Jane Austen is a famous British novelist.
Never married, the family is well-off. Living in a small rural town, she is exposed to small and medium-sized landlords, priests and other figures and their idyllic and comfortable living environment, so there are no major social contradictions in her works.
With the nuanced observation unique to women, she truly depicts the small world around her, especially the marriage and love turmoil between gentlemen and ladies.
The theme of "Pride and Prejudice" is to reflect the social status of women at that time through marriage problems, and portray the middle-class life of that time beautifully.
This book writes a total of 4 marriages, which fully demonstrates the author's views on marriage:
Charlotte and Collins: A marriage that looks very puzzling. Although Charlotte made a compromise, it had to be said that this was the life she wanted.
Forced to marry as a lifelong food and clothing, the commission of perfection.
Lydia and Wickham: She is thoughtless and naïve, restless, not shy, noisy all day, self-righteous love is only a chip of profit, and no one except her mother thinks it will be a happy marriage.
Ji Ying and Bingley: Although there are a little twists and turns in the middle, I have to say that she married love and married the life of her dreams. Moreover, she is also a kind and sensible girl.
Elizabeth and Darcy: Their love path can be described as not smooth, after many twists and turns, fortunately, in the end, through hard work, he let go of arrogance, she let go of prejudice, of course, this is all because of love.
Which marriages are happy and which are unhappy.
Either way, on the road to marriage, they met the "right guy.". It may seem to others that they do not understand, but at least they want it themselves.
The ending is happy ending. Darcy and Elizabeth lived happily together, Jane and Bingley lived happily together, and the elder Manly and the fourth, Kitty, got along with them and became excellent, and even their mother became a clear-headed, amiable, and knowledgeable woman. It's just that Wickham and Lydia still need their help from time to time.
In 1796, at the age of 20, Jane Austen met Le Floy.
Austin's pastor family wanted his future son-in-law to have financial power, and Lefroy was still a poor boy who had to rely entirely on his uncle, and he was also responsible for his family, so he chose to do what he had to do and gave up their love.
The first love ended with a forced breakup, and Austin chose not to marry for life, devoting all his emotions and passions to writing.
I remember watching the movie "Becoming Jane Austen", there was this dialogue:
"Will there be a happy ending in your story?" Wesley asked Jane Austen.
"The characters in my story, after going through hardships, will get what they crave." Jane Austen replied.
Therefore, the love in her story is very beautiful, perhaps to make up for the regrets in reality.
There are no great characters and historical plots in Jane Austen's story, just ordinary little people in life, and their ordinary lives. But her novels are still extremely readable today.
As Walter Scott puts it, "She deals only with the events, people, and emotions of everyday life." There's nothing big in her book, but every time you read it, you can't wait to turn the next page, to know what's next—it's still not a big deal, but you're still greedily reading page after page. ”
Jane Austen may not be a great writer, but it's exactly what I love in my heart, a lovely woman, a brilliant author.
If you happen to like her too, then let's read her text together!
If you like it, just "like" it, and let's read it together!
