Pride and Prejudice is primarily a romance. Written by Jane Austen between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The best-known novels of Jane Austen has all the elements of a good (excellent show) romantic comedy. Whether it is about feelings and relationships (see disdain hatred turns into love, mistaken identities, friendships, secrets) or even on the sets (English country town, numerous castles, small and great nobility, balls). But beyond all these classic elements if they become cliches, which makes this novel a reference is the richness of the characters, the lightness and spontaneity of style. "Pride and Prejudice" is these books have found the perfect blend of description and action and prompt you to turn the next page, regardless of time or how tired. The narrative style allows you to dive into the thoughts of each character, primarily those of the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, but at a lower dose of the other characters. The reader gains a vivid scene in which each protagonist, not just the two heroes, played his role perfectly.
For those electronic format and the original English version does not disgust, here's a link to find it in electronic format.
I will discuss any of the frames of the book, preferring to leave you the pleasure of discovering this masterpiece, but nevertheless mention the portion me most: the letter from Darcy to Elizabeth. This letter is a gem, which in itself alone justifies reading the book.
Pride and prejudice has been repeatedly adapted for television (TV movies and series) and film. I have only seen the 2005 film, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen in the Fitzwilliam Darcy.
course, a film can never recreate what is in a novel. What the paper left the interpretation and imagination is often frozen on film. Of course, it is not possible to reduce the novel to a film in less than two hours away and some characters are amputees, faded or even exaggerated.
However, I can only praise the work of director and director-en-scene. They kept the essence of the book. The rare and necessary changes do not affect the overall story. The main actors play their roles to perfection. And to put everything together in perfect harmony, music by Dario Marianelli (inspired in part by Purcell) has support very well Romanticism. As I was told someone recently, this film has it all.
So if you have not already done so, run on amazon to order the book, film, CD ...
