This Blog is a response to the task which is given by our professor yesha ma'am. In this blog I am going to share my thinking skills on post-viewing tasks for the movie adaptation of Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice".
This blog is a post -viewing task of movie pride and prejudice(2005).
Q-1 Which version of the novel is more appealing? Novel or film(adaptation)? Why?
Ans:
Film adaptation of the novel “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen is better than novels according to me. In contemporary situations after corona and online classes we all are used to visual version more than reading activity. So, when we watch a movie adaptation of this novel Pride and Prejudice we can better understand novel’s concept and also we better understand what are they want to convey through dialogues and in movie we can see their expression and in novels while reading you can imagine that but you can not say that you perfectly understand.
So that’s why I like the movie version more than the novel.
Q-2 character of Elizabeth bennet:
ANS:
Of all her heroines Jane Austen liked Elizabeth most. In the novel Pride and Prejudice our main character is elizabeth.
There are many characteristics of Elizabeth like women with pride. She is a very strong headed girl. She has her own point of view on anything. She is intelligent, independent as well as controlled. She has a choice of words when she speaks. She is very honest, she is very mature and also she seems to be more mature than her sister jane. She has some misunderstanding and also she has prejudice about Mr.Darcy.
Her physical charm:
Elizabeth is certainly not as beautiful as Jane is, still is graceful and charming there is something so elusive and indefinable about her charm that it defies all analysis perhaps it inheres in the beautiful expression of her dark eye which renders her face uncommonly intelligent. Darcy does not concede her any appreciable beauty when he first meets her: “she is tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt me.” but we hear the same darcy speaking in chapter 46, “it is many months since i have considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance.”
Her moral courage:
Elizabeth declines two marriage proposals both undesirable but both attractive in their own way; she is a young, unprovided girl. Her father’s estate is entailed on mr.collins. Her connections are very low and vulgar. It is not certain that any other attractive offers of marriage will be made to her ever in future. Her mother warns her that she will not be able to maintain her after her father’s death. And in her society, ageing maids were faced with the appalling prospect of a bleak future full of privation and humiliation. Mr.collins’s proposal at least promises the comforts and security of a home,if no love. Mr.Darcy’s proposal is still more attractive,for even she realises that to have been mistress of pemberley would be something. In These circumstances,it needed great moral and spiritual courage to reject these proposals. But Elizabeth did not want to marry where there was no love.
But it is not only these marriage proposals where she exhibits her strength of character.there are indeed a toughness of fibre and fine independendence of mind which assert themselves whenever she is challenged or she is up against an act of absurdity or folly. She draws herself up most spiritedly in all the scenes in which she is matched against darcy.
Her charm will never stale:
Elizabeth is a lovable heroine indeed of all Jane Austen's heroines, she impresses and delights us most what Shakespeare said of Cleopatra may safely be applied to her: time can not wither her nor custom stale her charm.
Q-3 character of Fitzwilliam Darcy:
ANS:
There are many characteristics in our hero.The hero of the novel,man with pride,reserved,introvert, observer, silent lover, true lover,superiority complex,his pride corrected by love.
The hero of the novel:
Fizwilliam Darcy the owner of the pemberley estate worth ten thousand pounds a year is the hero of the novel. He is twenty seven, tall, handsome, and of a stately appearance like elizabeth. He is one of the intricate characters of the two “he was at the same time haughty, reserved and fastidious and his manners, though well-bred, were not inviting. He looks so stern and inflexible, austere and exclusive that everybody including his own sister Georgiana holds him in awe.
His pride:
Darcy’s pride is in evidence right from the moment he makes his appearance.he declines being introduced to any other lady except the two in his own party and keeps quiet most of the evening. He is immediately declared to be ‘the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world’. He himself thinks he is reserved for he tries to justify his conduct on this particular evening
“ I am ill-qualified to recommend myself to strangers..I certainly do not have the talent which some people possess of conversing easily with those whom i have never seen before..”
Q-4 give illustration of the society of that time:
ANS:
Jane Austan write novels in 18th century there are many things what included in her novels like some of her novels character are educated and some of them are not, we can see in pride and prejudice there is elizabeth bennet she is very fond of reading a books and than there is her sister jane she don’t like to read.. And at that time women have to learn how to play piano and also they have to know how to knit.
Marriage, of course, was just about the only acceptable role for any woman. Women, like Austen herself, who passed beyond their youth without marrying became spinsters. They had no formal role in society and were occasionally a burden to their families. Even worse was the fate of educated young women of good standing whose fortunes were thrown in jeopardy by the sudden loss of their family. With no fortune, these women were nearly unmarriageable and might be required to enter the servant class as a governess of wealthy children in order to provide a living for themselves.
Q-5 If you were a director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of a movie?
ANS:
This movie is a great creation of art. I don’t want to change anything in this movie but if i was directector of this movie i would like to change about mrs.bennet,she is very childish and immature and she force her daughter’s to get married into rich family.she is mother of five daughter so..she have to understand her daughter’s life and her daughter’s choice. I want to put one extra scene in the movie, it was the marriage of Jane and Bingle and also i put one death scene of aunty of mr.darcy.
Q-6 who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters?
ANS:
Elizabeth -emma weston
Mr.Darcy-daniel radcliffe
Mr.bingley- robert downey jr
Jane- rashmika mandanna.
Mr. collins- ranber kapoor
Wickham-vicky kaushal
Q-7 write a note on a scene you liked the most:
ANS:
I like the whole movie . I immediately fell in love with the characters and the novel's story. When this movie starts it starts very slowly but in the middle of the movie when Mr.darcy confesses his love to miss.elizabeth But elizabeth refuses to get married to Mr.darcy because she did not like him.

Q-8 compare the narrative strategy of novel and movie:
ANS:
Narrative style in novel and movie that both are different. There is a very nicely described story in the novel and in the movie there are time limits so in two hours they can not complete that whole novel.
