Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Ch. 33/34: After running into Darcy repeatedly during walks at Rosings, Lizzy finally runs into Col. Fitzwilliam instead. He brags about Darcy having saved a friend (Bingley) from a marriage to some trash lady (Jane), and Elizabeth is rightfully incensed. Then Darcy barges in with one of the worst proposals ever written. Every time I read it, I marvel that he ever redeems himself because this proposal is St-John-from-Jane-Eyre levels of offensive.

Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen | Jane Austen

Caught the last half of the Greer Garson P&P (at a weird angle from across the room), which I had never seen before. Was utterly distracted by the women's dresses. They were HUGE & not remotely appropriate to the time period. From what I saw of it, it seems more "based on the book" rather than a faithful representation- & Austen's claws had been sheathed- but it made me curious to watch again & try to catch the whole thing. #JaneAustenThenAndNow

rubyslippersreads I think MGM saved money by reusing costumes from other movies. 😁 ❤️ Edna May Oliver as Lady Catherine. 6d

Leftcoastzen That‘s the thing I dislike about some of the older films , it‘s like they thought an old dress is an old dress , not really researched to the appropriate era . 6d

Ruthiella There‘s an archery scene in this, right? Taken from Emma… so a very loose adaptation. 6d

BarbaraJean At first glance, I thought this must be Gone with the Wind 😆 6d

bookandbedandtea @rubyslippersreads That's the feeling I had; that they were reusing costumes. Because, not only were the dresses wrong for the period, they didn't necessarily go with each other in the same scene, if that makes sense. They were different styles even from each other. As @Leftcoastzen mentioned, not just any old dress will do. 😆 5d

bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella I did not see an archery scene, I only saw (probably less than) the last half. I'll have to make a point of watching it for real sometime. 5d

bookandbedandtea @BarbaraJean Yes, it had a very Gone With The Wind vibe! 🫣 5d

#Pemberlittens we have SPAM in the
#JaneAustenThenAndNow tag. Apparently this person is so knowledgeable but thinks I wrote Pride and Prejudice. 🙄

Fun Fact: You can block users on Litsy. I've never had to do that.

Hotness = truthfulness, obvs (Although Darcy is also said to be hot so how does one decide which hot man to trust?? 🤔)

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Ch.27/28: Lizzy is in her traveling era, with a trip to Hunsford and an invitation from her aunt to visit Derbyshire and the Lakes once summer hits. At the Parsonage, Elizabeth can see how Charlotte manages to make the best of her less-than-perfect situation, e.g. encouraging Collins to be in the garden at all times and selecting a room at the back of the house (out of his way!) to be her personal parlor. Charlotte Collins, making it work!

Such beautiful, elegant writing.
Such a sad and heartbreaking tale.

Poor Gatsby, I feel he deserved better.
