Becoming Jane -

This is the crucible of the film. It is the moment where the "girl" dies and the "author" is born. By sacrificing her own happiness, Jane gains the perspective necessary to write the endings for her heroines that she could not have for herself. The film suggests that had Jane married Tom and become a wife and mother in Ireland, the world would have lost Pride and Prejudice . We would have lost the author.
