Sensations of 19th Century English Literature

Vito 2022-03-21 09:01:51

If this is a novel, the writing style should be extremely delicate, and the feeling of 19th century English literature, such as Austen, reveals the romanticism in the realistic brushwork.

An Irish girl went to New York, unfamiliar, unwell, homesick, and fell in love with an Italian boy that was not very firm. When her sister died and returned to her hometown to visit relatives, she was shaken by her belief in setting foot on the American continent again.

There are also people worthy of her love in her hometown, who can get a more stable life. It is desirable to stay and can give her lonely mother a support.

But even so, everything obeys human nature after all. Crossing the ocean again, she is no longer the first time she has stepped abroad, she has become very firm.

The process of life is nothing more than making the direction firmer and the road underfoot more practical.

    Although I have never liked Tobin's novels, the movie is very good. Should I read the original book? Home and far away... There is no doubt that in the end we answered the call of the far place and built our own lives.

    In the middle part, I still felt that the story was plain and unremarkable, but in the end it knocked me down. A very simple story, but like a gentle knife hitting deep inside. Leaving or staying is often between a single thought, but at the moment you leave your hometown, you will no longer be the same you were. Homesickness is still there, but this is a one-way route. [I still think that the height difference between sister Ronan and Gleeson looks pretty beautiful.

Brooklyn quotes

  • Mrs. Keogh: I'll tell you this much: I am going to ask Father Flood to preach a sermon on the dangers of giddiness. I now see that giddiness is the eighth deadly sin. A giddy girl is every bit as evil as a slothful man, and the noise she makes is a lot worse. Now, enough.

  • Frankie Fiorello: So, first of all, I should say that we don't like Irish people.

    [General cries of outrage around the table]

    Frankie Fiorello: We don't! That is a well known fact! A big gang of Irish beat Maurizio up and he had to have stitches. And because the cops round here are Irish, nobody did anything about it.

    Maurizio: There are probably two sides to it. I might have said something I shouldn't, I can't remember now. Anyway, they probably weren't all Irish.

    Frankie Fiorello: They just had red hair and big legs.
