Blog 003 *Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice set in England in the early 19th century, it tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighborhood.

I. Characters

Elizabeth Bennet – she is the second daughter of Bennet’s family. She is twenty years old and is intelligent, lively and attractive. At the later part, Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, leading her to surrender to her love to Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy - is the male partner of Elizabeth in the movie and is twenty eight years old. He is also tall and intelligent. Darcy is the wealthy owner of the renowned family estate of Pemberley in Derbyshire. At the end, Darcy and Elizabeth overcome their differences and first impressions to fall in love with each other.

Mrs Bennet - is the wife of her social superior Mr Bennet and mother of Elizabeth and her sisters. She is frivolous, excitable, and narrow-minded. Her public manners and social climbing are embarrassing to Jane and Elizabeth.

Mr Bennet - is the head of the Bennet family, a gentleman of modest income with five unmarried daughters. Mr Bennet has an ironic, cynical sense of humour that irritates his wife. However, he loved his daughters very much.

Jane Bennet - is the eldest Bennet sister. Twenty-two years old when the story begins, she is considered the most beautiful young lady in the neighbourhood. Jane’s character is opposite to Elizabeth wherein she is sweeter, shyer, and equally sensible, but not as clever.

Mary Bennet – the one that is not really pretty among four siblings. She reads and practices music.

Catherine Bennet – she is the fourth Bennet sister. She is the shadow of Lydia and follows in her pursuit of the officers of the regiment.

Lydia Bennet - is the youngest Bennet sister, aged 15 when the novel begins. She is frivolous and headstrong.

Charles Bingley – is a handsome, good-natured, and wealthy young gentleman at the age of 23. He moved to Netherfield Park near Longbourn. He fell in love with Jane and his two sisters were not in favour in the growing affection of the two.

George Wickham – he is acquainted with Mr Darcy since childhood, being the son of Mr. Darcy's father's steward.

 Lady Catherine – she is very rich. Lady Catherine is very arrogant, bossy and superior to his people and even the way he treated Elizabeth in the movie.

II. Exposition

The exposition of the movie would be the getting to know each other with the primary characters, Darcy and Elizabeth. Basically I'd say up to the point of where she goes to see Mr & Mrs Colins. The time of the party with Mr. Darcy, this was also part where in that scene it now leads to the rising action.

III. Rising Action

I think the rising action of the movie started with Mr. Darcy proposed to Elizabeth Bennet. When the feelings of the two come out to show up that they had feelings for each other.

IV. Climax

The time they overcome the pride and prejudice. Darcy realized that Elizabeth was right in all things she told him. In the other side, Elizabeth discovered in the later part that she is wrong with her judgment with Mr. Darcy; she knew Darcy more, the time he also fell in love with him.

V.  Falling Action

Mr. Darcy asked Mr. Bennet about their marriage with Elizabeth.

VI. Resolution

I think it would be the wedding since Mr. Bennet allow Elizabeth to marry Darcy.
