The Queen's people, who are accustomed to the rainy weather, leisurely hold their umbrellas in the fog and rain in London, and are hopelessly fascinated by the half-dreams here. They smacked obscure and snarky jokes and roamed all the neighborhoods outside Buckingham Palace.
The hands of the clock are always fixed at four o'clock in the afternoon, an hour that belongs to the afterglow of a nap and afternoon tea.
The sidereal day at 23:56:04 and the never-ending sunlight, this is a legend about "the sun never sets".
Oz wrote that I am writing this because someone I love is dead, and I am writing this because I was filled with the power of love when I was young. Now that power of love is dying, and I don't want to die. Jane Austen probably had such a feeling when she wrote about women who had their own shadows but no destiny.
Women who generally pursue independence and stubbornness love Austin. Just like the thoughtful and emotionally determined heroine in "Gone Girl", in the carefree years of love, she and the hero also had a game of finding Austin among the bookshelves.
Probably because Austin doesn't have prince and princess endings, all of her heroines have happy endings. But "Sense and Sensibility" doesn't seem to be as complete as "Pride & Prejudice". If the Bennet sisters are a victory of almost stubborn persistence, then the Dashwood sisters are a game of compromise and fate.
I really can't think of anyone who is more suitable for the image of the British lover than Hugh Grant, a slightly dull gentleman, a shy and charming smile that hides the confusion, and a sad look that is silent and melts all love. Edward and Elinor have the same temperament, they are forbearing and restrained, and their ending is more like an absurd comedy.
My favorite, Marianne, seems to have gone through more. She is warm and emotional. The most touching thing about her is not the charming temperament of playing the piano and reading poetry, but the wanton and unsophisticated smile. Reborn from the ashes after the deadly heavy rain, I don't know if love also died, what I see is that her smile has become restrained since then. Col. Brandon is her best home, he loves her like guarding the soul of his ex-girlfriend and daughter.
So, Sense and Sensibility is more like real life?
Eliz is the image that girls yearn for and the object that boys chase. In fact, I have some doubts, whether it is more women or men who admire Eliz more. I was no longer young when I watched Pride and Prejudice. I once ridiculed Austen, saying that she was the originator of romance novels. If you ignore the age and take out the main plot of Pride and Prejudice, it will be a bad soap opera. Nothing hurts the young woman's love for Austen, just as Alexandre Dumas' popular novel remains a hit. Wilde said, "Most people live for love and praise. But we should live by love and praise. With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who can not be happy?"
