The movie can be summarized like this; first of all, Jane was forced to marry with a rich man (Wisley) although she did not feel affection to him, his snooty aunt disdained Jane and her family just because they were poor, that’s why Jane’s mother wanted her daughter to marry with a rich man not to be a woman ridiculous and despised like her. Unfortunately, someone has sent a letter to Tom's uncle portraying Jane as a husband hunter. Tom said he wanted his uncle to meet Jane for himself but his uncle was horrified and outraged.Unfortunately, Tom didn’t have the courage to leave his uncle. Jane tearfully left. After a short time, Tom appeared again and offered Jane to forsake everything else and elope. However, Jane found a letter in his pocket that is from his family thanking him for the money he has been sending.She believed that if she marries him, the guilt she feels will gradually erode their love. She told Tom goodbye and left again.
After I watch that film I impressed the character of Jane Austen so much. She was kind of a rebel to the authority of her family and social customs of her period. She could talk to a prominent judge or a wealthy Lady; she could explain her independent thoughts. She was strong and tough although she was emotional underneath. She was such a tomboy; in a screen she played cricket like men, indeed she successed. She was genius with a sense of humor.
According to me, this autobiography may be helpful for a counselor to understand certain concerns of people; for example, a mother’s concerns about her daughter’s future, a student’s concerns about his fight to survive his family from poverty, a woman’s concerns about raising his voice, standing on her own, marrying with whom she feels love and affection. These concerns were processed successfully in the movie; especially the quotations about these were very good according to me. For example, in a screen Mrs. Austen said “Affection is desirable. Money is absolutely indispensable!” that reflects clearly her concerns about her daughter. In another screen for example, Tom Lefroy said “How can you, of all people, dispose of yourself without affection?” and Jane Austen answered “How can I dispose of myself with it?” pointing her desperation in their love. A lot of quotations like these showing their concerns about their lives made us understand concerns are the likely the same in every period of time and in every corner of the world.
