pride and prejudice


Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was published on this date 200 years ago.

I love this book, especially how well written the minor characters are.  Keira Knightley will forever be marked as Elizabeth and Donald Sutherland, her father in my minds eye.  That said, I have despised EVERY Darcy who has taken on the role.  Elizabeth, was at her most sensible to not to have been taken in by that fool. 

Just sayin'

    I do love the Keira Knightley version. I thought she did a wonderful job, and the Chatsworth House was breath-taking as Pemberley.

    Dude you are totally out voted! You must not have seen the Colin Firth version of Darcy.

    What I don't like is Darcy. I'll accept Mr. Firth may be the greatest human to ever wear the mantle of Darcy. I just think Darcy's a jerk, and Lizzie could have done better.

    Slightly off-subject for a bit.

    Are you a movie buff, Toad? I wondered if you've ever seen "King of the Hill" starring Jesse Bradford. Part memoir of A.E. Hotchner. It haunts me still.
