I really like this Victorian British pastoral love story. The heroine meets Gabriel and Uncle Beard (forgot the name) who love her deeply, and there is a particularly scumbag man. I've been confessing to Gabriel throughout the show, this man is perfect except for raising a waste dog and making him bankrupt. What I remember most from elementary school textbooks is the spirit of the poplar tree: stalwart, upright, simple, serious, strong and unyielding, all of which can be applied to Gabriel. The lines he proposed to the heroine were also very simple, and he couldn't help but find them online. He has been guarding the heroine, and even Uncle Beard can see that he is a respectable opponent.
Uncle Beard is miserable, he was abandoned in his early years, and he was fooled by the heroine in middle age (looking at the beard and skin, it should be middle-aged and elderly). Seeing him silently paying attention to the heroine, being apprehensive when facing the heroine, proposing for the second time, and even robbing the scumbag, I always feel that the heroine owes him too much. Especially after he was imprisoned, Gabriel opened his wardrobe and jewelry box, all of which were prepared by Uncle Beard for the heroine in advance, no one expected that the scumbag would appear. But even if the scumbag doesn't show up, the heroine can't agree to the beard's proposal. Do pastoral marriage proposals in that era like to say how much land is there as a condition? Look so cute, silly landlords.
When it comes to scumbags, just looking at him, you can tell that he is frivolous and big scumbag. What makes me feel the most strange is the scene where he is wielding swords and swords towards the heroine. Isn't it an obvious neurotic attack? I don't know what their age likes, and if I encounter this kind of madness, I promise I'll run faster than anyone else. The contrast between the scumbag's affection for his ex-fiancee and his ruthlessness towards the heroine is too stark. It's not that he can't love people, he just doesn't love you. Holding on to a person who does not love him, he is even willing to use marriage and property as a bond. In the end, the heroine bears the debts of the scumbag, and ends up being sad. Things that do not belong to her cannot be forced. I thought the scumbag died for his ex-fiancee, but I didn't expect him to add drama to himself. Uncle Beard is good at shooting, so the scumbag should die.
The heroine can't be said to be beautiful, but the more she looks, the better she looks, and I like her refreshing and capable temperament. At first, I thought she had an independent personality and didn't like to depend on men. When she rejected Uncle Beard's proposal, she answered very nicely, and she was really confident if she had money. I just didn't expect that she would also covet good skin (I don't like the face of scumbags at all, G is much more handsome), and loves to listen to sweet words. Until the scumbag died, she was still thinking of him, and women were always reluctant to let themselves go.
I thought the heroine was not as cute as Old George, but I didn't expect the ending to be so sweet. The above is all nonsense, sleep well tonight.
