disappointment in marriage

"Some things start too early, some things start too late" Marriage starts too early, love starts too late.

The whole film is not suitable for viewing with modern thinking, it is too thought-provoking. The main film has historical prototypes, and after searching for information, it is found that the content of the film is highly consistent with history. The misfortune of women in history is shown through the film.

I was particularly angry during the viewing of the movie. It was brought into the background of the times to see that Georgiana's mother was a shrewd woman who could give up her daughter's happiness for the sake of her reputation. The duke's early behavior was very disrespectful to his wife Georgiana in modern society, but it also fully reflected the feudal marriage under the social environment at that time.

Beth and Georgiana are not only the relationship between the interfering person and the interfering person, but also "understanding each other" between the two women, so it is inaccurate to describe it simply as "girlfriends". In the film, Beth chose to intervene in Georgiana's marriage for her children, which was immoral, but it was still because of the reputation and status of the "Duke". Beth's influence on Georgiana was not only her disappointment in marriage but also her longing for love.

Grey and Georgiana kiss

A decent goodbye is more regrettable than a ripped face. Gray and Georgiana have a daughter, but due to their special status, they can only live as Gray's niece. George also paved the way for Gray's career, the so-called dilemma between his future and his lover. The last peaceful separation is even more regrettable.
