hello SGland !! I hope you are all well! what's your favorite story about Jane Austen ??
my favorite story of Jane Austen, pride and prejudice we are introduced to the intelligent and determined Elizabeth Bennet, the second daughter of a family that is composed entirely of girls. Despite knowing that the possibilities of social advancement for a woman were limited to a good marriage, Lizzie was always convinced that only true love could take her to the altar.
Despite its setting in the 19th century, history is still fascinating, especially among women: it touches the sensitive strings of marriage due to interest and the role of women in society. Published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice centers its history on Elizabeth Bennet, a young woman who needs to deal with the problems surrounding her existence in English society from a macho and conservative era.
With her sensibility-laden pen, Jane Austen, both in Pride and Prejudice and in other novels, explored the woman's miserable situation based on what her time and society allowed. Despite being conservative, however, Jane Austen puts women in a much better combat situation than the vexing contemporary girls who decide to give up everything to become a vampire, or else to serve as a target for the whip or the gags of a silly rich man who it only seduces even those who are extremely needy and lack common sense.
if love depended only on the first impression we have of people, love relationships would be in severe decline, and if this rule applied to the novel Pride and Prejudice, none of the characters would marry in the end (perhaps only Jane and Bingley). Elizabeth would remain proud and Darcy prejudiced, but thankfully there are second chances!
Elizabeth does not like Darcy in the first meeting between the two, nor in the second, nor in the third. In fact, she only starts to think about him positively when they, in fact, know each other - they talk, apologize for their mistakes and open themselves up to other worldviews than their own. Elizabeth doesn't exist just to make Darcy a better man, nor the other way around. Both are equally developed and three-dimensional characters. It is almost impossible to read Pride and Prejudice without empathizing or identifying with them.
for lovers of classical music like me, certainly did not fail to be enchanted by the soundtrack and faithful photography for the time.

both the book and the film are very incredible, of course the film has some differences to make something more romanticized and cute.
XOXO 😘😘
