Pride and prejudice characteristic. movie pride and prejudice

“Remember, if our sorrows come from Pride and Prejudice, then we also owe deliverance from them to Pride and Prejudice, for good and evil are so wonderfully balanced in the world.” These words really fully reveal the intention of Jane Austen's novel. A provincial family, as they say, of a “middle hand”: the father of the family, Mr. Bennet, is quite noble blood, phlegmatic, prone to a stoically doomed perception of both life around him and himself; he treats his own wife with particular irony: Mrs. Bennet really cannot boast of either origin, intelligence or upbringing. She is frankly stupid, blatantly tactless, extremely limited and, accordingly, has a very high opinion of her own person. The Bennets have five daughters: the eldest, Jane and Elizabeth, will become the central characters of the novel. The action takes place in a typical English province. In the small town of Meryton, in the county of Hertfordshire, sensational news comes: one of the richest estates in the Netherfield Park district will no longer be empty: it was rented by a wealthy young man, a “metropolitan thing” and an aristocrat, Mr. Bingley. To all the above-mentioned virtues, there was added one more, the most essential, truly priceless: Mr. Bingley was a bachelor. And the minds of the surrounding mothers were darkened and confused by this news for a long time; mind (more precisely, instinct!) Mrs. Bennet in particular. It's a joke to say - five daughters! However, Mr. Bingley does not arrive alone, he is accompanied by his sisters, as well as his inseparable friend Mr. Darcy. Bingley is simple-hearted, trusting, naive, open to communication, devoid of any snobbery and ready to love everyone and everyone. Darcy is the complete opposite of him: proud, arrogant, withdrawn, full of consciousness of his own exclusivity, belonging to a chosen circle. The relationship that develops between Bingley - Jane and Darcy - Elizabeth is quite consistent with their characters. In the former, they are imbued with clarity and spontaneity, both are simple-hearted and trusting (which at first will become the soil on which mutual feelings will arise, then the cause of their separation, then bring them together again). With Elizabeth and Darcy, everything will turn out to be completely different: attraction-repulsion, mutual sympathy and equally obvious mutual hostility; in a word, the very “pride and prejudice” (both!) that will bring them a lot of suffering and mental anguish, through which they will be painfully, while never “departing from the face” (that is, from themselves), to break through to each other . Their first meeting will immediately indicate mutual interest, more precisely, mutual curiosity. Both are equally outstanding: just as Elizabeth sharply differs from the local young ladies in her sharpness of mind, independence of judgments and assessments, so Darcy - in her upbringing, manners, restrained arrogance, stands out among the crowd of officers of the regiment stationed in Meryton, the very ones that brought them together with their uniforms and epaulettes crazy little Miss Bennet, Lydia and Kitty. However, at first, it is Darcy's arrogance, his emphasized snobbery, when with all his behavior, in which cold courtesy for a sensitive ear can, not without reason, sound almost insulting, it is precisely these qualities that cause Elizabeth and hostility, and even indignation. For if the pride inherent in both of them immediately (inwardly) brings them together, then Darcy's prejudices, his class arrogance can only repel Elizabeth. Their dialogues - in rare and random meetings at balls and in drawing rooms - are always a verbal duel. A duel of equal opponents - invariably courteous, never going beyond the limits of decency and secular conventions. Mr. Bingley's sisters, quickly seeing the mutual feeling that has arisen between their brother and Jane Bennet, do everything to alienate them from each other. When the danger begins to seem quite inevitable to them, they simply “take away” him to London. Subsequently, we learn that Darcy played a very significant role in this unexpected flight. As it should be in a "classic" novel, the main storyline is overgrown with numerous branches. So, at some point, Mr. Bennet's cousin Mr. Collins appears in the house of Mr. Bennet, who, according to the English laws on majorate, after the death of Mr. Bennet, who has no male heirs, must come into possession of their Longbourn estate, as a result of which Mrs. Bennet and her daughters may end up without a roof over their heads. The letter received from Collins, and then his own appearance, testify to how limited, stupid and self-confident this gentleman is - precisely because of these virtues, as well as another very important one: the ability to flatter and please - who managed to get a parish on the estate of a noble Ladies Lady de Boer, Later it turns out that she is Darcy's own aunt - only in her arrogance, unlike her nephew, there will not be a glimpse of a living human feeling, not the slightest ability for a spiritual impulse. Mr. Collins comes to Longbourn not by chance: having decided, as required by his dignity (and Lady de Boer too), to enter into a legal marriage, he opted for the family of his cousin Bennett, confident that he would not meet with refusal: after all, his marriage to one of Miss Bennet will automatically make the happy chosen one the rightful mistress of Longbourn. His choice falls, of course, on Elizabeth. Her refusal plunges him into the deepest amazement: after all, not to mention his personal virtues, with this marriage he was going to benefit the whole family. However, Mr. Collins consoled himself very soon: Elizabeth's closest friend, Charlotte Lucas, turns out to be more practical in all respects and, having judged all the advantages of this marriage, gives Mr. Collins her consent. Meanwhile, another man appears in Meryton, a young officer of the Wickham regiment stationed in the city. Appearing at one of the balls, he makes a rather strong impression on Elizabeth: charming, helpful, at the same time not stupid, able to please even such an outstanding young lady as Miss Bennet. Elizabeth develops a special trust in him after she realizes that he is familiar with Darcy - the arrogant, unbearable Darcy! - and not just a sign, but, according to the stories of Wickham himself, is a victim of his dishonesty. The halo of a martyr who suffered through the fault of a person who causes such hostility in her makes Wickham even more attractive in her eyes. Some time after the sudden departure of Mr. Bingley with his sisters and Darcy, the older Miss Bennet themselves end up in London - to stay at the house of their uncle Mr. Gardiner and his wife, a lady to whom both nieces have sincere emotional affection. And from London, Elizabeth, already without a sister, goes to her friend Charlotte, the very one that became the wife of Mr. Collins. At Lady de Boer's house, Elizabeth again encounters Darcy. Their conversations at the table, in public, again resemble a verbal duel - and again, Elizabeth turns out to be a worthy opponent. And given that the action still takes place at the turn of the 18th - 19th centuries, then such impudence from the lips of a young lady - on the one hand a lady, on the other - a dowry may seem like real freethinking: “You wanted to embarrass me, Mr. Darcy ... but I I'm not at all afraid of you ... Stubbornness does not allow me to show cowardice when others want it. When you try to intimidate me, I become even more impudent. But one fine day, when Elizabeth is sitting alone in the living room, Darcy suddenly appears on the threshold; “All my struggle was in vain! Nothing comes out. I can't handle my feeling. Know that I am infinitely fascinated by you and that I love you!” But Elizabeth rejects his love with the same determination with which she once rejected the claims of Mr. Collins. At Darcy's request to explain both her refusal and the hostility towards him, so undisguised by her, Elizabeth speaks of Jane's happiness destroyed because of him, of Wickham insulted by him. Again - a duel, again - a scythe on a stone. For, even when making an offer, Darcy cannot (and does not want to!) hide the fact that, while making it, he still always remembers that, having married Elizabeth, he thereby inevitably “will enter into kinship with those who are so below him on the social ladder." And it is these words (although Elizabeth understands no less than him how limited her mother is, how ignorant her younger sisters are, and much more than he suffers from this) that hurt her unbearably painfully. In the scene of their explanation, equal temperaments, equal "pride and prejudice" clash. The next day, Darcy hands Elizabeth a voluminous letter - a letter in which he explains to her his behavior towards Bingley (desire to save a friend from the very misalliance that he is ready for now!), - explains, without looking for excuses for himself, without hiding his an active role in this matter; but the second is the details of the "Wickham case", which put both of its participants (Darcy and Wickham) in a completely different light. In Darcy's story, it is Wickham who turns out to be both a deceiver and a low, licentious, dishonorable person. Darcy's letter stuns Elizabeth - not only by the truth revealed in it, but, no less, by her awareness of her own blindness, experienced by shame for the involuntary insult that she inflicted on Darcy: “How shameful I have acted! .. I, who was so proud of my insight and relying so much on her own common sense!” With these thoughts, Elizabeth returns home to Longbourn. And from there, together with Aunt Gardiner and her husband, he goes on a short trip around Derbyshire. Among the sights that lie in their path is Pemberley; beautiful old estate owned by... Darcy. And although Elizabeth knows for sure that these days the house should be empty, just at the moment when the housekeeper Darcy proudly shows them the interior, Darcy reappears on the threshold. For several days that they constantly meet - now in Pemberley, now in the house where Elizabeth and her companions are staying - he invariably amazes everyone with his courtesy, and friendliness, and ease of handling. Is this the same proud Darcy? However, Elizabeth's attitude towards him has also changed, and where previously she was ready to see only flaws, now she is quite inclined to find many advantages. Is this the very proud Darcy? However, the attitude of Elizabeth herself towards him also changed, and where previously she was ready to see only flaws, now she is quite inclined to find many advantages. But then an event occurs: from a letter received from Jane, Elizabeth learns that their younger sister, the unlucky and frivolous Lydia, ran away with a young officer - none other than Wickham. Such - in tears, in confusion, in despair - finds her Darcy in the house, alone. Beside herself with grief, Elizabeth talks about the misfortune that has befallen their family (dishonor is worse than death!), And only then, when, having bowed dryly, he suddenly abruptly leaves, she realizes what happened. Not with Lydia, with herself. After all, now she can never become the wife of Darcy - she, whose own sister has forever disgraced herself, thereby imposing an indelible stigma on the whole family. In particular - on their unmarried sisters. She hurriedly returns home, where she finds everyone in despair and confusion. Uncle Gardiner hastily leaves for London in search of the fugitives, where he unexpectedly quickly finds them. Then, even more unexpectedly, he persuades Wickham to marry Lydia. And only later, from a casual conversation, Elizabeth learns that it was Darcy who found Wickham, it was he who forced him (with the help of a considerable amount of money) into marriage with the girl he had seduced. After this opening, the action is rapidly approaching a happy denouement. Bingley and his sisters and Darcy return to Netherfield Park. Bingley proposes to Jane. Another explanation takes place between Darcy and Elizabeth, this time the last one. Having become the wife of Darcy, our heroine also becomes the full mistress of Pemberley - the very one where they first understood each other. And Darcy's young sister Georgiana, with whom Elizabeth "established the closeness that Darcy expected, learned from her experience that a woman can afford to treat her husband in a way that a younger sister cannot treat her brother."

I just finished reading this book and am in such a strange but happy state right now. In my opinion, the book is wonderful and alive. And how much humor in it! And not flat or vulgar, but real. In principle, I really like the stories about that time, distinguished by its nobility and grace. Well, the most important thing: the heroes of this work. Darcy! Mr Darcy! I fell in love with him from the first point, so Mr. Bingley (with all due respect and admiration for his person) faded into the background for me. From the very beginning, Darcy stood out sharply from the rest, he did not run after the ladies, did not seek the favor of those around him. He is sincere in everything and does not tolerate falsehood. In addition to all this, he is also beautiful. I immediately liked his behavior, appearance and even pride. Probably because his pride set him apart from a homogeneous mass of other characters. But this does not mean that other characters are all the same and boring, on the contrary, there are some very interesting ones among them. For example, Mr. Collins, with his boring character, often gave cause for laughter (for which I am very grateful to him). Mr. Bingley and Jane are just angels. They are both so sweet, kind, generous! There are probably very few girls like Jane. Mr. Bingley and Jane are made for each other (I don't really like this expression, but I don't know what to replace it with). Therefore, I want them to be fine in the future. Miss Georgiana Darcy is certainly admirable. Firstly, because of her character, and secondly, because she is Darcy's sister. Although before she met Elizabeth, I thought she was an arrogant and proud girl. It turned out that this is a wonderful person. Lydia annoyed me at times, as did Mary's untimely remarks. But I feel sorry for the last one. Mrs. Bennet also deserves sympathy, but more often I was annoyed and ashamed of her words and behavior. But Mr. Bennet is one of the few who possessed common sense in this family and in the whole district. I liked him, but in some cases his behavior was unworthy. But this rarely happened. I also don't understand why he married Mrs Bennet. I could have found someone better. But still, the reaction of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley to the stupidity of their mother-in-law does them credit. And finally, Elizabeth Bennet. While reading, I must have looked at everything through her eyes. Although there were some differences of opinion. It seems that her character was superbly thought out by the author. A detailed evolution of her thoughts is given. And it is quite clear why she became the beloved daughter of her father. None of her sisters had such intelligence, such vivacity and such common sense. In addition, she is completely natural and not perfect, which ultimately brings her closer to the ideal. Elizabeth and Jane truly deserve the happiness they have received. I very much enjoyed Elizabeth's conversation with Lady Catherine at Longbourn. If I were in Miss Bennet's place, I would either freak out and yell at Mrs. de Boer, or just not find what to answer. But Lizzy's behavior and her answers simply delighted me. What common sense! What self-control! And with what dignity she behaved! How I wish I could be just like her! Full compliance is out of the question, because each person is special and unique. But to develop my mind and improve my manners, of course, it will not hurt me. So I am very grateful to Jane Austen for this book. It will probably be in my top five favorite books. Of course, this is not all that I wanted to say about this book, but if I say everything, it will take too much time. How I envy those who have just started reading! And I also wanted to say that the plots of some melodramas and fan fiction resemble the plot of Pride and Prejudice, but there is no vulgarity or snotty scenes here. In general, "Pride and Prejudice" is a wonderful and worthy work that made me think about my character and behavior.

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen. At the beginning of the 19th century, the English writer Jane Austen wrote her novels with a grace, depth and wisdom that freed the genre of the novel from the stigma of "frivolity"; and taught for many generations ...
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen. "Pride and Prejudice" - a masterpiece of English literature, was written by Jane Austen in 1796-1797 and still has not lost its popularity. So much so that in 2003 he took second place ...

“Remember, if our sorrows come from Pride and Prejudice, then we also owe deliverance from them to Pride and Prejudice, for good and evil are so wonderfully balanced in the world.”

These words really fully reveal the intention of Jane Austen's novel.

A provincial family, as they say, of a “middle hand”: the father of the family, Mr. Bennet, is quite noble blood, phlegmatic, prone to a stoically doomed perception of both life around him and himself; he treats his own wife with particular irony: Mrs. Bennet really cannot boast of either origin, intelligence or upbringing. She is frankly stupid, blatantly tactless, extremely limited and, accordingly, has a very high opinion of her own person. The Bennets have five daughters: the eldest, Jane and Elizabeth, will become the central characters of the novel.

The action takes place in a typical English province. In the small town of Meryton, in the county of Hertfordshire, sensational news comes: one of the richest estates in the Netherfield Park district will no longer be empty: it was rented by a wealthy young man, a “metropolitan thing” and an aristocrat, Mr. Bingley. To all the above-mentioned virtues, there was added one more, the most essential, truly priceless: Mr. Bingley was a bachelor. And the minds of the surrounding mothers were darkened and confused by this news for a long time; mind (more precisely, instinct!) Mrs. Bennet in particular. It's a joke to say - five daughters! However, Mr. Bingley does not arrive alone, he is accompanied by his sisters, as well as his inseparable friend Mr. Darcy. Bingley is simple-minded, trusting, naive, open to communication, devoid of any snobbery and ready to love everyone and everyone. Darcy is the complete opposite of him: proud, arrogant, withdrawn, full of consciousness of his own exclusivity, belonging to a chosen circle.

The relationship that develops between Bingley - Jane and Darcy - Elizabeth is quite consistent with their characters. In the former, they are imbued with clarity and spontaneity, both are simple-hearted and trusting (which at first will become the soil on which mutual feelings will arise, then the cause of their separation, then bring them together again). With Elizabeth and Darcy, everything will turn out to be completely different: attraction-repulsion, mutual sympathy and equally obvious mutual hostility; in a word, the very “pride and prejudice” (both!) that will bring them a lot of suffering and mental anguish, through which they will be painfully, while never “departing from the face” (that is, from themselves), to break through to each other . Their first meeting will immediately indicate mutual interest, more precisely, mutual curiosity. Both are equally outstanding: just as Elizabeth sharply differs from the local young ladies in her sharpness of mind, independence of judgments and assessments, so Darcy - in her upbringing, manners, restrained arrogance, stands out among the crowd of officers of the regiment stationed in Meryton, the very ones that brought them together with their uniforms and epaulettes crazy little Miss Bennet, Lydia and Kitty. However, at first, it was Darcy's arrogance, his emphasized snobbery, when with all his behavior, in which cold courtesy for a sensitive ear can, not without reason, sound almost insulting, it is precisely these qualities that cause Elizabeth and hostility, and even indignation. For if the pride inherent in both of them immediately (inwardly) brings them together, then Darcy's prejudices, his class arrogance can only repel Elizabeth. Their dialogues - in rare and random meetings at balls and in drawing rooms - are always a verbal duel. A duel of equal opponents - invariably courteous, never going beyond the limits of decency and secular conventions.

Mr. Bingley's sisters, quickly seeing the mutual feeling that has arisen between their brother and Jane Bennet, do everything to alienate them from each other. When the danger begins to seem quite inevitable to them, they simply “take away” him to London. Subsequently, we learn that Darcy played a very significant role in this unexpected flight.

Jane Austen's novel tells the story of a poor noble Bennet family. 5 daughters grew up in the family at once and all must be successfully married. In the XIX century in England there are special rules, based on which it is almost impossible for a poor girl to find family happiness. However, there is a girl in the family, Elizabeth, who differs from her sisters in her special views on life, family happiness and marriage. The events taking place in the life of the Bennet and Elizabeth family are described in this work.

Due to various social prejudices, people are often afraid to show their true feelings. The novel "Pride and Prejudice" teaches you to listen to your heart and feelings, discarding unnecessary pride and prejudice.

Read the Pride and Prejudice Summary by Jane Austen

In the center of the story is an impoverished aristocratic family. The father of the family, Mr. Bennet, is distinguished by prudence, goodwill and a good sense of humor. His wife, on the contrary, is very stupid and naive. The couple has 5 daughters, the eldest Jane and Elizabeth have already matured and are ready for marriage. Jane is distinguished by incredible beauty, innocence and kindness. Since childhood, Elizabeth has been very smart, witty, proud and noble. The girl is often ashamed of her stupid sisters and mother. Both girls dream of marrying for love, but at the same time they are aware of their deplorable situation.

A wealthy young man, Mr. Bingley, unexpectedly arrives at a neighboring estate. The aristocrat visits the estate not alone, but with his sisters and closest friend Mr. Darcy. Mr. Bingley has a cheerful disposition, he is kind and naive. Mr Darcy is the exact opposite of his friend. He is closed, arrogant and confident in his own exclusivity.

Mr. Bennet and his wife introduce their eldest daughters to these wealthy young people. Between Mr. Bingley and Jane immediately there is a mutual sympathy. But the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth develops much more complicated. Heroes often engage in verbal skirmish, expressing their own points of view. At first, such disputes fueled the interest of the characters in each other, but gradually these conversations began to hurt the pride of the girl and Mr. Darcy. Their disputes only spoiled the relationship, but both heroes, for some unknown reason, are drawn to each other. Mr. Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth, but cannot confess his feelings to her because of his own prejudices.

In addition, Mr. Darcy interferes in the relationship between Bingley and Jane. He tries to save his friend from an unequal marriage and takes him to London away from his beloved.

Mr. Darcy soon returned to Elizabeth's estate and confessed his feelings. However, the girl rejected his feelings as she was offended by Darcy's act towards Bingley and her sister.

After the departure of Bingy and Darcy, the situation of the Bennet family deteriorates significantly. Jane suffers from the betrayal of a loved one, Elizabeth condemns Darcy's act. Soon another tragic event occurs - the head of the family dies. The already deplorable financial situation of the family deteriorates sharply. The Bennets are on the brink of bankruptcy and poverty. The situation of the family worsens even more after the arrival of a nephew who is ready to help the Bennets if Elizabeth marries him.

A proud girl refuses a relative and goes to visit her uncle and aunt. Along the way, she decides to visit the Darcy estate, knowing that the owner is not at home. Mr. Darcy unexpectedly returns to the manor and meets with Elizabeth. He again confesses his love to the girl, but Elizabeth cannot forgive the young man for his neglect of his origin. Darcy hastily leaves the estate.

Soon, Elizabeth receives the sad news that her younger sister has run away from home with a young officer, Wickham. Thus, she put the whole family in a shameful position. However, after that the problem is resolved. The officer married his sister, restoring her reputation.

Elizabeth Bennet learns that Mr. Darcy paid Wickham to marry him. This event makes Elizabeth look at Darcy not as a proud, arrogant person, but as a decent aristocrat with a good heart, who is not indifferent to the fate of Elizabeth and her family.

The Bennet family is on the mend. Elizabeth accepted Darcy's marriage proposal, and Bingley soon married Jane.
