When this man saw a worker smoking secretly, he punched and kicked him without hesitation, and fired him mercilessly when the worker begged to support his family, his wife and children to stay. .
Margaret, the child who grew up in a sunny, comfortable and idyllic pastor's family in the south, seems to have just arrived in the north of Milton, a town where the industry is booming, but it is full of cold and dirty, class and contradictions. , and saw this scene again. How incomprehensible Margaret was to this indifferent factory owner.
The story begins slowly under this background. Margaret, from the south, is an independent, kind and strong girl; Thornton, from the north, is a girl with tenacity, forbearance and uncompromising. factory owner.
Two people who grew up in different environments and backgrounds, one thinks the other is a ruthless businessman without a gentleman's demeanor; the other is equivalent to love at first sight, so they are cautious and confront each other, sensibility and reason collide fiercely here, misunderstanding and Love is silently entangled here.
There will always be contradictions and antagonisms between factory owners and workers, so the plot develops slowly with the start of the strike. Because of the strike, the poor people in the whole town are filled with deep despair and hunger, and the factory owners will not take it lightly. compromise. As Margaret, on the one hand, she saw that Thornton and her father were both teachers and friends, and they were resolute in their attitude towards the strike, and would rather introduce Irish people than give up their principles; As a supporter of the union, my father was steadfast and uncompromising.
When the strike was deadlocked for a month, as Thornton brought in Irish workers, local starving workers poured into Thornton's factories like mad, crying to kill the Irish who robbed them of their jobs. It happened that Margaret came to borrow a water bed at their home because of her mother's health. Seeing the excited workers, she hoped that Thornton could have a good talk with the workers. Thornton obeyed her words and came to the balcony, but saw When they did not compromise with each other, Margaret was afraid that Thornton would be hurt, so she also came out and hoped that everyone could discuss.
One of the irrational workers picked up a stone and wanted to throw it at Thornton, but accidentally injured Margaret. In the eyes of outside servants, including Thornton's mother and sister, Margaret had declared her love to the world. Feelings. Perhaps at that moment Thornton had the courage to propose to her.
However, it backfired, and Margaret said that in such a situation, it would make her desperate for anyone. 'any man?', in Thornton's view, this any has hit his heart of admiration seriously. It turns out that I am just an ordinary person. It turns out that you-Margaret rejected many men who admired you, of course. Including himself.
As a result, the misunderstanding became deeper and deeper, and then the misunderstanding between the two was due to Margaret's mother missing her son who was drifting away for a long time (due to the sense of justice, the colonel and accomplice who abused the child were driven out of the ship, but they were identified as treason) and not. Adapting to the unhappy life in the north, she eventually became critically ill. Her brother came to visit secretly. After her mother died, because she was afraid that others would find out, Margaret happened to be seen by Thornton when she said goodbye to her brother who left at the train station late at night and hugged deeply... ...
Gradually, one was hesitant to speak, and the other closed his heart.
In this way, when Margaret was brought back to London by her aunt due to the death of her parents, Thornton stood alone on the balcony, his heart was as cold and fragile as the snow in the sky. He watched lonelyly as Margaret slowly stepped onto the carriage, calling softly, "Look back, look back at me...".
Perhaps it was the mutual understanding and understanding between Bessie's father Nicholas and Thornton. Thornton had no intention of knowing from his mouth that it was her brother who hugged and separated from Margaret at the train station late at night. Then the corner of his mouth raised a faint smile.
Thornton went to the hometown of Margaret in the south, where she picked a yellow rose; while Margaret went to the town of Mill in the north, and invested the property left by her father's friend in Thornton's factory. When the two of them finished their work and returned to their respective hometowns, two opposite trains met at a platform. When Thornton saw Margaret, he slowly got out of the carriage, and he felt that his eyes looked at her. to melt. Thornton carefully took out the rose that contained the atmosphere of hometown from his arms, and the two sat down on the bench on the platform. Margaret eagerly wanted to explain that she wanted to invest in Thornton's factory, just a business.
