The narrative is methodical and well-hearted, with a well-structured story and well-defined character relationships. No matter the upper-level characters or the lower-level characters, the characters' characters are detailed and vividly portrayed. The upper class struggles unremittingly for property and status, and the lower class struggles constantly for dignity and status.
The second episode:
Matthew, the heir of Downton Abbey, enters the manor, and Matthew's offbeat arouses criticism from top to bottom. The actions of Matthew's mother invisibly triggered a "war" with the Earl's mother.
Episode 3:
Mary, dissatisfied with Matthew, tries to find a potential sweetheart to replace Matthew, only to be self-defeating. Pamke's bizarre death aroused the curiosity of the servants, including Butler Carson, Thomas, O'Brien, and others. And since the location of Bates was determined, Bates' role has increased. Downton Abbey is beautiful, but the building that witnessed the glory of the Earl's family looks dilapidated in the sun, suggesting that Downton Abbey itself is heading for decline.
Episode 4:
Matthew tries unsuccessfully to find a basis for undermining the restrictive succession laws and sets out to manage Downton Abbey. The next people also have their own love.
The daily activities of the upper and lower classes in the manor are the two threads of this series, and they are intertwined. This series mainly revolves around the future fate of the manor-the marriage problem between the heir and the eldest daughter. Of course, when there is no big movement in the tree, the fate of the flowers and plants under the tree is basically the same. But you do not deny that any change starts from the inside, but the change is gradual, and if you don't pay attention, you will not notice it.
Episode 5:
1. The abnormal behavior of the maid Daisy caused some servants to suspect the relationship between Mary and the death of the Turkish ambassador. The second lady obtained evidence of Mary's infidelity through the clues told by Daisy. The loss of the Earl's snuff bottle reflects the struggle between servants Bates and O'Brien and Thomas. It was discovered by the pudding incident that the cook was going blind.
2. The count's youngest daughter helped Wei to participate in the interview for secretary recruitment again, but the interview failed the second time. The relationship between Mary and Matthew is undergoing subtle changes, and the conflict between Mary and the second lady deepens. Mrs. Crawley and the earl's mother started their inner contest at the flower show. Finally, the earl's mother, Gao Fengliang Festival, awarded the best award to the well-deserved old gardener.
Mary's Personality: Stubborn, self-respecting, and has her own opinions. Third Miss Sybil Personality: Kind, enthusiastic, keen on the feminist movement. Mrs. Crawley Personality: Generous, decent, pursuing the right side of things, reformist.
From this episode, we can see that all kinds of open and secret battles between upper-level characters or between lower-level characters continue to appear. From this season, it can be seen that the turbulent situation has just started, and it is far from the situation of "the mountains and rains are about to come and the building is full of wind". That is to say, big events and big changes have not yet begun, and this episode is just a foreshadowing.
Episode 6:
1. Mary's mother learned of the scandal between Mary and Pamke from a letter from the Turkish embassy, and her grandmother was shocked. Therefore, the two elders tried to let Mary marry as soon as possible to reduce the negative impact of the scandal. At this time, Matthew and Mary had further contact. When the two were in love with each other, Matthew proposed to Mary. Elise goes for a drive with Mary's Spare Tire, and then Elise is invited to the play by Mary's Spare Tire, and the relationship between Elise and Mary's Spare Tire develops. Branson drove Miss 3 to Ripon to watch the party by-election. After returning, he was reprimanded by his father for not allowing him to have a similar event next time. Miss San refuses to listen and find a reason to go to Ripon to watch the party by-election again. Matthew sends the injured Miss San home in the chaos. Miss San was reprimanded by her father again, and threatened her father not to fire Branson by running away from home.
2. Thomas and O'Brien sued the villain first and conspired to put the blame on Bates for the stolen wine, and Bates and others were questioned by the housekeeper for this. Later, Daisy told the truth to save Bates, but Bates exposed his disgraceful past and tried to resign. Afterwards, Anna kept her sincerity in private. Miss San encouraged the maid to have the opportunity to attend the secretary interview again. William repairs the horseshoe, and his mother is ill. Mary helps him take leave to go home to see her mother.
Generally speaking, the story capacity of each episode is relatively large, and the development of the whole episode is still relatively slow.
Episode 7:
1. Mary's mother became pregnant again after a lapse of 18 years, but Mary's mother miscarried because O'Brien mistakenly heard that she was going to quit her. Mary learned from Nasir that the culprit of the rumor was her sister, so she held a grudge against him. After the old sergeant asks Elise for another ride, when she tries to propose to Elise at an open-air party, Mary ruins the possible marriage between Elise and the old sergeant. Mary's mother's pregnancy raised the issue of the heir again, thus affecting the direction of the marriage between Mary and Matthew. In the dilemma, Matthew was deeply hurt and refused to marry Mary.
2. Thomas and O'Brien once again conspired to dig out the disgraceful side of Bates' past. The Earl has not decided to resign Bates after learning of this. After receiving the earl's care, the cook goes to London for eye treatment, and at the same time takes on Lady Bird for fear of losing her position. Anna learned the truth about Bates's disgraceful past from Bates's mother by accompanying the cook to London for treatment, and then told the earl about it. Miss Er helps Wei get a secretary position from the phone installer.
