「Colonel Brandon Leaves the Picnic」を読み解く

What's really going on

The scene is a study in how a party handles an absence. Brandon's sudden exit is treated first as a puzzle and then as a joke; Willoughby turns it into a performance with 'Frailty, thy name is Brandon,' which gets a laugh and shows how easily the group dismisses a man it does not need. The line also quietly sets up the real reason for Brandon's journey, which the film keeps secret for now. Meanwhile Willoughby is doing something more calculated: he tells Marianne he would rebuild Combe Magna to look like her cottage, and says it 'has one claim on my affections that none other can possibly share.' Coming from him, the compliment is perfect because it is exactly the kind of romantic speech she wants to believe.
