I don’t want to comment too much on how “self-interested, materialistic and profit-oriented” Lady Susan is. The negative part of the character’s personality has been discussed by too many people. Today I just want to talk about how Austen provided contemporary women by portraying the image of Lady Susan. What a pragmatic life advice. It is undeniable that she is the red rose of a woman's public enemy, a man, and the saying is "the most flirt woman in Britain"! When a person can be labeled as the "most" by the public in a certain field or in a certain aspect, this can be described as the culmination. Up to now, Lady Susan should be the top one in public relations or the CEO of a fashion magazine. Lady Susan’s way of speaking is really worth learning. Adjectives such as retreating to advance, wanting to promote first, suppressing, stepping ahead, pushing the boat along the river, calm and rational, not in danger, etc. can all be put on her, because the film is well presented. She speaks the queen's aura. Whether communicating with men, such as Sir James, Mr. Reginald, or with a woman Mrs. Catherine Vernon, she is easy to handle. You can say that she is sophisticated and smooth, or that she knows to give full play to her gender and identity advantages, but it is undeniable She interprets well that any communication must be reserved and sensible. All the men in the film like her, and even Charles always defends her. This is the biggest irony! What's more ridiculous is that Lady Susan's words, deeds and values that seem to be spurned by millions of people feel a bit like an independent feminist that was rare in that era. Learn to speak well! Attach a letter from Lady Susan to Reginald I"I am much obliged to you, my dear Friend, for your advice respecting Mr. De Courcy, which I know was given with the full conviction of its expediency, though I am not quite determined on following it. I cannot easily resolve on anything so serious as marriage;
Little easter eggs:
1. Sir James Martin, who appeared crying, a bit of a "rattle", was originally a suitor of Frederica and Maria, which "the last silly person has a silly blessing" thought that he was a beautiful girl, but it is a perfect interpretation if you want to live a good life , How can there be no green on the head, and raise a baby for Manwaring for a lifetime!
2. Mr. Reginald Decourcy, who thought to be an absolute hero, will eventually fly into Lady Susan’s arms in self-blame and regret, as his sister said, and live a fairy tale life regardless of previous suspicions. Which screenwriter will go to outer space? , He finally married Miss Frederica Vernon, lady Susan's daughter, for a happy ending, and came to a wedding banquet for you and me.
3. Mr. right Mr. Manwaring by lady susan hasn't been alone in the whole film of Mr. Manwaring! It's so ridiculous! The only thing in the same frame is with Sir James. It's a happy three-person tour!
4. Isn't Lady Lucy a portrayal of many modern women who are weak by nature and who have been in the middle of a junior year? When I learned that my husband was cheating, I only knew that my relatives and friends could bully and blame the mistress, and waited wholeheartedly to beg her husband to return to the family! What can I miss for such a man! Isn't it the so-called husband who betrayed your inheritance who should be blamed and scolded by Xiao San?
5. Ms. Wendi Deng, Ms. Xiao Yaxuan, and Ms. Pei Xiuzhi, who are strongly inspired by many modern women to master male skills, their grandma should be Lady Susan!
