Reality

The first time I read this story seemed to be in the library on the Clayton Campus, when I was writing the paper on industry relations for so long that I almost despaired. At that time, I drove to the library every day to write papers and read references. There were no people in some places in the library, and the small wooden desk with a slanted table top was so old-fashioned. some kind of illusion created by emotions.

Somehow came across this book by accident, with a frayed cover and yellowed pages. At that time, I thought I couldn't read it. After all, it was the old-fashioned English of the Austen era, and I had also read the original text of Pride and Prejudice. Every time I read it, I would fall asleep. I didn't expect it to be very smooth. The relationship between the characters, the image of the heroine is vivid on the paper, and I hate it for being too short, so I read it quickly. The table where I often sit is by the window. I am especially grateful for the different scenery. Some moments of escape can give me the courage to continue the torture of reality, although I can go on anyway. I didn't expect to see this film, and suddenly there is such a memory that I have never remembered suddenly, which is bitter and gloomy.

I like the heroine. Of course, this is a very strange feeling. After all, the world must think that her three views are wrong, but a female image like her in that era can have contemporary practical significance. The women in Austen's writings are always so three-dimensional. The heroine has beauty and wisdom, the rare has logic and means, can be passionate and rational, and will never let herself be imprisoned in the inherent external and internal conditions, nor will she Subject to public opinion, I really hope that she can get a happy ending, which makes everyone else anxious. After all, she is an unattainable height, even in this world.

I like this kind of story very much. There is a core of irony under the beautiful coat, and from beginning to end, every time I hear Charles speaking for the heroine, I unconsciously think of what kind of subtext should be hidden under such kind words. I really admire Austin's skills, and of course the acting skills of the leading actors are enjoyable. The nature of these so-called marriages, the so-called cause and effect of love, are not the same in any era. If there is no resonance, how can there be so many Austin fans?
