regret at that time

Christiana 2022-04-20 09:02:39

Often you gain half and lose the other half. Unable to be kind, there will always be regrets.

As a reader, I'm glad that Jane didn't choose marriage, she still had fantasies about love (at least when she was writing), and she was still determined to marry love, so she was able to write those works that make us girls feel happy for a moment ( Even if I am alone in the long and desolate night, at least I can still fly the wings of my imagination).

As a bystander, I feel sad for Jane. She believed too much in her belief, what a stubborn girl she was, lonely all her life, she clearly understood that money was behind marriage, so she could leave some wealth to her sister and mother, but, seeing So clear. She can't choose.

Should you marry a man who will not bring you happiness, or should you choose the rich loneliness firmly?

Every choice has regrets.
