Pride and Prejudice, Dir. Joe Wright
Perf. Keira Knightly, Matthew
Macfayden. Focus Features Film 2005
Pride and Prejudice is a film set back in 1800 England and focuses mainly around two characters, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth comes from a lower class than Mr. Darcy. She still live with her parents and 4 sisters. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are pretty smitten with one another right off the bat, but neither will admit to it. Elizabeths mother is hard at work trying to find husbands for all of her daughters, but Elizabeth has her own plan. She is more of a free spirit, with her own ideas and thoughts, which is not how the world operated in those days. Women were supposed to marry, raise a family, and keep there ideas to themselves. After much bickering with one another throughout the movie, in the end Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy put there pride aside and fall madly in love.
This relates to my theme because it was Elizabeths pride that kept her from being with Mr. Darcy for so long. She knew he was the love of her life, but she held back making sure he knew she was still her own person. She did not want to just get married and live the life she was expected to live. She expected more for life and she waited for it.
