sad Jane

Having seen so many stories of Jane Austin with happy endings, I never imagined her life would be like this. A sarcastic person who always attacks the conceit and stupidity of others, even the poor old library man who helped her. Her sarcasm hurt others as well as herself. The doctor who had admired her heard her say, "I laugh at people who have nothing to do with me." After that, she never complimented her again. It seemed to hurt her again, but who caused it? And she said that she was not tempted, but her performance revealed everything. It was also her sarcasm that drove Fanny's sweetheart away, because people always thought that the aunt and nephew were secretly laughing at him. Just look at her family, her mother also treats him with hypocritical feelings, because Jian always laughs at the true feelings of others. Once anyone reveals the true feelings, they will immediately get ridiculed by Miss Austin, so even the hug of the mother and daughter is also fake. This is all caused by meanness. I have never thought meanness is an optimistic attitude, meanness just gives the impression of being rude, impatient, small-minded, not tolerant enough to highlight ignorance, and completely unable to show intelligence. So Jane's bleak life is mostly a price to pay for being mean. But I still agree with what she said, don't go into a marriage without love, follow the instructions of your heart, maybe this is the only innocence contained in her story!
