So you haven't read Pride & Prejudice the classic novel by Jane Austen? Well, you're in for a treat as this female author has written an amazing satire with cutting humor on the 19th-century social convention. Featuring a young outspoken Elizabeth Bennet, whose mother is obsessed with her marrying a well-to-do gentleman, and Mr. Darcy, a wealthy and seemingly arrogant would-be-suitor.

The most beautiful thing about the whole story? Elizabeth's father loves and cherishes her enough as a person that he is supportive of her choices, even when the consequences are potentially damaging to both herself and the future of her family. One of my favourite passages in the entire book is in the scene where she has just turned down Mr Collins and her mother tries using her father to force her into the union. Instead, he says, "Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr Collins, and I will never see you again if you do."

Actually, Darcy arranges a quick marriage between Wickham and Kitty when they had run away together, which could have ruined the family. So Darcy didn't rescue Kitty from Wickham, he quickly patched up Kitty' s impulsive mistake so it didn't effect the rest of the family.

@oceanmariep256 2 года назад

He still saved her, if only to the extent that she could possibly be saved. Running away with a man and returning home unmarried would have been seen as shameful, she wouldn’t have been able to marry at all. Instead her reputation remained mostly intact even if she married a scumbag.

I love the these "So You Haven't Read" episodes. It's also wonderful that you covered one of Jane Austen's greatest works. That little nod to Collin Firth at the end had me laughing so hard. Tho I must say I like Matthew Macfadyen more as Darcy. Side Note, have you considered talking about "Jane Eyre"? The book is essentially the precursor that establishes most of the tropes we use in romance films and literature we use today. Tho it doesn't pre-date Austen's work, Austen's work is more satirical rather than strictly romantic in the classical sense like Charlotte Bronte's work.

Austen is part of Realism genre and Brontes are from Romanticism. So they're the opposite corners of 19th century English romance literature.

@rachelk4805 7 месяцев назад

It's not that simple. They could be a governess, but their father didn't prioritize their education and they would have few credentials there. They could be companions but... they would all have to separately be successful at finding employment because absolutely everything, including the roof over their head, would be taken from them suddenly. They didn't live in a time where there were a lot of opportunities for women, they would have a very hard time supporting a family. And their children would suffer because of that. Class struggles may be the biggest struggle in society, but it is still wrong to only allow men to inherit property because they are men. So much of the class struggles today involve the inequitable economic opportunity available to women, still, in 2023. It was definitely part of the problem then.

@angelicasmodel 5 месяцев назад

The synopsis here oversimplfies the Bennet's finances. They have plenty of money to save, but Mr Bennet doesn't bother to. Mrs Bennet's father, a country attorney, was able to save up £4000 for one of two of his daughters. Mr Bennet barely added to this, so £5000 in total is all he bothered to put aside for his 5 daughters. A big part of the irony around Mrs Bennet is that her husband did nothing for his daughters.

@screamingalgae9380 3 месяца назад

@@angelicasmodel They kept expecting a son to prevent the entail. The novel mentions both Mrs. Bennet insisting she would have a son for years after Lydia's birth and that Mr. Bennet at least kept his wife's extravagance in check enough to avoid getting into debt (in Austen's novel _Persuasion_ , the heroine's irresponsible father is forced to rent out his estate to pay his debts).

@TheCommunistGamerTV 2 года назад

Just remember that if you want a film adaptation the BBC miniseries is the only real option. It's long, but doesn't feel it's length, and Mr. Darcy was the role Colin Firth was born to play. It's excellent and the Universal adaptation can't remotely compare.

@raphaelledesma9393 7 месяцев назад

I’d like to note that Mr Darcy became interested in Elizabeth just a little later than his friend Mr Bingley became interested in Jane. He admired her fine eyes and admitted that he liked her wit. He deigned to ask Elizabeth to dance in the next small gathering they were together in and again in Netherfield when Lizzy stayed over to care for Jane. In both times, Elizabeth rejected him but when he asked her at a ball she could no longer avoid it as rejecting ANYONE during a ball is a major Regency faux pas. This of course makes Mr Darcy’s interference with Bingley really very hypocritical.

(That's not a Brigerton reference, I saw the movie at 13 and that was my reaction) But I didn't realize how crucial it was for her to marry off her daughters. She only wanted what's best for them. It also makes me glad that things aren't like that anymore and a woman can make a life for herself with her own 2 hands.
