A cool drama of sweet love. Even today, coming out is a matter of courage, let alone in the 1800s. I admire Lister's ability to recognize his sexual orientation, the oppression and restraint he has been subjected to as a woman, and his disdain for the world's vision. And Miss Walker overcame the restraint of religion and the spurn of relatives, overcame her over-sensitivity and unconfidence, and bravely accepted the lister who collapsed and was on the verge of bankruptcy, which is equally admirable!
Anne Lister has a strong personal charm, not only because she has no scruples like a man, but she also has a sensitive and fragile side, which makes her real enough. She always travels everywhere, because she is escaping from the love pain of her ex-girlfriend Mary, and avoiding the criticism of her by Halifax. When Mary questioned the upper class in Denmark see lister as some sort of novelty act, a clever court jester, an entertaining freak, and was ashamed of the many masculine behaviors of the lister before, I felt heartache. However, the lister didn’t care. On the one hand, she knew how broadly she was and knew that this was Mary’s narrow and stubborn opinion. On the other hand, she had already turned strong into her second instinct, which was the night before she and the walker parted. This can be seen in the dialogue: lister trains herself not to see or hear what people say and do until it has become second nature to her. but she forgets how impossible it is for someone else to rise above/accept that. but Walker came so close to it!!! It turns out that the lister will hide her face and cry, but she usually pretends to be strong and doesn't care about gossip. Fortunately, she met Walker, and waited until Walker saw through the unhappy nature of marriage, and waited until she conquered the world's vision, and finally nodded to her and said I am willing. This relationship has nothing to do with money, but two decent and honorable women who love each other sincerely. After going through so many hardships and the foreseeable more sadness after marriage, how can this "wedding" held in the church quietly not let people bless with tears!
