He loves the southern complex, she loves her self-esteem

Probably because this story also spends energy to lay out the collision of consciousness between the North and the South during the British Industrial Revolution, resulting in a few descriptions of love, far less direct than "Pride and Prejudice".
The male protagonist has fallen in love with the female protagonist from the very beginning, which is different from the elegant tone around him, which comes from the south and illuminates the world with love like the Virgin. Because of this, he kept saying that she would not like me, and I was not worthy of her. Of course, there may also be the attraction brought by the so-called "remarkable hansome" appearance of the heroine (this can only be said that the actors were not selected well). He originally positioned himself as a vulgar snobby Yankee, thinking that it was out of reach for a young girl in the south, but he was eager to try because of his wealth.
The female protagonist began to show extreme contempt and contempt, and then peeked at others (probably seduced by the rough northern masculinity and the male protagonist's remarkable hansome appearance), and then refused to propose because she felt that she was being sympathetic and rescued, and finally became rich When he had the right to speak, he held his head high and expressed his long-hidden "love" to the male protagonist. Could it be more hypocritical? Ah?
That's it, the two of you are as happy as a man with a gold chain and a woman with a silver bracelet~

North & South quotes

  • Hannah Thornton: A mother's love holds fast and forever. A girl's love is like a puff of smoke - it changes with every wind.

  • Margaret Hale: I wish I could tell you how lonely I am. How cold and harsh it is here. Everywhere there is conflict and unkindness. I think God has forsaken this place. I believe I have seen hell and it's white, it's snow-white.
