The final sisterhood in Miss Austen Regrets saved me from the abyss of BG.
Jane(J): Harris Bigg, Brook Bridges, Tom Lefroy, all any one of those men might have done is made me quite happy. Quite happy is not enough. Quite happy is not the ending I want to write for my story. And quite poor is the absolute limit. The only regret I have about not marrying Harris Bigg...is that I am going to die. I am going to leave you and mother with nothing.
Cassandra(C): Oh, don't. Don't, don't, Jane. It's my fault. If I had've stayed silent, if I hadn't persuaded you. All that night, I nagged and nagged you to change your mind. I made you refuse him.
J: You made me see the choice for what it was.
C: Because of me, you chose loneliness and poverty.
J: Because of you...I chose freedom.
C: I didn't do it for you, Jane.
J: I know.
C: I am so ashamed...
J: Cassie...Everything I have.. .and everything I have achieved, I owe to you...to the life we have made here, to the love we have together. This life I have, is what I needed. It is what God intended for me. I am so Much happier than I thought I'd be. So much happier than I deserve to be... I am so thirsty.
Any word out is a big killer! What is BG! Sister Lily is the ultimate killer!
(I admit that my heart still trembled when I saw Tom Lefroy's name, but Jane's calm tone made me think that person was really just a passerby. I prefer Jane's performance here, her radiant look, her playfulness , humorous, indifferent, cunning, intelligent. The leftover girl who loved to complain 200 years ago. I believe that Jane's final choice to be single was not to pay tribute to which relationship - Tom or others. She just didn't meet the one who could The one who made her give up the whole forest.)
(Well, who knows what the truth is like. Cassandra burned almost all her letters after Jane's death. This is undoubtedly another strong proof of lily love.. .)
(Although he has crawled out of the abyss of abuse, he has not crawled out of James Mcavoy's blue eyes...)
