Recently I was browsing through some tv programs, looking for a good movie to watch. Amongst the many, some that I had seen and some that I had not, I found a movie called "Becoming Jane". I ended up choosing that movie because it was about Jane Austen's life.
"Becoming Jane" is a story about a girl who has a big passion for writting and wants to make a living out of it. But in the era she lives it is hard for women to make a living for themselves and usually they depend on the husband's job and money.
Jane's family isn't wealthy and so her mother insists she marries a rich gentleman named Mr. Wisley, who proposes to her partially because he likes her and partially because his aunt wants him to marry her.
But Jane is living in a world of her own. She meets a handsome young man, a lawyer from London named Tom. After bickering with each other for a bit they end up falling in love.
Tom takes Jane to his uncle's house in London so that the two can meet and Tom's uncle can accept Jane for the person she is and let Tom marry her. But his uncle doesn't want Tom to marry someone who hasn't got any money so he doesn't approve of the pair.
Tom and Jane decide to runaway, marry in secret and live their love away from everyone. But after finding a letter in Tom's jacket's pocket, Jane decides to go back home saying to Tom that their relationship would never work.
After some years Jane is a famous and successful novel author and Tom is a successful lawyer. The two of them meet in a social event and Tom introduces his daughter to Jane. When meeting they realise they never stopped loving each other.
I am a fan of novels and I am a fan of Jane Austen's stories. I have never read any of her books but I have seen "Pride & Prejudice - The Movie" based on her book "Pride & Prejudice". I really want to collect all of her books and fall in love with her incredible writting and imagination. Watching this movie has helped me understand her better as well as her stories - or ar least the one I know. I really look foward to getting my hands on all of her masterpieces and deeply submerge into the captivating love stories!
Love,
