The Industrial Age Paradigm of British Classical Love

I'm reluctant to admit it, but I see the paradigm of Jane Austen's love. British novelists may have been greatly influenced by Jane Austen, so that in post-industrial Britain, the form of love displayed is still the form of the pastoral classical era.

In fact, I watched "South and North" because of Thorin. The ending of Thorin's death at the end of the "The Hobbit" trilogy made me very uncomfortable (my favorite Thorin and the wood elf love Leach died. Woohoo), I only found out that I had acted in "South and North" after searching for actors, so I fell into the pit perfectly. The tyrannical image of the first meeting cannot hide the charm of Holden. Of course, the heroine is aware of the power and charm of Holden, who is standing on the top and watching the operation of the factory, but she is very firm in setting up prejudices, which is simply "Pride and Prejudice". A remake of the Industrial Age. There are important emotional plot changes in many places. The heroine was unfortunately stoned when Horton faced the workers who were on strike. Horton confessed and learned that the heroine had also rejected the jealousy of other men, and misunderstood the heroine and escaped. The older brother who is away is a lover, but he still settles the trouble for her. The heroine's parents both died and left, and the male protagonist goes bankrupt. Finally, they meet at the station. Finally, the two understand each other's intentions and have a happy ending. What has changed subtly is the conversation and study between Holden and the heroine's father, the heroine's understanding of Holden in the Holden factory and the interaction with the Holden workers has deepened, and the heroine's eyes are concerned when the rival appears. Although there are only a few minutes of touching hands and kissing at the end, if you carefully examine the emotional development and relationship changes between the two, you can find many subtleties. There are still many contacts between the two, plus the presentation of social background. It is also very appropriate and even complements the various contradictions and human choices of the British industrial town in the industrial age that we can't imagine, so that the emotions of the male and female protagonists occur in the real background, and they are also presented without losing the focus. The BBC adaptation is really good.

The last sugar can make people sweeter than the standard. Sure enough, there are too many industrial sugar production now. This natural restraint and real emotion can only be presented in the form of classical love.

North & South quotes

  • Hannah Thornton: A mother's love holds fast and forever. A girl's love is like a puff of smoke - it changes with every wind.

  • Margaret Hale: I wish I could tell you how lonely I am. How cold and harsh it is here. Everywhere there is conflict and unkindness. I think God has forsaken this place. I believe I have seen hell and it's white, it's snow-white.
