Beyond Pride and Prejudice, That's Love

I think I'm first and foremost outraged at the low status of this woman in society.
So for the first half hour, I almost clenched my fists and wanted to rush up and punch the mother, telling her that she didn't have to sell her daughter like a vegetable seller in front of men. Even without this man, there is another man.

I always thought that back then was much more open than it is now, and women's desire for men was more vividly displayed than in any era, and it was upright and undisguised.

It's kind of absurd.
I hate it in my heart. Are women destined to be only humble, waiting for men to come and favor?
As the woman said, I am 27 years old, I have no money and no future, I have already become a burden to my parents...
Who gave her such a thought?
Who told her that women were destined to end like this?

Fortunately, Lizzy has an understanding and intelligent father who, even in those days, still does his best to protect and respect any decision his daughters make.
He is good at listening and understanding, always making the most trustworthy move when it matters.

So the story is very complete, like a fairy tale ending.
I think that's because they haven't given up their expectations for love, although there are countless prejudices and fluctuations in the process.


I haven't watched the classic BBC version in 1995, but I really like Matthew MacFadyen here. Just like watching "Becoming Jane", I have always been attracted by James McAvoy. I like this with a shy A man with a shy expression but a warm heart, otherwise, they are kind and sincere.

Finally, I thought, this book, I have to read it right away.

    I have no worries or fears.

    The whole picture is very beautiful, and the choices of the people in the story ultimately guide it to what kind of life it will get.
