The film appears to be flirting with the idea of superficiality and romance and wit and depth of character but never really explores any tack at length, except the agonies of their love.
I agree completely. When I was watching Bright Star, especially the scenes when Keats is away for the summer, I expected some exploration into her immaturity and perhaps a shallowness to their love. Her inability to act and change their future and how they never marry and only just get engaged also showed two dimensionality, like their love was more of a dream than anything else. The epilogue instead challenges it with how she spent the rest of her life.. I think it says a lot about love in that sense.
