Selfish love

I like watching movies based on the English story from the 18th to the 19th century. From "Jane Austen" to "Pride and Prejudice", I was deeply attracted by Britain's unique countryside, architecture, costumes, dance parties and etiquette-British culture has its own elegant and calm charm. At the beginning of this movie, I have imagined in my mind that this is about a typical lady's legend, inseparable from the struggle between love and reality. In the end, the heroine either elopes or degenerates or is alone for a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, I was disappointed. This is also the novelty of this movie. It is unremarkable. The story tells the story of an aristocratic lady who married the Duke of Devonshire and was under pressure because of her inability to have children. Her friend, Mrs. Fox, and her husband had a good day, and it was at this time that she reunited with her old friend Gray, which gave rise to a love history. At the end of the story, the duchess became the most prestigious and powerful woman in contemporary times. Mrs. Fox always lived with her and the duchess, and became the duchess of Devonshire after her death. We generally expect that she will resist power, refuse to marry a duke, or bravely pursue true love. But at the beginning of the story, she was obviously happy to marry the duke, but in the end she did not let go of everything for true love. This story is very real. Who wouldn't be excited to be a duchess and live in a luxurious mansion? Who has the heart to leave their children behind and desperately pursue love and freedom?
But what makes me feel the deepest is the duke's selfish love. The best performer in this movie is the Duke of Devonshire. I do not deny that he loves the Duchess, but his love is selfish and cruel. If the Duke really loves his wife, how can he let her endure the pain of working with other women? He is romantic and authoritarian, but he is profound, rigorous, and unpredictable. The depth of the English gentleman makes people feel at ease and at ease. In any case, if a man in a marriage is always self-centered and never considers his wife's feelings, then he can't say without embarrassment that he loves her. So I don't sympathize with the Duke, but I like his blue eyes too much. Maybe I can't ask men of that era to give women how much respect, but I believe that no matter in any era, men must have the most basic respect for their wives in marriage.
The misfortune of marriage is often caused by this.

    I saw it with a toothache. The heroine is the little blonde girl in Bend it like Beckham. Unexpectedly, court stories could be so moving. The scene like an oil painting, with a slightly plain narrative, I have seen and remembered the life of Concubine Dai. I like her so much, Keira Knightley

    I always thought that my husband didn't love me, just for the sake of the heir, boy, I didn't communicate at all at all other times, I would rather play with the two dogs than pay attention to her (the most impressive thing is that he can only meet the eyes of the two dogs in the carriage, Ha ha). Later, this man even had a relationship with his friend, such a fate, alas.
