Her heart is clean

Be it a character or an audience member, Becky is not a person to be liked at first sight. On the contrary, her various behaviors to climb into high society are annoying. At the first meeting, he "performed seduction" to Emilia's brother, worked as a tutor at Peter's house, turned around and imitated and laughed at the words and deeds of the hostess in front of his aunt.
To please his aunt, he went to London, and secretly fell in love with Lawton. Originally thought it was a greed for wealth and status, and a greed for beauty. Unexpectedly, both of them were in love, and the two secretly got married. Before going to the battlefield, Lawton told her how much property he had, and explained it to her one by one, and even left in an old military uniform. In case something happens to him, the new one will be kept for her to sell.
Thinking of the high society is too strong, Spane sees her beauty, but also sees through her vanity. He paid a debt for her as a handle, so when the two were alone, he was entitled to ask her to satisfy him. With the light of Spane, relying on his own ability, he can get along with other noble ladies. Yiquwu earned enough attention, flirting with His Royal Highness publicly but not finding that Lawton left on his own. It's true that the two of them are heavily in debt, and it's not wrong to want to climb to the upper echelons of society. What's wrong is that they don't realize that they are already playing with fire. No matter how covetous of wealth, Lawton can't tolerate his wife to please other men like a dancer. So, seeing her alone with Spane was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Like Scarlett, she has something to hate and something to love. After separating from Lawton, she didn't fall down and became passive and indifferent, and she didn't make mistakes with Spane. Before the war was over, in order to take care of the depressed Emilia, she gave up the only chance to return to London with a big belly. Years later, she even woke Emilia up and helped her find Dobbin. She said that it doesn't matter what Dobbin thinks of me, the important thing is that he loves you, and even if Dobbin sneers at her, she still does it justice for him. speech. Not everyone can do this.
In the end, she hung out in the casino, but I always felt that her heart was clean. She knew that her son had grown into a gentleman and possessed wealth, but she understood that her status, her status, and her experience were not commensurate with this, so she did not go to him. Fortunately, her ending was not too bad. After so much, the notorious she and Emilia's brother were together and finally appreciated the beauty of India that they discussed for the first time. This is of course thanks to Emilia, you help me find true love, then I help my brother find you.
As for George, he doesn't look down on Emilia, who sticks to his side, but he can't accept the rich lady Schwartz introduced by his father. He feels that the behavior of his father and others cannot be called noble and educated, even if he buys a title, he is not worthy of it. superior. But the real him also wanted to increase his worth by buying titles, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to see Schwartz in an engagement situation, or he wouldn't have been irritated by Becky's words. He just told himself and others that he was a gentleman in this way. But obviously he is not. A real gentleman will not agree to be engaged to a woman he doesn't like just because of his family background, nor will he feel contemptuous because his fiancée's family is down.
George's father, for the so-called wealth and title, let his son go on a blind date with another woman in the case of an engagement. It's no wonder that George looks down on him. When businessmen have money, they want status, titles, and well-known names.
And Emilia's misfortune was actually caused by her single-handedly. She loved George so much that she lost herself, she was too greedy for George, and ignored Doubin, who had been with her all the time. When her son grows up, he still believes that George loves her. Maybe she is very clear in her heart, but she is unwilling to face the unwillingness to accept it and add "death without evidence", so she has been living in the "George loves me" lie she weaved. So Becky scolded her, and she immediately accepted it and woke up.

    You british aristocrats or whatever, go to hell

    I haven't read the original book yet, but Becky, who was portrayed in the movie, can't bear the word "bad woman" anyway. This is a woman worthy of admiration, rational, intelligent, versatile, courageous, free and easy, and worthy of love and righteousness. She loves Lawton, and so does Lawton, and they deserve each other no matter the outcome.
