. If Darcy only exists in dreams, then Christopher tietjens walked out of fairy tales and into reality.
"Parade's end", the end of the queue The charm of tietjens is not immediate, but subversive. So many, so many reserved, free and easy girls can't extricate themselves soon after they fix their eyes. But Benedict Cumberbatch looks like an oversized dental tray in his mouth, almost weirdly ugly. And the style of a person's body is like a flowing note. He, tietjens, is surrounded by a noble and elegant, rigorous and restrained British style. He is parade's end, the last gentleman of the British Empire who believes in the traditional morality of the knight era.
The novel was written after the First World War, and the last decade before the war in England has lost its dreamlike serenity. People are tired of fairy tales and false love stories. With an orthodox aristocratic family, good morals, and a decent tall image, tietjens seems to have an out of place pedantic air. When surrounded by lies, hypocrisy, indulgence, ridicule and all other unbearable realities, he turned a deaf ear to the Encyclopedia Britannica; he married a glamorous high-class lady but was caught off guard in front of her free soul No way; he met the woman he wanted but couldn't go against his faith and fidelity to marriage was inconsistent. He is so upright and kind, respectful and upright, with deep self-restraint, but also so worried and weak, forbearance and retreat. Tietjen lives at the pen of critical realism, and he really comes to us from his work.
A true gentleman has enough respect and sympathy, enough responsibility and tolerance. Such a Gentlman couldn't help but love him from the bottom of his heart.
