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.

    Every moment of this edition is so beautiful that I am fascinated by it. Especially the scene of Darcy walking towards Elizabeth from the morning mist in the field~

Pride & Prejudice quotes

  • Caroline Bingley: I can't help thinking that at some point someone is going to produce a piglet and we'll all have to chase it.

  • Caroline Bingley: [Elizabeth enters the room, Darcy stands. Caroline is appalled] Good Lord, Miss Elizabeth. Did you walk here?

    Elizabeth Bennet: I did.

    [long pause]

    Elizabeth Bennet: I'm so sorry. How is my sister?

    Mr. Darcy: She's upstairs.

    Elizabeth Bennet: [another pause; she smiles and curtseys] Thank you.

    [she leaves the room]

    Caroline Bingley: My goodness, did you see her hem? Six inches deep in mud. She looked positively mediaeval.
