1. Which version of the novel is more appealing?novel or film?why?
Film just because,
Watching a motion picture is an inherently more passive experience than reading a book. Yet it imparts content in a much more easily consumable way than a book of commensurate length. Movies are more tangible, visual, and compact than comparable written works, and are easier to remember.
2. Character of Elizabeth Bennet
Elizabeth Bennet is the protagonist in the 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. She is often referred to as Eliza or Lizzy by her friends and family. Elizabeth is the second child in a family of five daughters. Though the circumstances of the time and environment push her to seek a marriage of convenience for economic security, Elizabeth wishes to marry for love.
Elizabeth Bennet Personality
Elizabeth is regarded as the most admirable and endearing of Austen's heroines.[1] She is considered one of the most beloved characters in British literature[2] because of her complexity. Austen herself described Elizabeth as "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print.
Elizabeth Bennet is bold, intelligent, and independent, with a witty sense of humor. She considers herself to be a proper young lady and a good judge of character. However, throughout the novel, Lizzy realizes that she is not perfect; she does misjudge people at times, and her pride eggs on these mistakes. Furthermore, her prejudice leads to her struggling to understand other peoples' points of view. Throughout the novel, Elizabeth Bennet's character evolves to become more humble and empathetic while maintaining that signature confidence in who she is.
3 .Character of Mr. Darcy
Darcy exhibits all the good and bad qualities of the ideal English aristocrat — snobbish and arrogant, he is also completely honest and sure of himself. Darcy is not actually a titled nobleman, but he is one of the wealthiest members of the landed gentry — the same legal class that Elizabeth's much poorer family belongs to. While Darcy's sense of social superiority offends people, it also promotes some of his better traits. As Wickham notes in his sly assessment, "His pride never deserts him; but with the rich, he is liberal-minded, just, sincere, rational, honorable, and perhaps agreeable — allowing for fortune and figure."
It is, in fact, his ideal of nobility that makes Darcy truly change in the novel. When Elizabeth flatly turns down his marriage proposal and tells him that it was ungentlemanly, Darcy is startled into realizing just how arrogant and assuming he has been. He reflects later on why he was that way: "I was spoiled by my parents, who though good themselves . . . allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing . . . to think meanly of all the rest of the world." Darcy's humbling makes him more sensitive to what other people feel. In the end, he is willing to marry into a family with three silly daughters, an embarrassing mother, and Wickham as a brother-in-law. It may be that he becomes more easygoing about other people's faults because he is now aware of his own
4.Give illustration of the society of that time (jane austens presentation)
Jane Austen is one of the prominent novelists whose brilliantly witty and elegantlystructured satirical fiction marks the transition in English literature from 18th
century neo-classicism to 19thcentury romanticism. Austen was born and brought up at a rectory inthe small village of Steventon, Hampshire. Though not financially well off, her familymaintained a great social connection throughout the community. As a young girl, Janewas encouraged to read books from the extensive family library and express herselfthrough writing. It was this loving and spirited family environment that played a major
role in shaping her as a novelist. It can be said that Austen’s life and surroundingstruly
resembles her novels.No writer, it may be presumed, is so conscious of her limitations as Austen who neverfelt the temptation of essaying beyond her range. In all her novels, she strictly focusesher attention on the lives of people of upper middle-class world of nineteenth century England and doesn’t move the strata above or below it.It is the world which typicalmiddle-class country people lived in early nineteenth century Britain. And the result issheer perfection of the domestic novels of all times. This is evident by such epiest as two inches of ivory’ or ‘ivory towered’ employed by critics to indicate the
perfection attained by her in her small world of the country bourgeois. It is needless to say that thesocial and economic dynamic of rural England during this period was entirely different than today’s contemporary society. Here the family was at the core of setting andincluded maneuvering that led to marriage which was considered to be one of the mostimportant ordeals because matrimony supplied stability, along with social and economiccontinuity. One of the prominent features of this society was that women were notallowed to earn for themselves since the only way of earning was either by becoming agoverness or by writing like Austen did. For the women of the time, life was largelyrestricted to the home and the family. For the poor and the lower-class women, therewas ample work in the home and in the fields to keep them busy. But for the ladies ofthe landed upper-classes, life was one big round of dances, dinners, cards, and visits tofriends and relatives. They were not required to do any household work. "Ladies," thus,lived a life of ease and leisure, mainly concerned with society, children, and marriage.By the nineteenth century, the upper classes no longer arranged marriages. Instead, agirl was introduced to society (and eligible bachelors) at a reception hosted by a marriedwoman who had herself been presented.Women’s education
during this era wasrestricted to the daughters of a few families of the upper classes. In most cases, it wasthought to be a waste of time to educate girls. Rich and noble families engagedgovernesses for educating their daughters or sent them away to boarding school, butmost women were self-educated at home. As for their male counterparts, wealth
determined the social status and prestige of men. However a handsome earning wasn’tthe only determiner of a man’s cachet, owing large estate or property was
Also considered to be of equal importance
5.if you were director or screenplay writer what sort of difference would you make in the making of movie?
This movie is almost pe . rfect in each and every aspect and possess its own beauty. But if I was asked to make changes in the movie, I would portray women in a better manner and would give equal rights to women and give them the freedom to select their partners and not portray them as marriage materials. Also I would make the love story of Darcy and Elizabeth a bit less complicated
6.who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters?
Elizabeth: sai pallavi
Mr .Darcy: vidhut jambval
Mr.Bingley: Akshay Kumar
Mr .collins:
Wickham:Vidhya balan
7. write a note a scene you like the most
At the end of the novel, Elizabeth and Darcy get married and go to live at Pemberley, while Jane and Bingley move to an estate nearby. The other assorted family members gradually reconcile themselves to the relationship and in most cases, end up on friendly terms.
And the end my most favourite dailog in this movie
"I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me body, and soul and
I love.....I love.....I love you....I never wish to be parted from you from this day on..."
8 . Compare the narrative strategy of novel and movie
Pride & Prejudice was written by British author Jane Austen and published in 1813. The main character is Elizabeth Bennett and the story follows Elizabeth and her family as they deal with issues such as marriage, social class, and misunderstandings. The Bennett family consists of Elizabeth, her mother, her father, and her four unmarried sisters. The Bennett family is of the landed gentry, they have money but are not insanely rich. The novel is also a love story between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, although they initially dislike each other when they meet. They get off on the wrong foot, Elizabeth’s pride keeps her from seeing Mr. Darcy as anything except the negative first impression she initially had of him. While Mr. Darcy’s prejudice towards Elizabeth’s lower social class blinds him to her many good qualities. Other plotlines include Mr. Bingley (mr. Darcy’s good friend) wanting to marry Elizabeth’s older sister Jane, but encountering obstacles because of differences in social class and her younThe book has family, friendship, and an unconventional love story. This is probably Austen’s most famous novel and is considered to be a classic.
The 2005 movie starred Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennett and Matthew Macfadyen. The movie was filmed in England and was marketed towards a mainstream audience. Originally, the movie was going to be very true to the book. All the dialogue was kept the same and almost the entire movie was going to be from the perspective of Elizabeth (like the book). In the end, the dialogue in the film varied between being exactly the same as the book in some scenes, while most scenes had altered dialogue. This was done to help a modern audience better connect with the movie and the characters. The movie also features scenes from the perspective of Mr. Darcy, these are additional and not in the book. This was done to show Darcy as more human as well as to show the genuine closeness of his friendship with the character of Mr. Bingley. The movie was well-received by critics, with Keira Knightley being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress and was a success at the box office. Austen fans and British viewers of the film had divided opinions.
The movie has other differences than just the dialogue. In the movie, Elizabeth keeps secrets from her family and grows apart from her older sister Jane. This is different from the book, while Elizabeth does become frustrated with events related to her family, she never keeps secrets from them. She also confides in her sister after difficult events, they never grow apart. The movie also portrays Mr. Bennett as a warmer, more sympathetic father than he is in the book. His role in the family misfortunes, caused by him spending money on the wrong things, is downplayed. His relationship with his wife is much more loving in the movie. However, the movie also makes the Bennetts look poorer than they were in the book. Elizabeth also comes across as much more bold and impatient in the movie, she never yells at her parents in the book.
I’ve read the book twice, both times for classes in high school, and I like it. It’s not my favorite book in the world, but I did enjoy it and found it enjoyable to read. I saw the movie after I had read the book, and I liked the movie also. Weirdly enough, I just knew the movie would be different from the book. I was expecting it. I’ve just noticed that whenever classics are adapted to the big screen, they tend to be circumvented. There is less attention to detail, sideplots, and character development. I’m not quite sure why that is, I think it’s mostly for the sake of time and to make the movies more relatable to a modern audience.
