Pride and Prejudice By: Maegan Dilks and Kyranna Gilstrap
What Is Pride and Prejudice? • A wonderful romance (especially for teenage girls) • Takes place somewhere between 1811-1820 • An excellent movie, well written and well produced • Based on the book by Jane Austen
The Story • The Bennet family: Mr and Mrs., Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Katie, and Lydia • Daughters goal is to marry well (in reality the mother’s goal • There is a ball where Mr. Bingley falls in love with Jane and Elizabeth meets Mr. Darcy who she doesn’t like. • Jane catches a cold so forced to stay at Netherfield with Bingley
Continued…. • Elizabeth stays with Jane and Darcy realizes his attraction to her • The Bennets return to their home and Mr. Collins arrives and maries Charlotte Lucas (Elizabeth’s best friend) • Then Mr. Darcy and the Bingleys leave town and provide no further contact
Continued… • Elizabeth visits Charlotte and Mr. Collins in there new home and meets Lady Catherine. Mr. Darcy and Coronel Fitzwilliam are with Lady Catherine • Elizabeth finds our it was Darcy who led Bingley away from her sister • Darcy proposes and is rejected
Continued...(replacing chronology slide) • Elizabeth goes with relatives on vacation to Brighton. Lydia vacations in London • Lydia runs away with Mr. Wickam • Darcy apologizes to Elizabeth, finds Lydia and pays for her marriage. • Mr. Bingley returns to Jane and marries her • Elizabeth changes her mind about Darcy and marries him • That’s the jist.
Character Inaccuracies • The director and screenwriter did not put Mr. and Mrs. Hurst in the movie. Mrs. Hurst is the other Bingley sister who was always with Caroline Bingley. They kind of made Caroline and Mrs. Hurst one in the same, and got rid of Mr. Hurst all together. • If Jane Austen had thought her character not important, she wouldn’t of created them.
Setting/Costumes/Visual • Man not seen playing a pianoforte • Women trained in arts admirable (Mr. Darcy speaks of this) • Costumes • Houses • Mary carrying sheet music to a ball • An Italian song sung in English • The lighting of the rooms. (too bright for candles) Accurate Inaccurate
Language/Social Values • Languages • Arranged Marriages • Marriages for convenience • Dance couple order • What dances should have been danced to • Social equality (the director tries to portray more than is there) Accurate Inaccurate
Overall • Many historical accuracies • But also historical inaccuracies • Great movie • Well made • Would recommend this as a chick flick • Shows what a long way “love” has come in its importance in our world • Helps current watchers to understand how little power women truly had
