I watched the movie Becoming Jane this weekend. I don't know how close to the truth this plot comes to Jane Austen's life story, but it does make for a good movie.
Set in England in 1795, the movie is about 20-year-old Jane Austen, an aspiring writer who wants to marry for love instead of marrying for money and social standing. Her father, a church pastor, wants Jane to be happy, while her mother wants her to marry someone wealthy so that Jane’s life will be easier than her own.
Then of course Mr. Tom Lefroy shows up and Jane falls in love with him, but *sigh* Tom is not wealthy, and is dependant on his uncle for money.
I really enjoyed this movie and will have to add it to my DVD collection.
