Jane Austin's best work

Persuasion should be Jane Austin's best work, although in terms of fame, it is probably not as arrogant or rational. The reason I say this is because when I was watching this film, I finally saw not only the woman, but also myself.
Anne’s sympathy, or her disappointment in herself, is mainly not because she missed a relationship, but because when the previous couple met again, an old maiden who could not get married, and The other is the shining beetle-in-law, so she has to face humiliation and embarrassment from all quarters. Even if they don’t meet anymore, Anne is already a sympathetic character, let alone facing an old lover, facing his cynicism, sympathy, or avoidance, facing other people’s evaluation of his marriage, how can the feeling be embarrassing?
Austin is writing this In this work, she finally put aside her obscene tone, and began to write desperately facing reality, writing with the reality of her own old maiden, so she finally moved me.
