In these recent years, relaity TV is more ans more popular. In the aticle "Reality TV: Surprising Throwback to The Past", the author mentions Lisa Shannon in Cupid who wants to choose her husband through the reality TV show. The situation is surprising similar witn in 19 centry.
In 19 centry, marrige has been decided in the same way with the TV show. "there's something familiar about the fortune hunters, the status seekers, the thwarted loves, the meddling friends, the public displays, the comic manners, and the sharp competitiveness---all find their counterpart in Jane Austen and Edith Wharton." "Only now, three-minutes get-to-know-you tryouts in a TV studio substitute for three-minute waltzes at a ball". The stiuation is in the same way.
The 19 centry ethos shows "A woman who is not married by her late 20s is dommed to be an Old Maid." That is why Lisa wants to go to the TV show, and the "she has put herself in the hands of others, trusting taht they will choose the right match." Lisa said "I've been looking for Mr. Right and I've just not been able to find him, based on my track road, I obviously need help." Yes, everyone will make mistake, so they need help. Lisa and he Mr. Right who selected for her continued to date in the year following Cupid's conclusion. Maybe it is a good result.
