The woman named Jane Austen

Many people like her "Pride and Prejudice".
My favorite is Sense and Sensibility. The first time I came into contact with "Sense and Sensibility" came from the film of the same name adapted by Ang Lee in 1995. Emma Thompson's performance shocked me - when the misunderstanding was solved, I burst into tears of joy. Seeing this scene, the hearts of the audience also seem to have changed from extreme constriction to extreme trembling. Ang Lee's greatness lies in this, but the remake of foreign masterpieces has captured the delicateness of China.
There is also the book "Mansfield Manor". I don't like the latest film adaptation. Although there are gorgeous skills and productions and big stars, I only like the TV series adapted by BBC in 83, with beautiful music and beautiful ending. Every time the theme song plays, I suspect that in that era, the era of Jane Austen, a story about happiness is told lightly and naturally.
I fell in love with Jane Austen's books, but never knew about Jane Austen. Writers are forever immortal works. But today, after reading "Becoming Jane Austen", I found that Jane Austen's own story is also a legend, not even inferior to her works, but the endings of her works are often fairy tales. "Finally married", but she herself never married.
At first I thought that love had been "betrayed", but in the end, I found that "betrayal" was a responsibility to a family. Love, family responsibilities, and money are all entangled in this way, but Jane Austen, a smart woman, has made a bold choice among the complicated three. If love loses its responsibility, it will be depressed and faded. This time, "reason" triumphed over "emotion," not that "emotion" disappeared, it just existed in a different way—not the way of marriage.
In the end, when the great writer met the justice, the two smiled at each other, the love did not fade and fade, it lasted forever in another way.

    The story is too thin. It's rare to write about the second child, George, who has a problem with his brain, the one who went to church with his family. However, it is said that George has never shown up with his family in history...

    There is really nothing more sad than love that is destroyed by reality, because it has not lost to something particularly grandiose, so it is particularly powerless.

Becoming Jane quotes

    Jane Austen: Inconsciousness!

    Tom Lefroy: It was... It was accomplished.

    Jane Austen: It was ironic.

  • Jane Austen: This, by the way, is called a country dance, after the French, contredanse. Not because it is exhibited at an uncouth rural assembly with glutinous pies, execrable Madeira, and truly anarchic dancing.

    Tom Lefroy: You judge the company severely, madam.

    Jane Austen: I was describing what you'd be thinking.

    Tom Lefroy: Allow me to think for myself.

    Jane Austen: Gives me leave to do the same, sir, and come to a different conclusion.
