As if we can make that choice again.
Jane Austen: And do it right this time
Mme. Bigeon: This is the gift which God has given you.
[Jane Austen looks up sharply]
Mme. Bigeon: It is enough, I think.
