The Bront? Sisters' Home - Haworth

.A house faces thousands of graves and tombstones, and every room in the house looks like a corner of the cemetery. In any case, it cannot be called a lucky house. Coupled with the harsh climate change in the wilderness, it is no wonder that her mother and sisters, who were proficient in literature and painting, died young. Unstable weather in spring makes travel full of uncertain factors, and everything will follow her. The face has a different feel, especially in the UK where "sometimes cloudy with occasional showers" doesn't really describe how the weather changes throughout the day, there can be strong winds, showers, hail or snowflakes. Take a day trip school bus to Haworth in West Yorkshire, the hometown of the Bront? sisters and the authors of the famous British literary novels "Jane Eyre" and "Roaring Heights". For more than an hour, the weather was cloudy and rainy. The car traveled through South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire and arrived at a small town in the wilderness. The temperature is really low today, making people shiver. Haworth is situated on a slope, with its steep main street as the axis of development. All life functions occur on this stone path. The bus driver dropped us at the lowest entrance on the main street and let us walk to the museum reconstructed from the Parsonage Bronte House, which is the core attraction of the town. Braving the wind and rain, the narrator walks through the parish church at the top to the vicarage at the rear (A History of the Bront? Family's Residence: 1820-1861). A gentle English gentleman came out to greet him and gave us a wonderful tour for about an hour, covering the surroundings of the museum and the story of the Bront? family in this small town. We stood on the small green space in front of the museum, facing the church and an astonishing number of tombstones, and listened to him tell the story of the Bronte sisters' untimely death. Suddenly there was a strong wind and heavy rain, and everyone took out their rain gear. Although holding an umbrella in such a storm may not be useful, the determined Englishman continued his work as a professional tour guide despite the wind and rain without a frown. Keep taking us to the cemetery. When we arrived at the cemetery, the situation became even more bizarre. There was heavy hail in the sky, and my hand holding the umbrella was too cold to be myself. He continued speaking unyieldingly, watching the water droplets continue to flow down his ears, and finally even his nose. Really dedicated. After passing the cemetery, strangely enough, the sky was filled with blue and white clouds again. We are guided sequentially through the scenes around the church, including the forest path where Charlotte and her husband first met, the shops frequented by the sisters, and a barbershop he thought had the best name: Jane's Hair . Then the group went back to visit the museum. The museum's space remains circa the 1850s. The interior furnishings and furnishings of their residence contain many precious manuscripts and letters. The legendary priest family. The father is from Ireland and the mother is from Cornwall in southwest England. They gave birth to six children in one marriage, two of whom died young. The mother and three daughters all Died of lung disease at about thirty years old. But the three sisters left behind many popular classic novels when they were very young. In the British literary world, and even in the world's literary world, there are few families with so many people writing books. Although there is no such thing as cemetery feng shui in the Anglican faith, imagine a house facing thousands of graves and tombstones, with every room in the house looking like a corner of a cemetery. In any case, it cannot be called a lucky house. Coupled with the harsh climate change in the wilderness, it is no wonder that the mother and sisters, who were proficient in literature and painting, died so young, while the priest himself and Charlotte's husband lived to be more than 80 years old. Our spiritual town loves towns and stories like this, but is saddened by the untimely deaths of the three sisters. Such talented three sisters (Charlotte, Emily, Anne), their talents in poetry, novels and paintings were rare in the 19th century when gender inequality was a problem.

Charlotte also showed through literary creation that the role of women cannot be ignored. The heroine of "Jane Eyre" fully reflects the author's living environment and her own character. It describes how a little girl living in the wilderness stubbornly resists fate. This is very different from the female characters in the novels of her time. different. However, she still had to publish the novel under a male pseudonym. If you look at the huge white windmill standing on the mountain opposite to generate electricity, you will know how strong the wind is in this area. After visiting the museum, there was another storm outside, and groups of tourists took refuge in the museum’s souvenir shop. After a while, it was blue sky and white clouds again. This weather is really hard for tourists, but the shops on the main streets are very cheap, because in order to avoid the rain and keep warm, everyone is forced to enter the shops to spend money.

Such a mini town, because of the fame of the Bronte family, can even attract tourists from all over the world, especially Japanese. They enjoy visiting the hometown and former residence of the writer, and shops and interpretive information are also provided in Japanese. I remember that the last time I went to Grasmere in the Lake District, it was the hometown of the British romantic poet Wordsworth, and I also encountered a large number of Japanese people who went to incense. There are some long-established shops and teahouses in the shops on the main street, all of which maintain the old business model. There are no stores that accept credit cards, and you can borrow a credit card machine from the store next door. There are no cookie-cutter chain stores here either. She cannot satisfy the consumption behavior of ordinary people at all, but it gives people a warm and friendly treasure-hunting fun. I ended my day full and happy in very regular sunny and rainy weather. As I returned to the M1 motorway, a full and clear rainbow appeared in the sky, with a beautiful ending.
