Pride and Prejudice

I have seen this movie for many times. I still remember the first time to watch the movie because of the writing homework, and I focused on the relationship between Mr. Darcy and Lizzie. How two people who were not in their eyes would love each other?

Mrs. Bennet, a mother who has five daughters, tried to find rich men for her daughters with many ways. In the times, if you want to live a better life, the only way you can do is marrying a rich man. However, the class between the rich and the poor is clear to see. In the ball, you can tell the rich and the poor by their clothes and their daily action. The bias between them is also clear to realize, and now, we still have the bias on others. For example, classify students by their grades. Those who are in the good university, and they are good students. On the other hand, students who are in a bad university, and they are bad students. In fact, it’s not a good way to judge a student’s goodness and badness by their grades. Never judging a book by its cover is always correct.

In Pride and Prejudice, the author, Jane Austen, described the peoples’ characteristic very clearly. The title, Pride and Prejudice, also talks the whole story line. A man who is pride and a woman who has the prejudice on the pride man don’t like each other at the first glance in the ball. Day after day, when Lizzie knows what Mr. Darcy has done for her family, she realizes that he is not pride at all. Besides, the reason for Mr. Darcy doing this is that he thinks Lizzie is not a girl who is not as greed as her mother. He thinks she is different, and the truth is it, she is not like her mother. At the first, no one would think they would fall in love with each other, but they are together at the end of the story. When I watch the movie, I would think they are so stupid because they would never know that the right person is just by your side. How can’t you take the chance and tell him or her “I love you”, something like this.


There are many reasons for me to love this movie. The other factor is that the times, the regency times. From the ball, you can understand what the English country dance is. Their dance may be a little bit funny but not ridiculous at all. It can be also grace. Their clothes are also a thing that can be studied. The waist line of the clothes in the times is below the chest. Look at the waist line of the clothes in our times, and you can know that it’s at our waist. It had different sense of where the waist live is.


I really like this movie. Each time, I watch the movie, and I would have different thoughts from the conversations and their love relationships. It definitely gives me different thoughts each time. I think I would watch the movie for many times after the class. I also strongly recommend that everyone should watch the movie not only for the love relationship (it may be the main reason for me to watch this movie) but also for the other factors, such as peoples’ characteristics, dances, music’s, and how to marry a rich man.
