Why is Mr. Collins depicted as an old man? He's already the creepy cousin as it is. Depicting him as an old man just makes him creepier that he wants to marry one of the girls.
Did you read the book? Darcy never apologized or said he was wrong about breaking up Jane and Bingly. He said that he made the decision based on what he observed, and did what he thought was best for his friend.
Mrs. Bennet was not an old nun. She was probably in her 40s and dressed with lots of frills and lace. Mr. Collins was not an old man with a cane. He was a young man, just starting life as a curate. 2. It wasn't Darcy's family that "cut him off"; it was just Darcy (according to Wickham). Soldiers wore red coats, which Lydia and Kitty were attracted to. Typo at 6:29. Should be "Maybe I was PREJUDICED against Darcy." Lady Catherine was not a homeless woman; she was an imperious daughter of an earl, filthy rich, and owner of a large estate.
Everyone watching this should read the book Pride: a pride and prejudice remix it’s by Ibi Zoboi. Its a modern retelling and it’s shorter than the original for all of you not willing to read an older longer book.
You made critical mistakes including misspelling the author's name when you know kids are using this to get out of reading the book! Kids, please at least spell the authors name right or the teacher will know immediately what's up!
Umm, it's Jane Austen, not Austin. Please don't change the name of such an influencial Regency writer! There are even teachers who would flip at having their students missname an author or character.
I feel bad for anyone during that era who had to marry solely for practical reasons... Imagine having to consummate a marriage with someone you found fundamentally unattractive whom you hardly knew, esp. in arranged marriages... UGH! I 'spose in that day, they were so used to it that they just thought of it as, "you gotta do what you gotta do." Still though.... I am SO grateful that today we have options!
Actually, Longbourn was a country estate, not merely a house. Moreover, Mr Bennet had an income of £2,000 a year (the figure is mentioned in Chapter Seven) which was a very large sum at the time. For example, lawyers earned around £400 per annum.
Could someone help me figure out a way to make a SUPER SHORT SUMMARY for this story? I need to include it in a oral presentation in class and my presentation has to be under 4 minutes😭 this story was really long and had many important things happen that I'm struggling to shorten it even more! Please assistance is needed.
I love this so much cause I love these stories but I do not like reading so it is great that I can enjoy these stories to I especially like Shakespeare thank you so much
If you have any children who might enjoy Jane Austen, then the Real Reads books are a great way to introduce them to the stories without overwhelming them... Aimed at children between 7 and 12, the Real Reads stories begin with an illustrated cast of characters, followed by the “meat” of the novel, and finally a section called “Taking Things Further”. Here is where the series really shines. First you are given “The Real Read”, a paragraph about the original novel, and where to find it. Secondly, a section entitled “Filling in the Blanks”, for as they say in the book. Perfect books to introduce the younger reader to Jane Austen.

It can be hard for a person with modern sensibilities to relate to the foibles of English society at this time in history. I suppose that the prospect of marrying for love rather than money and social advantage is an enduring theme, but I still have to question the relevance of this story to modern life. Much of it went by me as I struggled to appreciate the pervasive social snobbery that seemed to dominate Ms. Austen's society.
If I had to give a remotely useful reply: prejudice, we all have our ways of seeing things and tend to color our views of others who are not exactly like us in whatever way most annoys as well as take offense and jump to conclusions too easily. And much like the two main protagonists, in doing so, sometimes we alienate or lose opportunities with people that could have been dear friends or lovers, who turned out not at all what we imagined, even falling for people like Wickam who turned out to be a villain and would not have if we could just set aside our own preconceived notions of "the other." I would say on the family, it's also about not running your mouth and making an idiot of yourself (Tell me that doesn't make you think of tick tock), but also knowing when to speak up, which is probably why the outfits in this video made me laugh so hard. Once you look past the specific issues of the day and see it for what it is, a set of timeless issues, it's really not as hard as you think. Hope that helps.
Please everyone, I am a student, my Dr. asked me to bring a film or a novel or a song that is carrying the same idea of pride and prejudice, please tell me soon the name of anything ( film, novel or song) you know about that .
Try listening to it on audible. Some really good voice actors do it. Maybe watch a movie first to make it easier. Pride and prejudice has a lot of adaptations even the zombie one was faithful, with that one add-on weaved through.
Hello The Book Tutor! Great video!!!! PLEASE CAN YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION ABOUT THE BOOK? Who do you think is more guilty of prejudice - Elizabeth or Darcy? Explain why.
Darcy was pride while Elizzy was prejudice as in chapter XI ... Darcy began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention...please join me in wattsap 00249915210410
Is this a homework question? Because of social class distinctions of the time, Darcy is prejudiced against those of inferior station. He expects certain behavior from them, without recognizing that it can vary from person to person. This is why he's surprised that Mr. Gardiner, a tradesman, and his wife, are cultured, intelligent, and fashionable. Elizabeth is only prejudiced about Darcy, who wounded her pride at the Meryton assembly. It's her prejudice against him that allowed her to believe Wickham's lies. Of the two, Darcy is far more guilty of both pride and prejudice.
this book its about how women se men as money bags, not once in the book she sees darcy as a normal man, and i wonder why she had the change of heart after visiting his giant home. still its a very good book. full of shameless people.
I feel like you could probably cut that from the book, and the story would generally stay on track. She'd still see he wasn't a bad person, after what he did for Kit, and that whole letter eplaining things.
