The Pride and Prejudice of the Rich Second Generation Version

Daron 2022-01-08 08:02:46

Emma seems to be the rich second-generation version of Elizabeth, at first glance. But in fact, the two protagonists are much worse apart from being smart. A woman's cleverness and small tricks make her so much better than Lizzy. This may be related to the over-dependence of her father and father, or it may be related to her not having a mother who is as marketable as Lizzy. In short, this time, the Austin girl is a bit less stubborn with inferiority complex, and more is a bit arrogant to grow up with a silver spoon.
Some people say Emma is selfish, maybe she can't empathize with her. In fact, compared to the selfishness of everyone, the limitations of our heroine are already pitiful.
