Pride and Prejudice

During the first days of September we start analyzing 'Pride and Prejudice', a novel of a British author called Jane Austen. In classes we focus in the movie version of 2005, based in Elizabeth Bennet ideology or way of thinking (feminist). We can say that Jane Austen is a pioneer in what means women emancipation, because the book was written in 1813, years after that women started being considered as same as men. Now I will answer some question to understand better the story.

1. Why do you think "Pride and Prejudice" continues to be a referent for modern tales?
Because the 'Pride' and 'Prejudice' are always present in our society during the human history (inherent to humans).

2. What do you think is the effect that these different authors (film directors, producers, modern writers) want to achieve in today's audiences?
Because as I said before, it present themes that are always present in our society, and film directors, producers, etc try to show us how to live with those 2 elements that are always with us.

3. If you had to choose one of the previous versions to analyse, which would be the one and why?
I think that the movie of 2005, because I think it focus more in terms of the topics of the text and the setting its more similar to the setting in which it was written. Also the version of Bridget Jone's Diary because it seems quite funny and the themes can be represented in a very interesting way.
