When Jane fell in love with a poor boy at the age of 20, she chose to give up because of careful consideration. Later, the pursuit of the rich was given up because there was no love. Sometimes, because you choose love, you will gradually have material things; if you choose material things, you will gradually have feelings, why can't you look forward with optimism? In the choice of marriage, only oneself is responsible for himself, as smart and wise as Jane, which also has a negative effect on her niece's marriage. Jane's single sister also has a profound influence on her giving up marriage. The film involves love, materiality, human nature, and family affection, and it is told through humorous satire and jokes. Unfortunately, I have only watched Pride and Prejudice. I think Jane and Austen fans can understand this film better and have more say.

Miss Austen Regrets quotes

  • Fanny Austen-Knight: You like Mr. Haden!

    Jane Austen: He has very good teeth.

  • Mme. Bigeon: [late at night, both in nightgowns; strong French accent] My friend in Paris has read a wonderful new book called 'Raison and Sensibilite'

    Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility?

    Mme. Bigeon: My friend says, whoever the woman is who wrote this book, she knows more about love than anyone else in the world

    Jane Austen: Like someone who can't cook writing a recipe book

    Mme. Bigeon: Passion is for the young. It fades so quickly.

    Jane Austen: [wistfully] Not in our dreams

    Mme. Bigeon: Comfort remains, friendship remains, if you are lucky as I was.

    Jane Austen: Happiness in marriage remains a matter of chance

    Mme. Bigeon: But the fuss we make about who to choose. And love still dies and money still vanishes. And, spinster, lover, wife, every woman has regrets. So we read about your heroines and feel young again. And in love. And full of hope. As if we can make that choice again.

    Jane Austen: And do it right this time

    Mme. Bigeon: This is the gift which God has given you.

    [Jane Austen looks up sharply]

    Mme. Bigeon: It is enough, I think.
