The Last Years of Jane Austen
Kadin 2022-04-24 07:01:24
The thirst for love and the expectation of a perfect marriage are destined to briefly suffer from loneliness and ideals. Like a colorful butterfly that could not be thrown into the fiery flame, it burst out of its cocoon and finally released a strange light. Compared with "Becoming Jane Austen", "The Regrets of Jane Austen" is more touching: the poverty and heaviness under the undercurrent of life, the frustration and pain of looking forward to love encountering cold reality, but it has become the most attractive The inexhaustible source of heart and soul words. Even the few words that seem to be strolling in the courtyard are condensed with blood and tears oozing from the scars of the author's soul! This is fate, this is life
Extended Reading
-
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.
