Among the three sisters, only the younger sister is good-looking, but her black hair and wheat-colored skin really don't look like her own.
Anyway, although Mary is often attacked for being weird, she is the smartest among the three sisters. In terms of IQ, he and Matthew are no match for each other, so it is possible to show each other with sincerity. Sybil often appears to be assertive, but it is clear that she is fearless out of ignorance, has a pure heart, but has not experienced the hardships of the world, and goes to vote in by-election (someone in Congress dies or resigns) And the alternate election), the result hit the head, causing everyone to worry for a while. Not as sophisticated as Mary, knowing that being a woman can't change much even if she is elected.
The second sister, as the second child, has a strange temper, which is understandable. She can neither preserve the value of the family heritage like the eldest sister, nor is she treated at a young age like the younger sister. Standing at the door listening to my mother and eldest sister talking about herself, saying that compared with her eldest sister, she has nothing and is as light as a feather, and who is not sad?
Also like a man, because she cannot inherit the inheritance, she is often not the priority of the man, and the parents will give priority to the marriage of the eldest sister for the benefit of the family. The eldest cousin Patrick, the second cousin Matthew, and Sir Anthony, these are very suitable objects in the second sister's view, but they can only watch the eldest sister play with them in applause, not cherish them, have high eyebrows, and arrogantly reject people. Thousands of miles. The person I like was snatched by you, and you went to play with others, didn't you embarrass me, who can not be angry?
However, anger is anger, and the worst thing it should do is to affect IQ. How can I use my real name when writing a letter to the Turkish embassy? Although it will ruin the reputation of the eldest sister and achieve the purpose of revenge, it will not let outsiders see all the jokes, knowing that the Grantham sisters are not compatible, the eldest sister is lewd, and the second sister is jealous. The family puts itself in a passive position. (Speaking of which, how did it settle down later?)
The big sister is still smart, changing teeth for teeth, quietly, and the influence is also controlled within a controllable range. It's just a pity, I think the second sister and Sir Anthony are quite a good match, apart from the suppression of the eldest sister, in fact, the second sister is also a kind girl (often a kind and simple girl, the first attempt is forced to think of some decisiveness, or Speaking of a one-strand revenge way, not the kind of strict and well-planned way), and Anthony is mature and stable, and his memory of his deceased wife shows that a man's tenderness is the easiest to impress a woman. It's a shame it's yellow.
Women who know how to control themselves are sexy. In the last episode of the first season, she lost Matthew because she listened to her aunt's "advice", with pain and remorse, and her future became uncertain again, she couldn't help crying, covering her face. Carson comforted her as she cried, "You know me, I'm never down for long." Even though she was crying so sadly, when she said this, I couldn't help but want to give her a hug. "Everything will look better tomorrow morning." Cora's remarks certainly contain the hypocrisy of the upper class, but it also represents a kind of perseverance and dignity. When we encounter changes in life, we might as well make such a choice, down for a while, but not for long. Life moves on the next morning, like a self-respecting aristocrat.
===================================================== ==
The story takes place between 1912 and 1914, on the eve of the First World War, when the old order declined and the new order was constructed. Electric lights, telephones, cars, bicycles, a middle-class lawyer specializing in industrial labor law and his thriving career prospects, who would rather give up his aristocratic mansion career, prepare a maid who want to go to work in modern society, a woman's maid, and of course a feminist who is actively involved in politics Sybil, these things these people represent trends and the future, full of exhilarating passion/energy/youth/courage.
And just like what Mr. Grantham said, the entire Downton Abbey looks magnificent/sacred, but it is actually just a pile of boulders that may collapse at any time. pressing. As the old lady said, she knew that this family would collapse sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly and so closely. It is not too much to say that it is an English version of Dream of the Red Chamber.
But things of the past are of course not useless and should all be swept into the garbage heap of history. There must be a reason why the glory of the old days has existed for so long. Such as responsibility, loyalty, strong human touch.
I believe what impressed many people the most was how the family treated their old pal.
Matthew, who represents the power of the new generation, is disgusted with the existence of Morsley. He said that it is difficult to understand how a man can serve others for food and clothing. Do, as if oppressing and enslaving others, which we can all understand.
But the Earl is more than the young people think. Just because the times have changed, are we going to abandon these people who have served us for most of our lives? Do they deserve to be abandoned by the times? They are just loyal to their masters, loyal to the mission they have always been, the order and way of life that they have always been, diligent and conscientious. Everyone has their own place in the world. After a long time, they have deep feelings for their place. Forcibly driving them away is tantamount to demolishing their spiritual home. It is cruel and ungrateful.
The same goes for Carson, and the cook with cataracts, people who have served the family or family members for a long time, and shouldn't abandon them when they're embarrassed. Because of this, most of the old servants of the family are loyal and cherish their honor and dignity, because they represent the honor and dignity of the Grantham family. Mutual kindness and credibility are probably an indelible point in Grantham's aristocratic temperament.
This is difficult for people to experience in the later commercial society. People work hard in the company, but no one can guarantee that you will never be abandoned. When the economy is down, the company no longer has the obligation to share weal and woe with its employees. It is projected on personal emotions and the connection between people is no longer. As strong as ever. Sigh.
