I believe that in the heart of every girl, there will be a shadow of Mr. Rochester lurking, waiting for an opportunity at any time.
They are mature, they have experience with women, they understand your needs, they can comfort you and encourage you, they can pretend to be full of freshness and good expectations about the world like you, and they know how to maintain a mature image in it;
They are rational, they can control their burning desires, they won't pay too much attention to and ignore you, they won't hurt you, they understand the atmosphere you've been looking forward to, and let you know that the love between men and women can be estrous or just polite a reasonable and beautiful response to theirs;
they are rich, and whether you care about his money or not, he will turn that into an advantage to buy your favor. They know how to make money, and they don't hide the blood and tears of primitive accumulation, so they don't naively defend themselves too much, but use another set of value systems that you are not familiar with to rationally explain.
They are not angry and powerful. They use their popularity among friends and orders in the workplace to show his status and let you know that this man has a lot of background. On the one hand, it increases your vanity and on the other hand conquers you. of self-esteem, and willingly bowed his head in front of him.
They even take advantage of their imperfections, they seem to understand the "incompleteness principle" of psychology, he doesn't call himself a saint, he doesn't care if you get tangled up in a bunch of nasty lads because it lowers his Identity, he will only subtly use your empathy when confronted with a real threat.
If you analyze it carefully, the same is true for David, Rochester, Darcy, and Colonel Trapp in "The Sound of Music", as well as Yu Zecheng and Song Siming.

This film, to be honest, is not very good. The British-style restraint and arrogance make the film not visually exciting at all. Instead, it becomes a documentary showing the European style, recording a member of the "Paris Syndrome". How to fall into and be expelled from fashion.
However, I was moved by the words Jenny said after returning to school after a failed marriage in the film - "The life I want, there are no shortcuts".

In Britain in the 1960s, a Times reporter (Lyn Babel's memoirs) had such an experience, which did not surprise me. After all, this was no longer the idyllic love of the Victorian era, and the opening of education. And with the rise of hippie urban culture, life has opened up to every man and woman, and everyone has seen a bizarre world as attractive as marijuana - which is why Jenny's classmates adore her so much : Paris, on behalf of fashion, literature and art, winks at the dull Brits, seemingly ill-intentioned waiting for them to defect and throw their arms around.

Therefore, Jane Eyre can go farther as a teacher, and at the same time practice her ideal of education while meeting the needs of her own time. In Paris, there are many things as mature, rich, sensible and majestic as Mr. Rochester. , Cambridge University is one of them.
Jenny wakes up from one dream and enters into another, the same way, except that Mr. Rochester is drained.
