This week he have being seeing “Pride and Prejudice”, is a novel by Jane Austen. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England.

The fight of Elizabeth against the social rules, and the complications of love makes this novel very intriguing and interesting. Charles Bingley best friend, Mr. Darcy an arrogant and obnoxious person, how told him that Elizabeth wasn’t a woman good enough for Charles, get’s in love with the only person that wasn’t “good enough” for a marriage and everything went crazy. Mr. Darcy finds himself increasingly attracted to Elizabeth’s charm and intelligence. And a not corresponded love begins.

 

This novel helps us understand the idea of an alienated character. This is a character that is different from his reality and it can be seen at the book we just read: “To Kill a Mockingbird”, where Boo Radley is an alienated character as Elizabeth is.

Clip Analysis Questions

1. Why do you think "Pride and Prejudice" continues to be a referent for modern tales?

Pride and Prejudice is still a referent for modern tales because it deals with huge issues like: not corresponded love and the use of alienated characters. This combination of factors makes an ideal love novel.

2. What do you think is the effect that these different authors (film directors, producers, modern writers) want to achieve in today's audiences?

The idea of the different film directors or authors is to give the story, their own style. This makes every movie rich in ideas, and unique. The zombie version of Pride and Prejudice, is  a different version of the story but it has the same base of all of them (the base of the story).

3. If you had to choose one of the previous versions to analyse, which would be the one and why?

I'll have chosen the Pride and Prejudice of 2005, because It seems like a movie with an excellent setting and better staging. Also it seems is the version that conserves better the plot of the movie.
