Viewing "Northanger Abbey"
Gloria 2022-10-03 17:41:11
I love the name of the movie, Northanger Abbey, just like its castle building, beautiful and mysterious. Although Jane Austen's works are not many, each novel is exquisite and delicate, with almost the same ideological routine and age, and each of them can be traced and found in common. As a woman, watching her work is fantastic. The heroine in the movie is very beautiful, and it ended with a happy ending. I think it was a dream that Jane Austen could not achieve. In addition, so far, I still like the classical British style very much, as well as their ballroom dancing, it is very interesting, I will learn it when I have time.

Mrs. Allen: There! Did you ever see anything prettier, Mr Allen?
Mr. Allen: Other than yourself, do you mean, my dear?
Mrs. Allen: Oh, fine, Mr Allen! But Catherine...
Mr. Allen: Ah, she looks just as she should! Now... might we make our way, do you think? I entertain high hopes of our arriving at the rooms by midnight.
Mrs. Allen: How he teases us, Catherine! Midnight, indeed!

[Riding in the curricle, Henry and Catherine see the first view of Northanger Abbey]
Henry Tilney: There.
Catherine Morland: It's exactly as I imagined. It's just like what we read about.
Henry Tilney: Are you prepared to encounter all of its horrors?
Catherine Morland: Horrors? Is Northanger haunted, then?
Henry Tilney: That's just the least of it. Dungeons, and sliding panels; skeletons; strange, unearthly cries in the night that pierce your very soul!
Catherine Morland: [sardonically] Any vampires? Don't say vampires. I could bear anything, but not vampires.
Henry Tilney: [laughing] Miss Morland, I believe you are teasing me now.
[seriously]
Henry Tilney: I have to say, there is a kind of vampirism. No, let's just say that all houses have their secrets, and Northanger is no exception.
