Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"



1. Why do you think "Pride and Prejudice" continues to be a referent for modern tales?
Although Pride and Prejudice is a story from the early 19th Century, it's topic and themes are still present in our society, therefore it still catches the attention of readers.

 2. What do you think is the effect that these different authors (film directors, producers, modern writers) want to achieve in today's audiences?
I think they are trying to connect those differences between the old day's marriage and today's marriage. 200 years ago the woman was influenced by her family and almost forced to marry a hopefully rich man.  It somehow mixes both different times to a new romance story.

 3. If you had to choose one of the previous versions to analyse, which would be the one and why?
I would choose the original version because it is closer to the classic way. It is more original in the sense of a 19th century romance story. We would have many things to analyse.
