Love at that time

After reading it, organize your thoughts and think about what Sense and Sensibility brings out. Marianne has the courage to pursue her own love despite the worldly vision. In contrast, Elinor showed the modesty that women in that era should have, even if love slipped away from her eyes without saying a word. As a result, Billoughby, whom Marianne fell in love with, was concerned about the property of the other half, and was a useless coward; and Mr. Brandon, the old man, played the role of guardian and finally succeeded in touching Marianne.
Haven't read the original yet and haven't compared the difference between the original and the movie. But the view of love brought to people in the movie is that women's restraint gets what they love, and after being traumatized by feelings, they accept the love formula that the loved one is happier than the lover.
Women with no family background in that era should have to wait peacefully for a miracle, and they feel distressed when they see it, poor ancient woman. Unproductive women in a patriarchal society can only wait for the arrangement of fate obediently, while a man with family property can grow old with his favorite object no matter how old he is, and a man without family property and incompetence has no choice but to marry a rich wife and continue to be useless.
Such love values ​​really cannot be quoted in modern society. It is really not suitable for modern women to wait for the arrival of love obediently, otherwise they will only end up alone. The guardian method like Mr. Brandon is also not good. This kind of approach does not respect girls. What you can learn from is not to think about love like Marianne. She is too absolute for Mr. Brandon. It is so absolute, leaving a way for everyone.
But like Edward insisted to the end and got a happy ending, I was speechless again, the same way as Mr. Brandon, but only if Elinor liked him too. The arrangement of the story is that the boys stick to what they love, and in the end there will be good results, maybe they are praising the single-mindedness of love, not stalking.

    Making up for the absence of the "fathers" through the pursuit of love by the "children (leftover daughters)" is still Ang Lee's continuation of the "Father Trilogy". From the traditional East to the classical West, Ang Lee's focus is still on family and Interpersonal, and after many confrontations and compromises, Ang Lee's ending is always an unexpected and extremely harmonious fusion. Jane Austen's works have something in common with the masters of family melodrama Douglas Sack and Aunt Qiong Yao.
