The day before yesterday was the 204th anniversary of Jane Austen's death.
Deliberately turned out the "Pride and Prejudice" 1995 BBC mini-series, Kayla Knightley film version, and Wang Keyi translated the novel, in one breath, carefully revisited.
[In life, if you don't let people joke and come back and make fun of others, what does it mean?] ]
It's still hard to imagine that this interesting and penetrating literary work came from the hands of a 21-year-old girl two centuries ago.
This is also my favorite of Jane Austen. Light comedy, human fireworks, and hand-held taunts are the essence of her novel art.
She understands the essence of bourgeois marriage, recognizes the weight of the economy and the door, and is neither too pragmatic to abandon the role of love, nor is it brainless Mary Sue touting the supremacy of love.
Young boys and girls, it is recommended to read more About Jane Austen, her model of marriage in her book, which is still a rare reference guide to this day.
[It has become a universally accepted truth that all bachelors who have property must marry a wife.] ]
Happy marriage is the eternal theme of human beings, and the material basis is the premise of happy marriage. Therefore, in "Pride and Prejudice", it seems natural to consider external factors such as income, status, and social interaction.
So Bingley, who earned five thousand pounds that year, parachuted into the Nigerfi Garden, and the neighbors were full of joy. He immediately shook his fists, ready to take possession of him as a property that one of his daughters deserved.
Among them, the most ecstatic is the heroine's mother, Mrs. Bennett. She has five daughters to be in the womb, one has no property inheritance rights, the other has no brothers to help, and can only rely on fighting for gold and jade to maintain a decent life.
Marrying daughters, marrying daughters, marrying daughters... It was her lifelong pursuit and all her ambitions.
The eldest daughter, Ji Ying, was born with high hopes due to her natural beauty. She was also very contentious, and at the welcome party of Bingley and his relatives and friends, she rode in the dust and effortlessly captured his favor.
In Bingley's eyes, Ji Ying is beautiful, good-natured, and has a strong heart, like an angel descending from the mortal. In Ji Ying's heart, Bingley was also a hundred satisfied. When he came home that night at the dance, he confided in his sister Li Cui and said how much he admired him.
However, in that era, the carriage and horse were very slow, the time was long, and it was not popular for fast food to fall in love. Two individuals who love each other will always have to go through a roundabout way.
The trigger was Ji Ying's dignified and heavy, the inner stream was babbling, the surface was silent, willing to accept Bingley's great dedication, but did not show the slightest admiration for him.
Neighbor Charlotte saw the signs and said to Li Cui:
"If a woman uses this trick to hide in front of her beloved, not letting him know that she is interested in him, then she may not have a chance to win his favor."
It's just a pity that without the encouragement of the other party, they are willing to have no head and no brain to love people, it is simply too few. Nine times out of ten, a woman's family has one point of love in her heart and shows two points on the surface. There is no doubt that Bingley likes your sister; but if your sister does not help him, he may like her. ”
Sure enough, the world sober Charlotte, soon in a word. Although Ji Ying herself is impeccable, her mother, her debauched sister, and her low-status relatives have somewhat weakened her charm.
Despite the zealous Bingley's infatuation, he declared: "Even if they have countless uncles, they can fill the whole of Zipsay (the merchant's gathering place), and they cannot detract from their likable places." ”
However, with soft ears and no opinion, he still quietly left after repeated persuasion by his close friend Darcy and his sisters, after weighing the pros and cons and acquiescing that Ji Ying was not moved.
Fortunately, with the progression of the feelings of the male protagonist Darcy and the female protagonist Li Cui, the misunderstanding between them has gradually been solved. Bingley, who has gone and returned, resolutely proposes marriage; Ji Ying, who has lost and regained, cries and says that he is willing to do it a million times. This pair of golden boys and jade girls has been united so far.
When a woman hides her emotions deeply because she is shy or reserved, then love will also be lost. So, if you meet the right person and he happens to love you, you may wish to give more encouragement and even be brave. Don't be silent, wait until your wish is disappointed, and then secretly hurt yourself.
After all, in real life, not everyone has luck, meet Bingley, and then meet God to assist Darcy, so that the emotional peak turns around and comes back to life.
[Once I don't have a crush on someone, I never have a crush on them.] ]
Compared with her sister Ji Ying, the beauty of the heroine Li Cui is slightly inferior, but her lively and playful personality and unique and intelligent insights are well compensated.
Li Cui and Darcy's acquaintance was also at the first country dance. This pair of joyful enemies did not stage a love at first sight drama. On the contrary, their first meeting was tense.
It is reasonable to say that Darcy's family is richer than Bingley, and should have been more grandly welcomed and warmly sought after by the mother's group and thousands of young girls. However, as soon as he appeared on the scene, he was full of arrogance, and he ignored everyone and lost all his good feelings.
Speaking of which, everyone is mixed with high society, and although money is important, backbone is also indispensable.
He and Li Cui formed a bond, which began with a lot of talk. Bingley, a warm man in the world, could not bear to see him standing stupidly aside, and strongly demanded that his sweetheart's sister be introduced as his dance partner. Darcy was dismissive and dragged his speech:
"She's okay, but she's not beautiful enough to impress my heart, and I'm not interested in lifting up the ladies who are looked at coldly by others."
As the saying goes, when the wife is cool, chase the wife to the crematorium. Not far away, Li Cui heard Darcy's contemptuous evaluation of "she is OK", not only did not become angry, but used it as a joke and told other female companions to laugh at themselves.
This strange painting style, unlike the twisted and twisted everyone's boudoir, successfully attracted the attention of the domineering president Darcy.
He was indifferent to her on the surface, but inside he couldn't help but feel excited. He found Li Cui's dark eyes beautiful and light and endearing, and he was fascinated by her generous and playful style.
At the next dance, Darcy couldn't help but invite Li Cui to dance, but was tragically refused. The second time, it was easy to invite, and it was ridiculed by the intended person.
It turned out that Li Cui listened to the rumors of the prodigal son Wade and mistakenly believed that Darcy was despicable and ruthless, and had an indelible prejudice against him.
Unconsciously, Darcy fell in love with Li Cui more and more. However, he was rational by nature, and after witnessing the behavior of her family members who were no longer disorganized, he also fell into hesitation. In the end, Li Cui's frank cuteness and humor still conquered him.
Darcy proposed with confidence, and the love in his heart, which was transformed into words, became arrogant:
"I am fighting against my worldly views, against my family's expectations, against your lineage, against my class, and I am going to throw them all away and let you end my suffering." I love you, please accept me. ”
These words fell into Li Cui's ears and were interpreted as: Although your status is low, your relatives are humble, and I don't match me in every way, but damn, I really love you, and I am reluctant to choose low for it, and you quickly thank zero from me.
Just learned that it was Darcy who obstructed from it, broke up the beautiful marriage between his sister and Bingley, a stomach of evil fire is unable to vent Li Cui, who is in the mood to talk about love, without hesitation, full of fire, cut through the iron to reject him, and do not hesitate to put down the harsh words:
"Even if all the men in the world are dead, I don't want to marry you!"
Punches in the face come too quickly, like tornadoes, and men and women are no exception.
The next day when she received a long letter from Darcy dissecting the truth of the matter, Lithy's prejudice had been half eliminated; in the beautiful garden of Pemberley, seeing Darcy become polite and thoughtful, her prejudice disappeared.
Darcy took advantage of the victory to pursue, ran east and west to spend a huge amount of money, settled the scandal of the future sister-in-law and the scumbag Wade eloping, avoided the five girls in the Ban Mansion from becoming laughing stocks, and completely won Li Cui's gratitude and love.
The combination of Darcy and Li Cui is the favorite of countless readers, and it is also the embarrassment of some readers.
Some people say that Li Cui is just a little bit of posture, will say a few witty words, other aspects are unremarkable, and even provoke the family lineage, property, character, insight, pile pieces of outstanding Darcy is intoxicated, unrealistic.
To be honest, I can quite understand Darcy.
In the English countryside more than two hundred years ago, he was dull and boring, everything was fine, and only lacked troubles. There was also Miss Bingley, with a vulgar long tongue, buzzing around like a fly, and a domineering aunt, bent on giving him her sick and defiant cousin Xu.
At this time, Li Cui, who was eccentric and dared to love and hate, walked into his sight, which was simply a beautiful landscape. In that historical background, under the background of pig teammates, it is difficult for Darcy not to be moved.
Darcy and Li Cui's best couple Tiancheng perfectly practiced Jane Austen's concept of marriage and love: "Anything can be arbitrary, there is no love, do not get married." ”
Of course, if there is money in addition to love, it is the best footnote to marriage.
