For Beth, he's just a lover and everyone gets what they want. He would lose his temper with Beth, but not with Georgiana, who was always lenient with Georgiana even when she angered him. Although he just married Georgiana just to have a boy at the beginning, he was very attentive and surrounded by women constantly, but in fact he was just a victim of the feudal system. He yearned for freedom as much as Georgiana, but was unable to break free from the shackles of the duke, so he indulged himself, and he did not know of any use for him other than the birth of an heir. He didn't realize he loved her until Georgiana was with Gray. As said in the film "I love you. In the way I understand love". Although he still does not understand the true meaning of love, he has realized the importance of Georgiana to him.
After she returned, he was excited. He still didn't scold her when he knew she was pregnant with Grey's child, and he made the biggest concession to allow Georgiana to bear the child.
At the end of the credits he says to Georgiana: "I'm not particularly adept at expressing myself. When it comes to matters of a more personal nature. But I shall try. Over the year, I have acted in ways. That you have judged to be harsh. Well I do not wish for you to undergo any futher suffering. In fact, I would like our lives to find a calm normality."(I am not good at expressing emotions, especially what is in my heart, but I will try. In In the past days, my actions made you feel cold, but in the future, I will not make you suffer. In fact, I hope we can get along in harmony) After reading this, I am completely at the absurdity of his previous behavior relieved. In fact, he is also a pitiful creature. He does not know where the meaning of life is, and he cannot live under all kinds of shackles.
After watching this film, I can only sigh that they missed the time to fall in love, and William fell in love too late!
