4.Pride and Prejudice의 귀부인과 비교
the son of a clergyman in the Church of England. Goldsmith grew up in genteel poverty in rural isolation
in a society in which the barriers of class were as firm as the Great Wall of China; in which riches and poverty,
benevolence or tyranny, seemed as wayward as the winds of heaven.
and there he began to discover his true predicament—that he was a poor man, wretchedly poor,
so poor that hunger lived with him like a wife and starvation became not a fanciful trope but a threat.
And he was an ugly man, really ugly, and never desired.

but avoid a school by any means.”
