The BBC drama "South and North" revisited it, and said with great excitement. It's a pity that Mrs. Gaskell's talent is not comparable to Austin's. In short, I didn't watch her "Cranford", which may be the reason for my impetuous mood.
"South and North" has two lines, one is the contradiction between employers and workers in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, and the other is the love entanglement between Thorton and female pig's feet. I'm more interested in the first article, and the female pig's foot's strong and somewhat feminist character. I don't know if we have been instilled with a lot of hard education and hatred of capitalists since we were young. I couldn't help but tilt the emotional balance to the side of the workers, which directly caused me to have no feelings for the cold but charming MR Thorton and It is full of disdain for the capitalists and workers to reach an agreement that is as good as falling in love.
It's either a fight to the death or a tai chi gossip that goes back and forth again and again. The conflicts between capitalists and workers are not so easy to resolve. Look at China today.
Alas, women writers just lack observation in this area. But she wrote the female pig's feet, I love it very much. She is going to be born now, and I will try my best to strike up a conversation with her.
