The persuasive teacher Jane

I used to think that Jane Austen's books were more or less the same as the story of how to marry a rich husband. Now I am ashamed to take back this idea, after a hasty overview of most of her work through the film.
Mansfield Park describes the childhood The pitiful and cautious Cinderella, who is under the shelter of others, finally won the favor of her sweetheart after going through many setbacks. It can be said that the subject word is "Cinderella".
The heroine in Northanger Abbey is naive, often fantasizing about various romances, and going through a series of After the incident, she began to learn to face reality, and of course she also had happiness at the same time. The key word is "growing up".
Persuasion tells a story of firm character. The heroine lost her love when she was young because she was immature and firm, and eventually learned Pride and prejudice are no longer indecisive, and can turn around. The key word can be "firm".
The story of Pride and prejudice is familiar to many people. Pride and prejudice caused a misunderstanding between a man and a woman, when they finally tried to eliminate prejudice and see clearly , and finally happiness. The key word is the title of the book, "Pride and Prejudice".
Sense and sensibility, the title of the book is also the key word of the whole story. The book tries to tell readers that in a happy marriage, the balance between reason and emotion is impossible Or missing. I
read Emma for a very long time, I can't remember the main plot, and dare not comment.
In addition, I saw the title of Lady Susan in Austen's English introduction, which seems to be the original name of Northanger Abbey?
Jane The teacher expresses her understanding of love and marriage so clearly in these novels. It can be said that the conception is ingenious and well-intentioned, and it has a taste of "Thank you for the future generations, and be careful not to forget." It is worthy of being a classic.

Persuasion quotes

  • Lady Russell: Anne! Who is Admiral Croft? And why does he cause you to be out of countenance so?... Anne.

    Anne Elliot: Admiral Croft's wife is... is...

    Lady Russell: Mrs. Croft.

    Anne Elliot: Indeed. And Mrs. Croft is the sister of Captain... Frederick Wentworth.

    Lady Russell: Wentworth? I see. I see.

    Anne Elliot: To think that soon he may be walking through this house.

    Lady Russell: Anne, you know that your father thought it a most unsuitable match. He would never have countenanced an alliance he deemed so degrading.

    Anne Elliot: He was not alone, as I recall.

    Lady Russell: My dear, to become engaged at 19, in the middle of a war, to a young naval officer who had no fortune and no expectations. You would indeed have been throwing yourself away. And I should have been failing in my duty as your godmother if I did not counsel against it. You were young, and it was entirely prudent to break off the understanding.

  • Sir Walter Elliot: Come, come, Anne! We must not be late. You cannot have forgotten we have an invitation from Lady Dalrymple.

    Anne Elliot: I regret I am already engaged to spend the evening with an old school-friend.

    Elizabeth Elliot: Not that sickly old widow in Westgate-buildings?

    Anne Elliot: Mrs Smith. Yes.

    Sir Walter Elliot: Smith? Westgate building?

    Mrs. Clay: Excuse me.

    Sir Walter Elliot: And who, pray, is Mrs Smith? One of the five thousand Smiths that are everywhere to be met with? Upon my word, Miss Anne Elliot, you have the most extraordinary taste. To place such a person ahead of your own family connections among the nobility of England and Ireland. Mrs Smith!

    Anne Elliot: Perhaps she is not the only poor widow in Bath with little to live on and no surname of dignity. Good evening.
