PRICE & PREJUDICE


This term, we have read in class an adapted version of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and then we saw the movie.
Pride and Prejudice is about the Bennet family and its protagonist is one of the daughters, Elizabeth Bennet.
It all starts when a new neighbor arrived to neighborhood, who is very rich. The neighbors were Mr. Bingley and his two sisters and Mr. Darcy.
Mr. Bingley held a party where he met Elizabeth's sister, Jane Bennet and they falled in love , but Jane is rather shy and she doesn't show her feelings to other people. But Mr. Bingley had to go to London.
Meantime, in the Bennet home arrived Mr. Bennet's cousin, William Collins, who asked to marry Elizabeth, but she rejected him. William Collins was just marrying Elizabeth's best friend, Charlotte Lucas.
At the same time, soldiers came to town and the Bennet sisters meet George Wickham, which insinuated to Elizabeth Bennet, but eventually he ran away the city with Elizabeth's sister, Lydia Bennet. Finally, they end up marrying.
Elizabeth Bennet falled for Mr.Darcy, which has been told that because of him, the Mr.Bingley left the city, as Mr.Darcy told him that Jane Bennet wasn't in love with him. Wickham tells Elizabeth that Mr.Darcy's father considered him a son and that the day he died, Mr.Darcy didn't leave any inheritance, for jealousy.
Elizabeth told what she knew to Mr.Darcy and he told the truth: it's true that he told to Mr.Bingley that Jane Bennet wasn't in love with him why she didn't show any affection in his presence and after Wickham was like his brother, and his father left him a share of the inheritance to him, but he finished it and asked to Mr.Marcy for more money and Mr.Darcy not accept the petition of Wickham and he ran away with Mr.Darcy sister, Georgiana, and then he left her.
Later, Elizabeth knows that Mr.Darcy paid Lydia's wedding and he paid to Wickham a good sum of money.
In the end, Jane Bennet and Mr. Bingley married and Elizabeth Bennet and Mr.Darcy left their pride and prejudices aside and as they are in love with each other, they also married.


I like this book, but the film is so loving. I love it!
