"The Complete Novels of Jane Austen" contains all 6 novels written by the great female writer Jane Austen in her life, namely "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility", "Northanger Abbey", "Mansfield Park", "Emma" and "Persuasion". These stories are not complicated, and they all write about the eternal topics of mankind: love and marriage. Most of the stories are set in English villages with three or four families, and the protagonists are just young girls from squire families. However, the stories written are like the waves in a tea cup, exploring the problems of women's love and marriage such as "reason and emotion, pride and prejudice, money and marriage, love and being loved, singleness and marriage, persuasion and self". Even after two hundred years, it is still called "the world is awake" and has great enlightenment significance for women's choice of marriage and love. "Sense and Sensibility" is Jane Austen's first work. Director Ang Lee adapted the original film of the same name. It uses the different reactions and experiences of a pair of sisters with very different personalities in their relationship to explore the question of "which is more important, rationality or sensibility, in love and life." "Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's most popular work and one of the most translated masterpieces in the world. It describes the story of Elizabeth, a young girl without inheritance rights, and Darcy, the noble prince, who resolve misunderstandings and come together. It proves that "misunderstandings between people are nothing more than pride and prejudice." "Northanger Abbey" is an excellent satirical comedy about a well-matched couple. Through the various adventures and encounters of a "fake daughter" full of romantic fantasy in the castle, it reveals the inseparable relationship between "marriage and money". "Mansfield Park" is praised by readers as the British version of "Dream of Red Mansions" and is also an Austen work that Maugham especially liked. It tells the story of Fanny, who has been dependent on others since she was a child, and persists in the love of her heart, and repeatedly rejects the passionate pursuit of the rich man Crawford. It highlights the independent attitude of women: "If you love me, should I love you?" "Emma" is called "Jane Austen's most mature work" by critics. It goes against the previous setting of "poor and kind" heroine. Through the marriage and love story of Emma, ​​a willful and intelligent wealthy daughter, it inspires economically independent women to have the freedom to choose "not to marry" or "to get married". "Persuasion" is based on the experiences of Jane Austen and her sister. It describes the obedient and gentle "older leftover" Anne's search for the courage of herself and love many years later, and analyzes the balance problem of "others' persuasion and self-will" that women commonly face.
