I cannot empathize with the grief of Marguerite and Armand, who in my eyes are unsympathetic people who are to blame for their bad endings. Margaret is kind, but she's gratuitous and profligate, and I really don't like it. "She brightened her wit with champagne, and sometimes her eyes brightened with tears." This is a beautiful sentence.
Armand made me look down even more. He was in love, had no career, and was ridiculously naive. He said he would take care of Margaret for the rest of his life, but he didn't even have the ability to support himself. If I were Armand's father, I would have to beat the mandarin ducks, or he would have accomplished nothing.
Neither of these two people had the awareness to make life better with their own hands. Marguerite only knew how to sell the luxury goods given to her by the previous man when her money was tight, and Armand only knew how to ask her family for it when she had no money. Moreover, even if Armand is not rich as a baron, he is by no means poor. It is reasonable to say that seven thousand pounds a year is enough for two people to live comfortably. As a civilian, it is difficult for me to have a good impression of such people who are ignorant of the suffering of the people.
During those days in the countryside, although they knew that the economy was not prosperous, they did not develop the habit of hardship and simplicity, and they were always worried and unable to make any changes. When I read the book, I was very puzzled, since I have no money, why do I have nothing to do every day? The lives of most of the people in this book are just as empty and boring, and to put it bluntly, they are all social moths.
As for their love, it is really fragile. There is a lack of the most basic trust between the two people. Armand does not believe that Marguerite is in true love for him, and Marguerite does not believe that Armand has the determination to protect their love against all odds. In particular, Armand's distrust of Marguerite was revealed when Marguerite secretly sold luxury goods and was suspicious of Armand. It's no pity to cut off such a love that can't stand the test.
When I was reading, I was very greedy for Margaret's candied grapes. It sounded sweet and watery, but in the movie, it was candy chestnuts, so there was no temptation in an instant. Could it be that I remembered it wrong? Margaret's dresses are very popular with me, especially the white ones. When you wear them, you will feel like you can't eat fireworks. The style with exposed collarbone is pure and sexy, which is very in line with the temperament of a crowd-pleaser. It's a pity that Margaret's actor's voice is too thick and she looks a little old. I imagined that she should be more coquettish.
