A Surprise Pride and Prejudice Engagement
(Note: This isn’t me)
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Currently dreaming of Mr.Darcy
What a happy day for Mr. Collins.
Me at almost midnight watching the pride and prejudice (2005) movie for the millionth time when I had an epiphany.
This scene:
"So what would you recommend, to encourage affection?"
"Dancing. "
Later on followed by this scene:
"May I have the next dance Miss Elizabeth?"
"You may. "
HE WAS ENCOURAGING AFFECTION
BONUS:
En vano he luchado. No quiero hacerlo más. Mis sentimientos no pueden contenerse. Permítame usted que le manifieste cuan ardientemente la admiro y la amo.
Orgullo y Prejuicio
Two of my favorite things being paralleled in quotes? What a treat!!
“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”
Lucien watched the ever-young forest. “Isn’t that what all human women wish for? A handsome faerie lord to wed and shower them with riches for the rest of their lives?”
"From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry."
Her mouth tightened, the only sign of anger in her graceful countenance. “I don’t want a mate. I don’t want a male.”
I dare say you will find him amiable.
“He is a good male,” I repeated.
"It would be most inconvenient since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity"
She just ignored him or barely spoke to him until he got the hint and left
He's been a fool about so many things, about Jane, and others... but then, so have I. You see, he and I are so similar.
How Lucien withstood it, I didn’t know. Not that he’d shown any interest in bridging that gap between them.
but I said, “You couldn’t say a single word to him? A pleasant greeting?” Elain only stared at the steaming kettle as she set it on the stone counter.
"You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April...."
Elain only shrank further into herself,
tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.
Cassian’s heart strained at the pain etching deep into Lucien’s face as he tried to hide his disappointment and longing.
But she doesn't like him. I thought she didn't like him.
"She has no interest in him anyway"
"So did I, so did we all. We must have been wrong."
SJM loves P&P which in it's simplist form is two characters who develop misconceptions about the other upon their initial meeting. Who can't help but being drawn together throughout the book but refuse to admit it due to their own stubbornness. As a result they either act indifferent and push the other away (Elizabeth) or suffer in silence with longing (Darcy).
It's weird that people know of her love for this movie / book and how everyone in it believed Elizabeth greatly disliked Darcy (up until the end) yet they still act like Elain's indifference towards Lucien is a bad thing.
Don’t forget Harper Lee and SE Hinton. A fair amount of the literary classics we’re taught in school were written by women LONG before JK Rowling could even hold a pen.
Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s
And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights
Thank God someone paved the way for them…
You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you. You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright
WHO MADE THIS SHIT?!! WHO?!!!!!!!!
I mean,not that I mind tho.I was thinking Pride and Prejudice are similar to Kaiyami
Yugioh/Pride and Prejudice Crossover What I think of when I see Prideshipping… Mr. Kaiba: …And when can I call you, Mrs. Kaiba? Yami Bennet: Only when you are at your most happiest. [Seto draws a card from his deck…It’s the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. He stares back at Yami…]
Mr. Kaiba: Mrs. Kaiba…
So it turns out putting wood varnish on cheap plastic frames actually works amazingly
Who knew 🤷♀️

“you have bewitched me body and soul. and i love, i love, i love you. i never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”
for my honest reaction and rating, check out my goodreads.
I love old doordarshan series, they are short, meaningful and definitely worth watching. Here are my top 3 favourites, in case you wanna binge watch them too🩷
1) Trishna
It's the Hindi adaptation of the classic book 'Pride & Prejudice'. The characters are portrayed accurately and it's a 13 episode series.
2) Kashish
This series highlights the slow burn romance portraying an aspiring actress as female lead and a successful director as male lead. The characters are written very well, I actually watched this before Trishna.
3) Chanakya
This series is directed by a renowned director Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi. This used to come in the evenings before Mahabharat during lockdown and dare I say, it was my favourite and still is. I suppose, it's the most accurate representation of Chanakya and the politics during the Nanda and Mauryan era. It's longer compared to the first two, but it'll certainly leave you with lots of useful insights and knowledge.
Do tell me your opinions if you've watched them or have other recommendations 🩷

"The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it."
– Pride And Prejudice
Why is it always 'ILY' and never 'You have bewitched me; body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.'
Oh, hey! Long time no see!😅
