But I will say that even without £5,000, Becky is a good woman, better than a thousand men.
Perhaps because I haven't read the original Thackeray, I still have a lot of admiration for Ritz Weathersburn's Becky after she has racked her brains time and time again to break into high-society schemes. What a high-spirited attitude to life!
Becky came from a poor family, her mother was a French singer, and her father was a poor painter. Becky was determined to break free from poverty since she was a child, and there is nothing to blame for this. However, her meticulous thinking and the tiger's fur in the end failed. When she stayed in a German restaurant after notoriety, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Becky for such a tragedy, lamenting that she was born at an untimely time. So when Becky's whole family was finally carried on the Indian elephant, I still wondered whether the original author gave her such a wonderful home.
I sympathize with Becky, not all her actions the same. She's not a vase, she's smarter and more talented than anyone in the Pete Cowley family. As a female governess of a declining noble, she was not intimidated by the unsatisfactory living environment, nor did she complain about others, but was diligent and diligent in teaching her students well. At the same time, she takes every opportunity to escape the environment she hates.
If there is a tragedy in the middle, it may be because Becky's cunning is not thorough enough. She was reluctant to marry an old man, of course because the old man did not have enough money; but in the end, when she rejected Sir Stan, it was enough to prove that she was better than some of the people who would rather commit themselves to the rich and noble after China's reform and opening up. People must be strong. Because Becky didn't give up on love.
Seriously, I had doubts at the time about Becky's feelings for that frivolous, slightly childish Rowton. Even when she told the Cowleys that she thanked God for such a good husband even with no inheritance, I still doubted it. I've always thought she and Lawton had similar tastes. One is selfish, the other is lazy. But I liked how the story developed, especially her farewell to Lawton before the Battle of Waterloo. A person like Lawton who seems to be incompetent and can only spend money would actually arrange a retreat for his wife so carefully. He hilariously said to Becky, I wear my old uniform to the field so you can sell that new uniform for 30 pini. so cool, no need to mention other similar lines.
