1. Becoming Jane 成為簡·奧斯汀
Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) is the youngest daughter of Reverend Austen and his wife (Julie Walters) and has yet to find a suitable husband. She wishes to be a writer, to the dismay of her mother and proud delight of her father (James Cromwell).
Thomas Lefroy (James McAvoy) is a promising lawyer with a bad reputation, which he describes as "typical" for peers of that era. After a bad first impression upon meeting him, Jane cannot stand the arrogant Irishman. She turns down the affections of numerous men, including Mr. Wisley (Laurence Fox), the nephew of the wealthy Lady Gresham (Maggie Smith). Wisley proposes, but Jane ultimately rejects him due to lack of affection. The mischievous Tom — later the inspiration for Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy — continues his advances and Jane begins to take the idea of marriage seriously. The two get to know each other gradually, however, and eventually they fall in love...
簡•奧斯汀（安妮·海瑟薇 Anne Hathaway 飾）的一生是否如她的文字那樣充滿曲折的過程和完滿的結局？《成為簡》用傳記方式描述她的一生：她的母親竭力為她撮合婚事，對象是上層社會的有錢人。但是簡不接受沒有愛情的婚姻，認為女人要靠自己的能力去養活自身。于是，她拒絕貴族瓦斯萊先生的求婚，愛上了心靈相通的湯姆•勒弗羅伊（詹姆斯·麥卡沃伊 James McAvoy 飾）。好事多磨，有人從中作梗，導致湯姆家人并不贊成二人婚事，湯姆決定攜簡私奔。但是這樣一來，湯姆的經濟來源就會被切斷，簡亦將面臨著世俗的壓力和貧困的生活。到底二人在私奔路上會走得多遠？會不會有美滿的結局？
