 PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

1). Write all the characters you identify

Elizabeth Bennet: The novel’s protagonist. The second daughter of Mr. Bennet, and the
most intelligent and sensible of the five Bennet sisters. Elizabeth Bennet is lively, quick-
witted, sharp-tongued, bold and intelligent. She is keen and perceptive, but she is proud,
and her pride leads to great confusion, but she ends up falling deeply in love with Mr.
Darcy.

Mr. Darcy: An extremely wealthy aristocrat, Mr. Darcy is proud and he shows haughty
and extremely conscious of class differences in the first chapters. He does, however, have a
strong sense of honor and virtue and a degree of fairness that helps him to control his pride,
but he ends up falling deeply in love with Miss Elizabeth.

Jane Bennet: She is the oldest Bennet daughter, is beautiful, good-tempered, amiable,
humble, and selfless. Her good nature does result in a level of naiveté. Her sweetness leaves
her vulnerable to injury from insincere friends like Caroline Bingley. A rather static
character, and she is model of virtue throughout the novel.

Mr. Bingley: Like his beloved Jane, Charles Bingley is a kind and good-natured person,
mostly indifferent to class differences despite his extraordinary wealth. A mostly static
character, Bingley is still nice and in love with Jane throughout the novel.

Mr. Wickham: A regiment officer stationed in Meryton, Officer Wickham has a dissolute
and unreliable personality. He was godson of Darcy's father. However, Wickham betrayed
Darcy by seducing Georgiana when he was only 15 years old. In general, Wickham is
driven by self-interest, and he marries Lydia just because Darcy provides a financial
incentive.

Mrs. Bennet: Mrs. Bennet is a silly and frivolous woman. She refuses to provide her
daughters with an adequate education. Instead, she remains concerned only with securing
profitable marriages.

Mr. Bennet: An intelligent man with good sense, Mr. Bennet displays an unfortunate
disinterest in most of his family. He seems weary after spending many decades married to
the interminable Mrs. Bennet.

Lydia Bennet: The youngest of the Bennet sisters, Lydia Bennet is flirtatious. She is Mrs.
Bennet's favorite daughter because they share similar interests. She is obsessed with the
officers and gets to marry Wickham.
Kitty Bennet: Catherine "Kitty" Bennet, the second youngest Bennet daughter, exhibits
little personality of her own. Instead, she imitates Lydia in almost everything until Lydia
leaves for Brighton.

Mary Bennet: She is strangely solemn and pedantic. She dislikes going out into society
and prefers to spend her time studying. Mary constantly makes awkward and profound
observations about human nature and life in general.

Mr. Collins: He is a distant cousin of the Bennet family to whom Longbourn has been
entailed. He is mostly a comic character, mix of obsequiousness and pride. Even after he
marries Charlotte Lucas, Mr. Collins remains largely unchanged.

Charlotte Lucas: She is Elizabeth's best friend, the Bennets's neighbor, and Sir William's
daughter. She eventually marries Mr. Collins after Elizabeth rejects his proposal.

Maria Lucas: Charlotte's younger sister, Maria, is as empty-headed as her father. She is
never featured in the novel outside of her presence on the trip to visit Charlotte with Sir
William and Elizabeth.

Caroline Bingley: Caroline Bingley is Bingley's youngest sister. She is a superficial and
selfish girl, possessing all of Darcy's class prejudice. Her cruelty towards Jane and
Elizabeth marks her as a generally unpleasant character.

Lady Catherine: She is Darcy's aristocratic aunt and Mr. Collins's patroness, is a sharp-
tongued woman obsessed with flaunting her wealth and social superiority.

Miss de Bourgh: Lady Catherine's daughter, Miss de Bourgh, is a frail, weak and sickly
woman who is overly pampered by her mother.

Georgiana Darcy : Darcy’s sister, she is immensely pretty and just as shy. She has great
skill at playing the pianoforte.

3). Describe romantic characteristics in the film

It was the novel “Pride and Prejudice”. The novel was based on the idea of marriage
and how it was affected by the society.
She believed that marriage should not be affected by the way people think or family
issues and wealth and that it should be based more on ones need and feelings. She
tried to convince readers that one should be married for the sake of love.
Differing from the classical age the romantic age has given artists of that period
more freedom and creation. Music for instance was of great value in terms of the
way it expresses.
The composers experimented length of compositions, new harmonies, and tonal
relationships.
We can watch also that the romantic aged has marked a great power of more artistic
energy and creativity in those years.
Also, in this film is show the important of the love by nature in which the
romantics valued the beauty of nature and things as presented in the life.
The romantic age writers trusted their emotions in composing and writing unlike the
classical ages. Romanticism created trust in human emotions and feelings and has
reflected in the creativity of art.
Romanticism also showed the belief in artists as the creators of the art.
Romanticism gave artists of its age the ability to express their inner feelings and
emotions in their work, where we can see the melancoly, loneliness, despair,
lamentys and hope.

4). Why this film is a romantic one (Remember that the romanticism is not about love)

Despite its name, Romantic, the Romantic age had only a few things that was related to the
real meaning of romance known now.

but in this film you can see how the romantic era is represented, in the various scenes and
diverse scenarios characteristic of romanticism, such as music, the landscape, its color, its
style of life, its real and special form, where harmony and harmony are felt. tranquility of
nature

The beauty of life is also valued in the face of difficult situations because here romanticism
gave artists of their time the ability to express their feelings and internal emotions in their
work, where we can see melancholy, loneliness, despair, regret and the hope.

But this film leaves us great advice, since it was based on the idea of marriage and how it
was affected by society.
She believed that marriage should not be affected by the way people think or family
problems and wealth, and that it should be based more on one's needs and feelings, without
impoverishing family reputation, pride, identity and the wealth, and shows how love can
break the limit of class differences and pride.

5). Discuss the importance of the two main characters

The protagonists are Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy.

She is an extraordinary character. Her main fault in the novel is that she considers herself a
good judge of character, which makes Fitzwilliam Darcy wrong. In addition, she defies
some of the social expectations of women in the Regency of England, since she decided to
marry only for love and not to consider marriage for convenience. Its development is a
hallmark of the novel. Through Darcy, she realizes the extent of her own prejudices and can
finally achieve happiness by marrying him.

while Fitzwilliam Darcy is presented as a high class character, but that is the pride of his
prejudice. Due to a combination of his wealth and cold behavior, many people perceive
Darcy as a snob. But nevertheless. However, like Elizabeth, he realizes the error of his
proud ways and can show Elizabeth her true nature through the selfless act of saving her.
Both characters are connected to the world of romanticism, where sadness, melancholy,
pain, hope and love stand out.
