Jane Austen
What is love?
看了作者的故事,更能體會傲慢與偏見…在鄉下長大的女孩,希望能嫁給心中理想的對象~~偏偏又剛好很有錢的劇情
“My sweet, sweet friend, you’ll sink, and we will all sink with you”.
“Don’t speak or think. Just love me. Do you love me”?
“Yes. But if our love destroys your family, it will destroy itself. In a long, slow degradation of guilt and regret and blame, it’s truth. Made from contradiction, but it must come with a smile. Or else I shall count it as false and we shall have had no love at all.”
這是Jane說的,最後終身未嫁,靠著自己的努力生活著。
“I will live by my pen. My characters will have, after a little bit of trouble, all that they desire”.
為什麼,總是要在困難的環境下,才會有好的作品。
Jane是一個例子, Potter 也是。
下面是傲慢與偏見的某段文字,剛剛好符合了Jane的感情故事...
“She began to realise that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was a union that must have been to the advantage of both. By her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved, and from his judgment, information and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance. But no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what connubial felicity really was”.
