Jane, you are always my love

If someone asks me which book is my favorite, that must be "Pride and Prejudice". I read it when I was only 12 or so. Because of my father's Literary Interests, there are a entire cabinet of books, most of which are foreign literatures, as Honoré de Balzac, Stendhal, Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas and so on. He gave all he had to possess them, and my mother even today often complains him about paying his debt when they got married.
As my father loves the kind of Realism, I found them meaningful, but less interesting.
The matter have been changed by Jane, and her "Pride and Prejudice". Even now I could recall my memory of the first time of reading it--although I have read it 10 times in Chinese or English, avarice is never satisfied until it was finished, that whole afternoon I was deaf. My parents was amazed by my fonding of this book, I was not that kind of girl eager to do reading.
Fitzwilliam. Robinson. Henry. Darcy, of cause, Mr. Darcy was the one fascinating to a girl like me, he even played a big part in shaping my dreamed lover, until now.
I love Jane, for her sincere hope of pure love and a whole life to pursue it.
I love Jane, for her unyielding attitudes toward money and power.
I love Jane, for her wisdom knowing what is what.
I love Jane, always, not only the best wishes she had been given to characters in her novel, but also the hope for us the readers all over the world from now and then.

Becoming Jane quotes

  • Judge Langlois: Wild companions, gambling, running around St James's like a neck-or-nothing young blood of the fancy. What kind of lawyer will that make?

    Tom Lefroy: Typical.

  • Tom Lefroy: I have been told there is much to see upon a walk, but all I've detected so far is a general tendency to green above and brown below.

    Jane Austen: Yes, well, others have detected more. It is celebrated. There's even a book about Selborne Wood.

    Tom Lefroy: Oh. A novel, perhaps?

    Jane Austen: Novels? Being poor, insipid things, read by mere women, even, God forbid, written by mere women?.

    Tom Lefroy: I see, we're talking of your reading.

    Jane Austen: As if the writing of women did not display the greatest powers of mind, knowledge of human nature, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour and the best-chosen language imaginable?
