I've decided not to worry about Jane for now, she's dead after all

I have always felt that Jane's works are immutable, the characters are similar, the plot is similar, and the place is similar~ I have seen a video lamenting today's information age, saying that the amount of information in a New York Times exceeds the information received by a person in a British manor in Jane's time in a lifetime quantity. It's hard for Jane, she herself lives in an almost unchanging environment.
Especially after learning about Jane's own "marriage history", I began to regard her as a person who struggled and lost to reality. She can only give beautiful fantasy to the characters in the novel. Such people often see her works as Like fate - that's why I respect her work.

Later I couldn't get rid of Jane's lonely face when I watched the movie. For example, at the beginning of the mansfield movie, little Fanny was crying in the small room of the manor, and suddenly an angel-like boy appeared to make her happy and write a lot of things for her on a pile of paper-everyone can see that the boy's style is Jane fictitious. It seems that she has been crying alone since she was a child, trying to give her own projection (that is, the heroine who has an ambiguous relationship with Jane) a little comfort in the work. Then again, every time is a HappyEnding! I can't take it anymore, every time I see the hero and heroine finally come together, I always imagine how Jane lamented her fate as she wrote this scene...

99's Mansfield Park, where I suddenly came home from Fanny Liked it instantly.
Suddenly I found that there are many places in this work that are different from before. Jane's mind seems to be changing. She began to see through a lot of things.

Especially obvious are the two lines that the director deliberately played with:
It could have all turned out differently.
But it didn't.
And the first time I heard this in her film:
man doesn't die for love out of stage
, she realized that her love for drama would not bring any drama to her life, and finally buried the unrealistic vision of Girls' Generation to the bottom of her heart.
She was relieved under these lines - so I began to believe that I don't have to feel sorry for her all the time, maybe she just smiled knowingly when she wrote HappyEnding (at least she saw that the descendants of the world are still sunny, like like a bodhisattva to the characters in the novel).

Then again, Jane's vision seems to have become historic. The two mothers at the beginning of the movie, to Fanny, and then to the end of the movie, a grown up sister. A feeling of "a thousand trees spring in front of a diseased tree" arise spontaneously. All the haze of the past cannot occupy our sky forever because of the hope of a new generation. Tell me about these two old women. Seeing Fanny's mother, a beautiful woman who only got married for love, especially in this play, she and her sister are an actress, you can see her being tossed by reality for love, showing the vicissitudes of life, beauty is only occasionally released under her sallow cheeks A little light; the other sat idly in the manor, doing nothing. I would say that both of them are tragic. Although the fates of these two women were decided before the movie started, their scenes were, in my opinion, the best in the movie, and they said everything Jane had to say. The helplessness of reality, the joy of boredom or the pain of sobriety. Jane chose not to marry for life to support herself by writing.

When it comes to choices, I found that although the heroine in Mansfield's works is still as exemplary and assertive as before, she seems more confused than the heroine in previous works - especially when she once agreed to marry Henry, I can't imagine such stupidity It happened to Elisabeth and Elenor.

What's more shocking is that Fanny resolutely left the manor and chose to go home to find solace, but when he returned home, he couldn't find any solace. The word "reality" came directly to her, bringing with him the four evils, carelessness that can be seen everywhere in the house. Lazy used to represent "love". The tired face of the father and mother saw that the daughter did not have any maternal love, but was worried about the inconvenience caused by Fanny's stay, the child who was screaming and so on. Can Fanny not cry. But later, when Henry came to eat and looked dirty, Fanny snickered at himself, which was so funny (Henry is still very cute, bad luck). I have never seen these scenes.

Plus, she seems to be thinking about things beyond marriage, the love she can't get. The story started to get a little gloomy, and even the background of the era was buried below (the black slave liberation movement here), but the digging in the movie is too shallow, how can it compare with the south and the north~

Anyway, after watching the mansfield park, think about it carefully After that, Jane also grew up, I don't need to worry about her anymore, let's see what she looks like.


PS
's invariable character settings include:
a woman with awakening consciousness, a decisive woman (basically all female protagonists)
a slightly old-fashioned upright gentleman (Darcy, Branden)

a swinging handsome guy who will never end well (no need to introduce)
a A beautiful woman who succumbed to money in marriage (Charlotte, Maria)
A highly educated but slightly flimsy beautiful woman (Sister Bingley, Fanny in SS, female Crawford)

is embarrassed to admit that I haven't read any of the originals, Doesn't seem qualified to talk about her >_<

    Mr. Knightly in the new version of emma is still a tender young man here, but I don't understand why so much has been changed?
