Transcript - Pride and Prejudice

[(Anonymous)]

I find the character of Elizabeth rude, arrogant, proud and judging. On top of that hypocritical seeing that she judges everyone else for the traits she herself displays. I don't understand why she is so beloved or relatable to readers. At least we're told the others are annoying. I also feel like this book is to blame for every rom com with an unlikable couple who meet, have a misunderstanding that could be cleared up if they talked like adults, and aren't really very romantic at all. At least to me. I don't get why this book is held up as the best love story ever at all. I found it cold.

I see what you mean. I think some people like to project onto her [like Twilight's Bella] and just like the idea of bantering/liking Mr. Darcy etc. I think what's nice about Elizabeth and Darcy is that they really end up trusting each other/sharing secrets etc, and him trying to help her/her family is just a moving thing for anyone to do for another person. I also feel like there are lots of good vibes in the book that make people rate it super high, like jane/bingley being so sweet in the end, and Georgiana-Darcy's sibling tie etc. Imho if the costumes/sets in the 1995 version weren't so beautiful, I feel like P&P would be a tiny bit less considered perfect/the epitome of romance etc. Just my opinion.

What turns me off P&P a little bit [though I do like it] is having to be around/reading about annoying characters for so long at times, like Lady C, the Bingley sisters, most of the Bennet family, Collins etc. That gets annoying for me, it's not fun to watch those parts imho.
