What's wrong with being alone?

I have read Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility" and "Northanger Abbey", and I liked it at first, but after reading 3 books, I felt that the author's thinking was too simple, and I was not interested in reading other works. Although I did a little research on her life, I didn't know much about it. I watched "The Regrets of Jane Austen" today, and it brought back my admiration for Austen (?)
After watching Austin's relationship with her family in the film, and thinking of what she learned before about her unmarried life, this is not fully accepted today. How did Austin insist on doing this? Society, the family will not exert pressure? Austin in the movie is very happy, and the family understands and supports her and is proud of her. Although her mother complained about her at the end, she also saw that Austin was sick and hugged her. Persevering in writing, persevering in his career, not taking the usual route, and having the full support of his family, how lucky Austin is. The work has also been recognized by so many people. Jane Austen is very sensible and sober, and this is also her "sorrow", which makes it impossible for her to settle. Mr. Darcy can only be created in fiction, but reality is difficult to meet. Jane Austen saw and understood the social conditions and sophistication, and she could easily deal with it, but she could not integrate into this kind of life and live this kind of life for the rest of her life. She is free to deal with the party, because life cannot be individual, but group life, and entertainment cannot be avoided. But she would laugh and sarcastically afterward. As Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy express their opinions with sharp teeth, the difference is that Jane Austen does not have her Darcy. Mr Bridge also said "You can hide behind your clever words as much as you can" (you can hide behind your fangs as much as you like) Austin's answer is "Good, because my clever words will soon be the only thing putting a roof over my head. Or over my mother's or my sister's" (exactly, because fangs and fangs are the only one I can rely on, and the only one my mother and sister can rely on). Self-esteem, helplessness, anger, powerlessness, unwillingness to stand on the sidelines, so use words to hurt others, so as to calm down your heart, and sometimes it is also a manifestation of inferiority and sensitivity. Marriage cannot be without love, nor without money (status, family...). Can Austin still write so many works after marriage? It's hard. After marriage, it is difficult to have pre-marital emotions, there will be children and inevitable entertainment, parents are short-lived, and it is difficult to have the simple freedom and seclusion of being single. The niece asked her. Mr. Bridge asked her if she regretted it, if she thought about him, she said, is all this still important now?
If you choose, just go on, if you regret it, it is better not to think about it. Is it someone else's influence? No, it's all your own choice. (If someone else decides for you, why did you choose to give the decision to others? It’s not the path you chose. It’s just an excuse to escape.) Regret, it’s not important, what you need to think about is how to go in the future. Austin agreed to Mr. Harris' proposal and regretted it. Perhaps there was interference from her sister, but then she chose to be single, which was her own choice.
"Harris Bigg, Brook Bridges, Tom Lefroy, all these people do make me happy. It's not enough to be happy, a happy reunion is not the end of my story, it's too tragic and beyond the limits of people's psychology" I have to say, The film sometimes makes me feel like Austen is playing with feelings, but sometimes it understands her. I like her saying "You can be angry with me, but don't you dare feel sorry for me". Sharp teeth.
Niece Fanny is like a 20-year-old girl who yearns for love and marriage, but doesn't understand love. Everyone has their likes and their shortcomings, hesitant to accept and angry and abandoned. Worshiping Aunt Jian, hoping that Aunt Jian will help her choose (look at him from Aunt Jian's standard), but blame Aunt Jian instead. She hopes that others will help her make decisions and blame others for the unhappiness. Many people do this. Here, Fanny also expressed his dissatisfaction with "sharp teeth", venting with words that hurt Aunt Jane. It's easy to export, but easy to hurt. After a moment of pleasure, it's regret.
When it comes to Jane Austen, I think of Emily Bronte, whom I like very much. The two always give me a similar feeling, but it is not the case. The tone of the work is different. The world is the same as independent. Loneliness is the price to pay. However, those who don't make it should enjoy it.
