She had to wear the mantle of "the French lieutenant's woman" to find the man she hoped for.
The man in the town, needless to say that she dislikes her, and she must be different from the women in the town. I forgot whether it was mentioned in the movie or in the original book. She was just dressing the French lieutenant's wound. The love affair that went on came to an abrupt end one day. She was still a virgin until the day before she went to bed with the male lead. She got herself into a bad reputation, but in reality, she didn't have it. The freedom she longed for was not given by ordinary men. The respect she aspires to for women is not a product of a small British town.
So outstanding, she is destined to need a distinguished man. The French lieutenant who has traveled across the sea seems to be in line with her obsession, but that is only the beginning, he is not a decent man. And when she really met a gentleman, how could she be willing not to pull him off the horse? The long wait finally came to an end, and it just so happened that this man also fell in love with him.
But when she got this man physically, the uncertainty that followed came again, are they two compatible? To be precise, she thinks that she is not ready. Some people may think that she is too selfish, but I think she is just bold, a little self-abuse, and very courageous. She always knew exactly what she wanted, and I was wondering if she was ready for "martyrdom" when she put on the coat of "French Lieutenant's Woman", and she could really meet Mr. right? Or, if you lose a gamble, you will be left in a small town?
It can be said that the candlelight in her heart silently guided her to set foot on a thorn, and she was lucky to meet him when she was young! But not every woman has such luck. When a woman has a beautiful face and no wealth, who would choose such a thorn if she didn't have the courage to sink the boat? But when a woman, no matter how weak the candlelight in her heart, as long as she ignites desire, who would not choose such a thorn?
