Plot introduction:

Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) illuminates the whole world with her words, cleverness and wisdom. Her life is also full of passion and love. 1796, twenty-year-old Jane met Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy). Their relationship became a legend in real life, and the love story became the greatest work in her life.

In British society at that time, getting married for love was a stupid game. Money determines the operation of the whole hierarchical world. Mr. and Mrs. Austen knew this very well when they married their youngest daughter. Just a simple mind, independent and rebellious spirit, with the arrogance and prejudice of young people, decided to marry for love.

Even so, parents still hope to choose a rich and promising husband for Jane. Mr. Vacelet is the ideal choice, and he is the nephew of the local aristocrat and the famous and very rich Mrs. grisham (maggie smith). Although they tried their best to promote it, they were rejected.

Later, she met a young Irishman, Tom Lefroy. He is a lawyer intern and came to Hampshire from London with Jane's brother Henry. He is handsome and clever, but he is also poor. He is not interested in simple and simple country life. But soon I found Jane Austen, and she was my soul mate. The two found countless hobbies for each other. They quarreled in the forest and danced at the crowded ball. She is better at playing cricket. He sent tom jones to her to study. Two people fell in love.

But they are being watched all the time. Mrs grisham looked at all this coldly, while Vacelet was always hopeful. The opposition of parents and relatives forced them to make a decision. Tom proposed eloping, and the consequences were obviously disastrous. Jane's family is in a bad financial situation, and she will also face poverty and shame. Lefroy's Irish family also wanted him to get ahead. If they choose to escape, everything will be destroyed: family, friends and wealth. At their age full of sensibility and impulse, will they really take this step?
