This is really a tight-knit family, a big family, including the servants in it. There is mutual competition, tearing, and even jealousy. For example, the sisters Mary and Edith. You will think, are they really biological sisters? I think it is precisely because of the fact that sisters are like this, especially in that era, the thing for women is to stay at home, maintain a good reputation and wait for a man to marry them, which intensifies the competition between sisters.
Mary, a proud and capricious princess. This pride and self-will is naturally based on the wealth of her family and her own beauty and youth. She kept saying that she wanted to find someone she loved to spend her life with, but she obviously overestimated her ability to give for love. As her aunt said, you are the sister who needs this kind of wealth the most. All she wanted was a touch of freshness, excitement and fun in this rich and boring life. Thus, she would be captivated by the adventurous romance of the Duke of Crowborough, fascinated by the provocation and excitement of foreign friends, and will win the attention of Earl Anthony in order to compete with her sister. In short, her love is nothing but a beautiful piece of paper wrapped around a playful toy. But you have to admit that she has this kind of capital, attracting men, and even playing their attention to her with applause. When I write this, I feel that I am her sister Edith, and I am full of jealous feelings.
Edith, the daughter in the middle, is really not that good-looking, and even suffers from the neglect of her mother. Her parents were quietly thinking that she would not get married and could only stay at home. Every time she chases objects her sister has abandoned, from her cousin who died unexpectedly, to Matthew, to Earl Anthony. Perhaps, it was because she grew up in a sky with a lack of attention that she would be willing to really listen to the pain of someone's dead wife, and would be so happy when someone was finally willing to take the initiative to invite her out to a concert, She was so happy when someone finally proposed to her. At least for the first time, she seemed to have won over her sister, surprising her parents. She went to ruin her sister's reputation, but her sister still proposed as firm as a man. But her sister effortlessly crushed her only chance to propose. We are so close, so, can be so bloody.
Sibol, the youngest sister, is a girl, but is passionate about politics and feminism. However, the embarrassment encountered by this kind of independence is that when her father asked her, where can you go, she could only answer by saying that I didn't think about it for the time being. She and the maid had to walk home when their carriage broke down on the way home. These things will happen over and over again for anyone trying to achieve what they want.
This British drama is really restrained. The feelings in the heart are so deep, but the ones on the face are so shallow, but they can be felt.
