It's not as ironic as I thought...

At the end of the play, the overall feeling is that Becky is not as utilitarian as he imagined: from a little girl who dared to make a bold bid, to the tutor of the Cowley family, and was recognized by the Cowley family and appreciated by Aunt Cowley, and brought her to the scene. London training, all this is so natural, Cowley's house can't be her end point, and at the same time, there is also a constraint on her development, so she seized the opportunity given to her by her old aunt, and at the same time, she used her own ability to go further. Show your talent on a high platform.
Later, I felt good about Roden and got married. Although I felt it was a pity, with her "ambition", Roden would not be her food, because Roden was just a gambler, he could not give her more space, the only thing It is possible that Roden can inherit his old aunt's legacy and move towards the so-called high society, but, commenting on Becky's IQ and Roden's reminder, it is not difficult for her to guess that the old aunt's stubborn thoughts will not let her. Her nephew's heir took a governess, and this result may cost Roden the chance to inherit the inheritance, but she still chooses him, because she seems to have fallen in love with the gambler and is willing to fight with him. The most impressive thing about the days they were together was that when he was about to set off on the expedition, Roden took out all the valuable things on his body. As long as it could be sold and worth some money, he had thought about it for her. For the tragedy that he may never return, he would rather put on his old military uniform and go to the front line, but also leave more money for his wife, how touching this moment is.
The married life was so difficult, and she had to do everything possible to earn money to support her family. The appearance of the Earl seemed to be a relief, but there is no free lunch in the world. His kindness only pulled her from a pit. It was just another trap he prepared, but Becky didn't realize it, because she wanted to continue this high-class life, so she didn't want to miss any such opportunity, which led to the tragedy of Roden's departure. . Although Roden couldn't give her the life she wanted, she loved him.
Without her husband and son by her side, Becky can only linger on the luxurious days to relieve the boring life, until the appearance of Emilia's son. How sad it was to meet Emilia again, but it was no longer like waiting for the return of the army and the return of the husband during the war, because they were not coming back. And what I can do at this time is to help this only friend find her happiness. She thought it was over like this, leaving her to grow old alone, but at the end, the original tough suitor reappeared, making her life see hope again, and living in the eyes of thousands of people again. · ·
After all, Becky has made progress. Her unwillingness led her to fly to a higher place, and that was her pursuit. Because she knew very well that her father, a person with high pursuits in art, had nothing in life and could only die in poverty. Therefore, she wants to pursue a balance and pursue art in a carefree life. But life is so realistic. When there is a big gap between reality and ideal, she wants to seize every opportunity to achieve her goal, because she is always nostalgic for the emptiness in the upper class society.
In stark contrast to Becky's life is the life of her friend Emilia, who originally grew up in a wealthy family. Facing the sudden bankruptcy of her father, her poor life did not make her fall, which is rare. The so-called transition from thrift to extravagance is easy, and from extravagance to thrift is difficult. It is so precious that she, who has long been accustomed to a superior life, can return to an embarrassed life so calmly. And Emilia's life is exactly what Becky wants to get rid of. The most important thing is that she was so obsessed with George that even if he died, she still couldn't forget him. In the face of Dubin's silent sacrifice, she could only treat him like a friend. In the end, it was under the beating of Becky that he woke up from the dream and finally bravely went to find his own happiness.
