Pride and Prejudice

Have you read or watch the movie 'Pride and Prejudice'? I can tell you its a wonderful love story, beats the shit outta 'Romeo and Juliet' if you ask me. The movie is so great that i cried non-stop when i watched it. Seemingly of the fact that it resembles my life. I mean the moral. Not the settings.

The movie was acted by the beautiful Keira Knightly. Good actress.

This is what the story is about:

Mrs Bennet is greatly excited by news of the arrival of a single man "of considerable fortune" in the neighbourhood. Mr Bingley has leased the Netherfield estate where he plans to temporarily settle with his two sisters, Miss Bingley and Mrs Hurst, and his sister's husband, Mr. Hurst. Soon afterwards, Bingley and his party, which now includes his close friend Fitzwilliam Darcy, attend a public ball in the village of Meryton. At first, Darcy is admired for his fine figure and income of £10,000 a year. Quickly, however, the neighbours come to view him as proud, one who believes those present to be beneath him socially. This is brought home to the Bennet family when Elizabeth Bennet overhears Darcy decline Bingley's suggestion that he dance with her. Bingley, on the other hand, proves highly agreeable, dancing with many of the eligible ladies in attendance and showing his decided admiration for Jane Bennet. Eager to encourage this highly advantageous match, Mrs Bennet attempts to push Jane and Bingley together at every opportunity.

Shortly after the ball, Mr Collins, a cousin who will inherit the Bennet estate because of an entail, visits the family. Collins, a pompous buffoon of a clergyman whose idea of a pleasant evening is reading to his female cousins from Fordyce's Sermons, delights in dropping the name of his great patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, with great frequency. Following Lady Catherine's imperious suggestion that he marry, Collins has decided to make amends for his role in his cousins' future impoverishment by marrying one of them. Mr Collins proposes to Elizabeth but she refuses him pointblank. Although Mrs Bennet tries to promote the marriage, Mr Bennet supports his favourite daughter's repeated refusals. Meanwhile, Elizabeth begins falling for a recently arrived military officer, Mr Wickham, who claims to have been robbed of his rightful inheritance by none other than Mr Darcy, strengthening her disapprobation of the latter.

After Elizabeth rejects Mr Collins, he hurriedly marries her best friend, Charlotte Lucas, and Elizabeth is invited to visit the newlyweds. While she is staying with them, Darcy visits his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, at the adjoining estate, Rosings. Elizabeth and Darcy are therefore thrown daily into each other's company. Elizabeth's charms eventually entrance Mr Darcy, leading him to finally declare his love for her "against his own will" and his desire to marry her in spite of her objectionable family. Surprised and insulted by Darcy's high-handed method of proposing, as well as having recently learnt that Darcy convinced Bingley to sever ties with Jane and still contemptuous of Darcy's supposed wrongs against Wickham, Elizabeth refuses him in no uncertain terms, saying that he is "the last man in the world whom [she] could ever be prevailed on to marry." The next day, Darcy intercepts Elizabeth on her morning walk and hands her a letter before coldly taking his leave. In the letter, Darcy justifies his actions regarding his interference in Bingley and Jane's relationship, and reveals his history concerning Mr Wickham and Wickham's true nature. The letter sheds a new light on Darcy's personality for Elizabeth and she begins to reconsider her opinion of him, particularly in the case of Wickham.

Later, while on holiday with her aunt and uncle, the Gardiners, Elizabeth is persuaded to visit nearby Pemberley, Darcy's estate, while he is away. She is therefore mortified when she bumps into him unexpectedly while on a tour of the grounds. However, his altered behaviour towards her - distinctly warmer from their last meeting - and his polite and friendly manner towards her aunt and uncle begins to persuade Elizabeth that underneath his pride lies a true and generous nature. Her revised opinion of Darcy is supported through meeting his younger sister Georgiana, a gentle-natured and shy girl whom Darcy lovingly dotes upon.

Just as her relationship with Darcy starts to thaw, Elizabeth is horrified by news that, in her absence, her headstrong younger sister Lydia has attracted Wickham's attentions and eloped with him. When the family investigates, they learn that Wickham resigned his commission to evade gambling debts. When told of this by Elizabeth, Darcy takes it upon himself to find Wickham and bribe him into marrying Lydia, but keeps this secret from Elizabeth and her family. Elizabeth accidentally learns of Darcy's involvement from Lydia's careless remarks, later confirmed by Mrs Gardiner. This final act completes a reversal in Elizabeth's sentiments, and she begins to regret having turned down Darcy's earlier proposal of marriage.

Lady Catherine discovers Darcy's feelings for Elizabeth, threatening her long cherished ambition for him to marry her own daughter. She pays Elizabeth an unannounced visit and brusquely tries to bully her into giving him up, a fruitless undertaking. Ironically, however, this event seals Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship, as when Lady Catherine complains to Darcy about Elizabeth's obstinacy, he realizes her feelings have changed, giving him hope to try again. When Darcy proposes a second time to Elizabeth, she happily accepts.

Why do i love this movie so much? Let me tell you why, but i doubt you're gonna notice unless you're dead interested in me. Mwahahaha. Okay, my pride gets in my way when i want to live my live, do the things i want, ask the guy i like for his number, name, date him. I still believe guys have to make the first move. If i go ahead first, my pride will murder me. So this is where my pride leads to my downfall. I wont do something detestful that will affect my pride. My pride is my joy. And my deepest fear and enemy. Prejudice. The word just give me the shudders. I have my prejudices against the guys i like, against those who likes me. What if they are just the kinds who will break my heart into a million pieces? What if they are not the right one for me? Are they good enough for me, or am i good enough for them? Can i make them happy? Will i be happy with them? All these questions kept playing in my mind. Say now, i kinda 'like' this guy from my college, but hell no would i ask him anything. Gee, im really gonna end up being a spinster then. *sigh*

Anyways, to those who havent watch the movie, try to do so. I hope you enjoy it.

In Berberboo's mind : I hope i can get through this. And wtf am i doing now? Im supposed to be studying, not talking about a guy. =(
