Love should be better than lack.

Jane Austen and Tom are in the same heart, but they are separated from each other because of the imperfection of reality. My favorite is the scene where he meets her in the library. Tom pointedly told Jane that if you want to write a master novel, you must have rich experience. Perhaps it was at that moment that Jane really fell in love with this man who liked to "oppose" her.
I wonder if Jane's later literary success had something to do with this man's admonition? Oh, this is just my guess. To be able to write such a masterpiece as "Pride and Prejudice", she should have more than the experience in the film, right?
I've read the book Pride and Prejudice and I love the happy ending in the story. However, the life of Jane shown in the film "Becoming Jane" is not very complete. She is kind, intelligent, sexy, and beautiful, but her love comes to an abrupt end in deep love. Faced with reality, they are sensible. At first, I really didn't understand why she went back on her run with Tom. When I put myself in her place to think, I realized that if it were me, I would also choose to refuse to elope with him. A love that cannot be fulfilled and blessed by the outside world will not be happy, at least not perfect.
Love is really inexhaustible. Austin will not succumb to power and money. In her view of love, two people can only be together if they love each other. She can never tolerate living with a person she doesn't love for a lifetime, even if it's not long.
I agree with her view of love, perhaps in my bones, I am also such a person.
