In fact, the character S, according to the development of the whole plot, is a person who keeps looking for self-happiness in a boring life. In the book, he is also a person who often talks about bored. From an objective point of view, she has no plan for doing things. Her thoughts and actions at that time and future thoughts and actions are only based on her pleasure, and she is willing. Never consider right or wrong, and never consider others. If you want to analyze it, you must be from a wealthy background with her, look good, her family loves her, others dote on her, men love her, and it has always been smooth sailing, a little willful, a little arrogant, and a little selfish. But she can't be said to be a bad woman because of these faults, and she often has moments where she reveals her true feelings. She speaks as long as she is happy and likes to speak harshly, but she does not necessarily regret what she says, but she refuses to lower her head. However, she was born with a contradictory personality. There is a scene where she was kneeling on the ground and praying to the cross, but after a while, she took a pillow and put it under her knees. This plot design fully shows that she is pious, but she still can't aggrieve herself at a pious moment. She placed her trust in religion, but did not follow it. Unlike V's dreamy ideals, she also has no life goals, just to find fun in the changes of life and manipulate others (like an osprey, who soars freely in the sky, but can control the fish in the water). C is the person she is destined to love in her life because he is very different from the people in her life, and in her words the smartest and most decent (righteous) person in England. Her greatest joy is to get a little reaction on C's face. He accepted all the extravagant things she did, so she only went even more extravagant and even cut down the cedar tree in the old house in the end. There's still a cancer drama, but it's too late. Her husband stopped playing with her.
However, don't worry, such a woman will not be lonely just like that. The most unbearable thing for her is loneliness. She will find a way to live a more wonderful life, she will be sad when she thinks of C, but she will get over, she will move on.. Such a woman will be a legend whether she lives in that era or now, but it is definitely not suitable for families. If the struggle for feminism is to be unwilling to stay behind men and dare to pursue self-happiness and self-satisfaction, she definitely has this awareness.
In short, I like this kind of woman, maybe because I also like freedom and self-will. It's more likely because Rebecca Hall is so good that I don't like it.
Besides Christopher, he is an Edwardian English gentleman, he is intelligent and rational, conservative, and has his own moral code that he has always followed. But it is such a person who did irrational things. He had a relationship with S as soon as they met, and the place was in the box of the train; S, these two things are absolutely against his Parade code, and he did. I've been wondering if it's because of his Parade code that he doesn't want to admit that he actually loves such a woman, and he repeatedly told himself and others that this bitch is relying on him, so he has to marry her . Also because of such a lie that deceives others and deceives himself, he doesn't know how to get along with her after marriage. He clearly has grudges in his heart and cannot forgive his wife, but he considers himself to be tolerant of S, and feels that he is a gentleman with integrity. He is upright, but deliberately wants to be more upright. He is decent but deliberately wants to be more decent. It is Parade's style to make himself wronged, but he thinks that he has endured the wrong. His life is not easy, and the people around him are tired. If it wasn't for the male lead played by BC, I wouldn't even want to watch him.
