Full Version: Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice

My favourite classic romantic story..
alhtough there are many visions of this story, i much prefer the 1995 BBC's one...6 Episodes:Re-live the romance and drama of Andrew Davies' lavish adaptation, starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/20/banner_03_630x100.jpg[/img]

Lizzie Bennet

Lizzie is the second of the five Bennet sisters.

She's bright, witty and very strong-minded.

She's a free-spirit but, unlike her sister Lydia, she has a strong sense of what's right and wrong in the eyes of society, and would not do anything to bring shame on her family.

Mr Darcy

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/19/darcy_396_396x222.jpg[/img]
Darcy first enters the Bennets' world while staying at his friend Mr Bingley's new house, Netherfield.

He's incredibly wealthy, and very conscious of his status in life. Some might go as far as to call him arrogant.

He knows the Bennet family are far below him socially, and believes a match with any of the girls would be disastrous, whether for himself, or for his friend Bingley.

Mrs Bennet

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/19/mrs_bennet_396_396x222.jpg[/img]
Mrs Bennet is Lizzie's mother.

She has five daughters in all and is determined to ensure they marry well.

She's loud and opinionated, and completely oblivious to the embarrassment she causes the rest of her family.

Mr Bingley

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/19/mr_bingley396_396x222.jpg[/img]
Mr Bingley is that wonderful combination of both nice, handsome and rich.

When he moves into Netherfield there isn't a mother in the area who wouldn't kill to get him as a son-in-law.

He's modestly unaware of the effect he has on the society around him. Especially when he falls in love at first sight with Jane Bennet.

Jane Bennet

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/19/jane_bennet_396_396x222.jpg[/img]
Jane is the eldest of the Bennet girls.

She's kind and sweet-natured and no-one has a bad word to say about her.

She's also beautiful, but modest, and she certainly wouldn't dream of flaunting her womanly charms.

Lydia Bennet

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/04/23/lydia_396_396x222.jpg[/img]
The youngest of all the Bennet girls, Lydia is still a teenager, and turning into a terrible flirt.

All that interests her are parties and boys.

Her older sisters are afraid that one day her impulsive nature is going to get her into trouble, but her mother can't see any problem with Lydia's flighty behaviour, and only encourages her.

Mr Wickham

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/19/wickham_396_396x222.jpg[/img]
Charming and good-looking, Mr Wickham wins the hearts of all the ladies.

He was a childhood friend of Mr Darcy, but there's a dark secret in his past and the two no longer speak.

Miss Bingley

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/04/23/miss_bingley_main_396x222.jpg[/img]
Miss Bingley is about as proud and snobbish as they come.

There's nothing she enjoys more than laughing at people less fashionable than herself - such as the Bennets.

She's also got a massive crush on Mr Darcy, but unfortunately for Miss Bingley, he shows absolutely no interest in her.

Mr Bennet

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/19/mr_bennet_396_396x222.jpg[/img]
Mr Bennet is a loving father and particularly close to his daughter, Lizzie.

He's like her in many ways, with a keen sense of humour.

But he has a tendency to hide in his study and let Mrs Bennet get on with blundering through life embarrassing his daughters.

Mr Collins

[img]http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/03/19/mr_collins_396_396x222.jpg[/img]
Mr Collins stands to inherit the estate at Longbourne when Mr Bennet dies.

He's a cousin of the family and hopes to marry one of the Bennet girls.Unfortunately he's slimy and creepy and none of the Bennet girls want to have anything to do with him.

He absolutely worships anyone of higher status than himself, particularly Lady Catherine de Bough, and drives everyone around him mad with his hero-worship.

I haven't see it before. Who can tell me where to download it?

I have been fallen in love with the book and movie of Pride and Prejudice for many years!
I like the movie which was made in 2005 best ^-^:)
