In this context, Mary, the eldest daughter of Downton Abbey, has been engaged to her cousin, the first in line, under the encouragement and urging of the family, but the most dramatic thing is that the cousin is not alive. Boarded the Titanic with my dad, yes, it was the Titanic, and then, before the body was found, everyone started to look up the family tree to find out who was the second-in-line heir.
The new cousin was found, and it came from Manchester, a Someone whom no one had ever seen before. The cousin was at least a childhood sweetheart. This one is not only a stranger, but also has a great disparity in class status. degree of work.
The new cousin is also very strong, not too ecstatic, feeling that his life has been forced to change, he will be forced to inherit a large family business, and he has certain obligations to marry a daughter; Mary of Downton is also Depressed, since I was a child, I was indoctrinated to marry the cousin who died. I thought it was natural for me to marry. I inherited the family business together with my cousin and became an earl and a countess. I didn't think much about inheritance and marriage. The causal connection between the children, and it turned out that when the person died, he didn't feel too sad, and then he was driven to the shelves to beg the new cousin's like. The counter-evidence method is enough to prove that the two things are actually related. As a new woman with independent thoughts and romantic feelings, how unbearable this matter is. The philistine aura brought by love has seriously degraded her personality aesthetics. You can ONS with a stranger for lust, but never for money. The same stranger doing the same thing. So you must not marry a new cousin, otherwise what would it look like.
According to the Romeo and Juliet counter-effect, that is, two people feel that they have a responsibility to be together, so they are not together; then it leads to the Romeo and Juliet effect, where the two feel that they can't be together, but they can't keep themselves in love.
Then the new cousin proposed, Mary thought, is it the same as last time, I thought the two things were independent, I thought I loved him, but it wasn't, did I really do it for his money, Do I want to live in my family's big manor all the time, so I feel in love with him? It's so disgusting, and it goes against my new woman's creed of independence, so the tangled Mary said give me more time to think about it. Just a moment.
The new cousin, a virtuous young man, began to wait indefinitely. Because in fact, the new cousin does have a psychological advantage. It was originally do you a favor. Everyone expects me to marry you. You are indeed charming, and I am indeed marrying you because I fell in love with you, win-win-win -win is happy. We can disprove these evil psychological speculations in the same way. Suppose that the cousin is still a small lawyer in Manchester, with the same character and appearance. He fell in love with the beautiful lady of the Earl’s family for various accidental reasons. First of all, he did not dare to propose marriage, and secondly Even if he dared to open his mouth to propose, the lady asked him to wait for months and months, and his self-esteem had already been damaged, and he felt that it was a polite refusal, and he felt that he was out of control to go back to Manchester.
Who says English dramas are not enough storytelling. Dramatic's plot is back. Mary hadn't figured out what she was thinking, but the Countess was pregnant again in her 40s. As I said earlier, the reason why I was looking for an heir was because I didn't have a son. Now my cousin has a 50% chance of really going back to Manchester.
At this time, everyone began to persuade Mary not to think about it, and agreed quickly. Originally, Mary's long-term consideration was really considering it, and it was originally a matter of taking advantage of her heir cousin. Her slow and reserved consideration was not a cheerful and eager promise. It's a decent performance. As a result, my mother was pregnant again at this time. If I didn't agree at this time, I would feel that I was waiting to see if it was a younger brother or a younger sister, and I was really suspected of speculation.
Well, in fact, there are three realms of choice at this time: the first level is to continue to consider shamelessly and wait to see if it is a younger brother or a sister; the second level is to quickly agree to let the cousin really know that he is not married for the sake of status. Give it to him, so that the cousin will really cherish himself, and then repent if it is a younger brother (this option was recommended by Mary's grandmother), this is also a civilized person in a civilized society in the south of England. Morality, benefits, fame, love The most courageous thing that can be done in the game between true and false; but British dramas in ancient costumes always have to show independent women, so Mary thinks that she was thinking about it originally, and she really didn't know if she had put it all together. Two things (inheritance and love) are clearly distinguished, and I can only allow myself to get married because of love, so I don’t know if I should get married; in this case, I should not be affected by any external reasons, so I decided to continue consider.
The choice of this third level is quite risky for Mary, because we can clearly see that from the behavioral level, the third level is no different from the first level. And we also believe that even if it is justified from the ideological level, I continue to consider that the third level is actually not the superficial first level, and it must be quite pale.
From the cousin's proposal, to Mary's mother's pregnancy, to Mary's decision to continue thinking about it, the plot developed in less than 10 minutes, and the main characters didn't say anything, and the communication was all based on eyes. But because Mary and her cousin fell in love with their eyes before, the emotional foundation was not solid, but to be honest, even the most reliable emotional cousin at this time was also chilled.
As a result, Mary turned into a shameless opportunist.
How much do we need to know about ourselves to know why we make choices and whether we are honest enough to face our hearts; how much trust is needed between people to see clearly that the other person can’t see it himself clear heart. And how much courage is required for this process of discussion, whether it is meaningful or not, and how much damage may be caused.
(Downton Abbey really can't stand it anymore. After another 15 minutes, Mary's mother was framed by a bad guy and miscarried. My young mind really can't stand such a Dramatic story...)
