I always think if you like some book or movie very much, there must have much highly possibility that the character of the movie fits you, or say clearly, you can see you, an ideal you which have a more enrich life with an happy ending.
I CAPTURE THE CASTLE is one for me, it more like a mixture vision of PIRDE AND PREJUDICE and JANE EYRE which are my favourite books. Cassandra was intelligent and sincere like Elizabeth, as Simon said: "you are alway wise beyond your age", maybe she still can't compare with Liz that she wasn't that so self-conscious, she was in struggle wanted to know what does she really want, but the GOD would forgive her that she was still a young girl and worked so hard, she already knows what doesn't she want. Cassandra was sensitive and stubborn like Jane, we all can see the grow up in her after all that experience, she made the same decision like Jane, she said no with no hesitation when she got the Simon's invitation before he was went back to America, even though she still so in love with him.
"I love, i have loved, and i will" like the love declaration of Cassandra, which touched me very much, and feel ashamed at the same time for i never have the courage to be in love, even though i always believe what Cassandra said "Still, better all that hurt than to known no pain, learned nothing." Sometimes i yelled to myself "what's wrong with you", all that reasonable and unreasonable excuses came to me, after all that introspection i still cannot united an opinion, but i am happy what i have been realized, and i will love, i know.
