1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and welcome to Steph.

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: I never told your prediction of iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Ah. And the time has come, and what time you

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: may all be asking? That time to bring in the

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: good old classics. Yes, for our book club, we are

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: finally coming to one of my all time favorites, Pride

7
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: and Prejudice by Jane Austen, And it's a truth universally

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: acknowledged that are now famous and respected. Writer Jane Austen

9
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: really was a woman beyond her time. So let's come

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: together and discuss one of her more popular novels, Pride

11
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: and Prejudice, which actually had a different title, but then

12
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: they changed it about and they're like, Okay, no, we

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: need to make it in this title, which is what

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: we know it. It's just Pride and Prejudice. Barely. There

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: was like several other books that had been I think

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: named that or something along those lines, and so there

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: was a lot of confusion and she went back and forth. Anyway,

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: it is now what it is, and sounded like she

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: did not make much money off of it, y'all. It's

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: a really sad life. She had a really kind of

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: sad life. It emulated a lot of through her books,

22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: like you'll see things being told like the whole entailment

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: when there's not a son born that the like the

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: next male heir or like related relation will take it,

25
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: take over it. And like there was a bit where

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: one brother there's a book and I forgot which one

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: because I read it's been a long time takes the

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: takes the ownership. And in the wheel, they're like, can

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: you please take care of the mother and the daughters

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: And he does not. He like just pretty much just

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: cast them out. It was really sad and gross. Ah,

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: and it's kind of reminiscent to her life, like it's

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: not not great. She wasn't given to do even though

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: she had success pretty early on, she just didn't make

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: money off of it, which is all sad.

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: Yes, and we have talked about that before. I feel

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: like it's come up in several episodes. I think it

38
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: even came up in our episode on women writing romance.

39
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Briefly it came up. This was inspired by the fact

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: that I had read that after we read last month's

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: book club pick Pride, which was a remix of Pride

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: and Prejudice, it came out. I had never read this

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: one I feel like we kind of talked about it

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: in there, and we talked about it in some other

45
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: because I feel like I know, like the vague details

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: of this because you've told me, right, but I don't

47
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: know all the specifics right.

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: And I think I'm geting coviews because we did have

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: an expert who did tours or if you remember that

50
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: episode in England, which I still want to go on, like,

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: oh my god, I want to go. I want to

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: go to hear because I think I'm wrong in some

53
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: things because she did have brothers, they just ended up

54
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: being like not from a wealthy family, all these things,

55
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: but like her father was a scholar, all these different things,

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: and the book was initially called First Impressions, which is

57
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: I think it makes a lot of sense, like when

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: you think about all of that, and the pride and

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: prejudice came instead so so many different things. Uh, we

60
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: did have that episode. We probably need to bring it

61
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: back as a classic so I can be corrected. And

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: what I just said about Jane Austen, but she did

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: she was like, she did not live a rich life

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: and she was supposed to marry someone rich and then

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: that didn't happen. And all these things. So she wanted

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: to marry for love, and we really really like wrote

67
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: about the possibility of being able to do so, but

68
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: she didn't. Anyway, before we jump into the actual plot, Annie,

69
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts now that I have forced you

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: into actually reading the original classic because I've made you

71
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: watch Bridget Jones' Diary, which is kind, which is a

72
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: retelling of that, as well as we read the book Pride.

73
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: So what were your thoughts?

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: It was really interesting to come from that perspective, and

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: I actually think it was sort of helpful because we've

76
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: also read Persuasions by Jane Austen and I really like

77
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that too, but I got confused because of

78
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: the way they would refer to people, so like miss

79
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: whoever right, And there's just a certain part of my

80
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: modern brain that's like, that's your cousin, though, So I

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: would just get confused. So I think it actually helped

82
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: me to have read Pride first. I really enjoyed it.

83
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: I see why it's been such a lasting classic. It's

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: got so many great lines. It's very witty, That's why

85
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: I told you, And I know people have said that before,

86
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: but it's very witty. Like, Elizabeth has just got all

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: these comebacks, and they're so well thought out and fun.

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: They're fun to read. I enjoyed all of the like

89
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: relationships between like Elizabeth and her father, and then you

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: got the mother who's like worrying all the time. And

91
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: I also thought it was interesting because when you're looking

92
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: at the more modern take that Pride did their cell phones,

93
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: so things happen much quicker, right, So the whole thing

94
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: with Lydia, I was like, well, wow, this is clearly different.

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: This is like much more stressful because we don't know

96
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: where she is.

97
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: We're just going by horsecarash to try. Yeah, there's my

98
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: favorite part. It's like the Overnight Express and all these things. Yes,

99
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: but yeah, and then also that's why I was like

100
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: originally telling you, I was like, I'm not sure how

101
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: they're going to do the Lydia the youngest child. But

102
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: because in this cake, she's fifteen runs away with a

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: twenty something year old. Oh, obviously they're like in fo grante.

104
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: As I say, uh, and her reputation would be shot

105
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: And I'm like, are they gonna have see because it's

106
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: supposed to be one of the things, like age difference

107
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: is one of those things as well, like all these

108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: things and I'm like, how are they going to do this?

109
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: And she did a wonderful job, and what like what

110
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: would be the scandals today? That wasn't they're going to

111
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: put someone in jail?

112
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was it was still tense and pride.

113
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: It was just like resolved much more quickly.

114
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Right right, right. She did a great job on that. Yes,

115
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, so what would you wait it on the

116
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: scale of books they read that you've read.

117
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I really I don't know how to put

118
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: it on scales, man. But I did really enjoy it.

119
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I all my friends growing up

120
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: loved it, and I just it was never like, oh

121
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: I won't read that. I just wasn't into romance, so

122
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: I just never did. But I did really enjoy it.

123
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: And like I said, I was like, oh, yeah, I

124
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: could see you told me you read it in like

125
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: one night. I was like, oh, I can because you

126
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I want to see what happens next.

127
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: It was a really enjoyable book. And I think it's

128
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: pretty impressive that for you know, me coming into it

129
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: in the year twenty twenty four, that I was still

130
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: like oh yes, yeah, this is hitting. Yeah, yeah, Like

131
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: it was really enjoyable and it didn't feel like there

132
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: were certainly some things where I was like, oh, that

133
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: must be a thing at the time, but mostly I

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this is still people are kind of.

135
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: Like this right, And you know what, I had to

136
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: come back at the end and say, as annoying as

137
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: the mother character is, she's not wrong in something, and

138
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: like I was like, yeah, I get it, I get it,

139
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: but yeah, let's jump into it and we're gonna start

140
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: with the characters because I feel like that needs to

141
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: be the breakdown first, or you're you're probably if you

142
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 2: have not read it and you do like to read,

143
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: this is something that you should pick up if you

144
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: haven't already. I'm gonna be surprised if you haven't. But

145
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: for those of you who maybe like naysayers because you

146
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: don't understand the level of newness and freshness for this

147
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: book during this time and what she was saying about

148
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: society Austin in itself again going against the idea, Like

149
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: she understood the rules and followed them, however she really

150
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: felt like they were ridiculous, as we all do, I think,

151
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: and I think we're learning that more and more, and

152
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: then there's just the unfair fairness of it all as well.

153
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: But she also is like she's a girl's girl, but

154
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: not a girl's girl here I will say she has

155
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: like Elizabeth the main character. So there's a lot to

156
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: be said about this fun fact. Audible has it and

157
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: rosemand Pike is the one who reads it. So who

158
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: plays Jane in the newer adaptation with Kiera Knightley that

159
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: I hate of pride and prejudice HM, just so we

160
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: had that and she does squeak with the voices. It

161
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: really threw me off though. I was like, she has

162
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: a very shrill voice for the mother threw me off,

163
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: and I think it's also a kind of like higher

164
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: speeds those even shriller right in which she's voicing putpil

165
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: job because I do love Rozen Pike. She does a

166
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: great job. And so if you want entertaining to listen

167
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: and you needed a break from our podcast, which I

168
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: hope you don't take a break, but if you need,

169
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: you know, but something in between, you should listen to that.

170
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: So we have the Bennettes and relations and friends that

171
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: you should know about which the main character is Elizabeth,

172
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: who's the second oldest daughter in the Bennett family. You're

173
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: gonna hear most of it from her point of view,

174
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: or see it from most most of it from her

175
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: point of view and narrators. Obviously, we have Jane, who

176
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: is the oldest and fan west and kindest of them all,

177
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: kind mannered, best disposition, according to all of the narrations,

178
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: Mary the middle and the plain his sister really cruel,

179
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 2: but she's also very serious and scholarly and little too stoic,

180
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: to the point that she misreads the room a lot.

181
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: Then we have Catherine Kitty, who is the fourth daughter.

182
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: She doesn't get as much play because she's not seen

183
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: as much, but she's one of the sillier, as her

184
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: father would put put it, girls of the family. Then

185
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,479
Speaker 2: you have Lydia, who is the youngest and most spoiled

186
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: and very loud, and Kitty lives under her shadow, essentially.

187
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: Then we have mister Bennett, who is the father, who

188
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 2: is very sarcastic, very stoic, obviously, does not care much

189
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: for his wife in personality, but loves his all, loves

190
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: his family. But his favorite probably would go with Jane

191
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: and Elizabeth because they have the most sense. As he

192
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: would say, Then we have Missus Bennett, who is the

193
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: mother of very materialistic, very like, disingenuous, judgmental, a little

194
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: bit of a kypochondriac, and loves to tell people how

195
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: she suffers. Then we have Charlotte Lucas who is Elizabeth's

196
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: friend and their neighbor essentially best friend. Mister Collins who

197
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: is the cousin of the family and is the male

198
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: relation that will be owning a long worn after the

199
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: father passes away because he's the next male relative. Then

200
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: we have the Gardeners who hit the is. Mister Gardner

201
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: is the brother to miss Bennett, Missus Bennett the wife

202
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: and his wife who comes into play Missus Gardners. We

203
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: have mister and Missus Gardner. Then we have Darcy and Friends.

204
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: We have Fitz William Darcy who is the main love

205
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: interest male character, proud wealthy owner of Pemberley. We have

206
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: Charles Bingley who is a handsome, amiable, wealthy friend who

207
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: takes over Netherfield Park which is in that area Meryton

208
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: area as well. We have Caroline Bingley who is the

209
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: sister to Bingley, who is also very judgmental in high society.

210
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: Louisa Hurst, who is also the sister to Bingley and

211
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: her husband mister Hurst, who comes into play. We have

212
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: our Colonel Fitzwilliams, who is Darcy's cousin that comes just

213
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: for a slight scene, but fairly important. We have Lady

214
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: Catherine de Bergh, who is the aunt to Darcy, also

215
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: very important and the benefactor to benefactress I guess, to Collins,

216
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: mister Collins who has a daughter named Anne just you know,

217
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: she's not really big, but just you know, you know.

218
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: And then we have Georgina Darcy, who is the younger

219
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: sister of Darcy.

220
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: There you go, got it.

221
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: You're welcome. So here is a rundown. I thought I

222
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: thought it was gonna be quick, but it is not.

223
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 2: Because I am me and I love the story. Here

224
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: we go and go ahead and put this as a

225
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: kind of like a warning. I guess. I have watched

226
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: the BBC series way too many times to count, like

227
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: I own the DVDs. I have found them on Disney,

228
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: thank you very much, and I have repeatedly watched them

229
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: that I just recently watched them as I was also

230
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: listening to the book. Yes I did, so. Some of

231
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: these things overlap and how it happens because there's obviously

232
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: interpretations when it comes to the filming. Still the best

233
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: adaptation to me, of course, it's like eighteen twenty hours long,

234
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: and that's why. However, so if I get some of

235
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: these things mixed up because it was different on the show,

236
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: please forgive me. But it kind of runs in the

237
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: same line. And Annie, you're ready, we're gonna go through this.

238
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: I swear to got it fast, not right.

239
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: So we have the announcement with the infamous starting line,

240
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man

241
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: in possession of a good fortune must be in want

242
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: of a wife, obviously, and it begins with an announcement

243
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: that Netherfield has been let at last a very eligible bachelor,

244
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: which Miss Bennett has set her sights on for her

245
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: dear daughters. After some teasing and back and forth with

246
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: her husband, mister Bennett, finally it meant to having actually

247
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: made introductions to with the new gentleman of the neighborhood,

248
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 2: mister Bingley. So you have to do that first or

249
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: it'd be improper. They the women could not talk to him,

250
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: remember society. After an encounter at a neighborhood ball at

251
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: Bingley falls head over hills for the lovely Jane, which

252
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: comes to no surprise. We also meet the sisters Caroline

253
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: and Louisa, along with Bingley's best friend mister Darcy, who

254
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: was disliked from the moment he opens his mouth, Rude

255
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: and too proud many say about him, even to the

256
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: point that he refuses to dance at the ball, even

257
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: with the lovely Elizabeth, who finds it all a joke

258
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: and easily brushes the size and says, I wouldn't even

259
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: think about it dancing with him. He's fine, I don't

260
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: need him. And as for mister Bingley and Jane, they

261
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: seem to hit it off. Even the sisters. Bingley sisters

262
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: are incline to like her, even with the fact that

263
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: she is has unfortunate connections as a not high society. Later,

264
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: Jane is invited to Netherfield while the men are away

265
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: to visit with the sisters. Missus Bennett plots instance Jane

266
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: off on horseback instead of a carriage as it looks

267
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: like rain and she may have to stay at Netherfield

268
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: for a bit longer than expected. Jane ends up getting

269
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: a cold because yes, it does rain, and having to

270
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: remain there for a while and after the weather has cleared,

271
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: Elizabeth goes to visit and take care of her sister

272
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: at Netherfield because she can't leave her alone obviously, and

273
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: of course this leads to her having to interact with

274
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: the Bingleys and Darcy, where we find them having a

275
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: rousing discussion of false like pride and vanity. Yes, and

276
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: here's a quote. Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed, because

277
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: she accuses him of that. But pride, where there's this

278
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: real superiority of mind, Pride will be always under good regulation.

279
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: So he's like, that's not a fault, it's dis earned.

280
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: After an embarrassing visit from the mother at Netherfield, and

281
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: once Jane is finally recovered, they go home, but we

282
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: find out that Darcy is in danger of falling for

283
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: Elizabeth and her wit and her charms at this time Reiro.

284
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: Soon we have a very entertaining visit from the Bennett's cousin,

285
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: mister Collins, who has traveled there not only to reconcile

286
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: from past indifferences or past differences, but also possibly bridgid

287
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: tie in between tie between them and the Bennetes. Yes,

288
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: Collins being the next Bill in the family. Line will

289
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: be inheriting Longbourne and has plans of trying to marry

290
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: one of his cousins with the blessings of his patronage,

291
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: Lady Katherin de Bergh, who is rich and somewhat eccentric

292
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: and very narcissistic, but hey. After finding out that Jane

293
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: was unavailable, he decides on Elizabeth as his choice. Obviously.

294
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: All the while, the militia has moved into Meryton, to

295
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: the excitement of Lydia and Kitty and so many others.

296
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: Soon we meet Wickham, a handsome and very light man

297
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: of the militia, and of course we find out that

298
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: Wickham and Darcy have an unfavorable connection. Wickham just says

299
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: pretty much that Darcy lies, takes away his money, takes

300
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: away his home, and does not like him because Darcy's

301
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 2: father preferred Wickham over himself rout Row. That's a wretched

302
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: thing and very very unforgivable according to all the society

303
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 2: and Elizabeth, And soon Wickham shows his affections towards Elizabeth,

304
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: who doesn't mind it at all because he's quite nice

305
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: and quite nice looking. Later, the gardeners, the aunt and

306
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: uncle join who and they are really good influences to

307
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: the young ladies and someone Elizabeth sees as people of

308
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: good respect and opinions. Missus Gardner, however, advises Elizabeth to

309
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: be wary of Wickham and to remember her own status

310
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: and needs for a good marriage. You know, you have

311
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: to have a good marriage or are you going to

312
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: be sad? Soon we have a much awaited gathering, the

313
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: much weighting gathering rather at Netherfield with all the people,

314
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: including so militia. Unfortunately, Wickham was not able to make

315
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: it due to other matters, to Elizabeth's disappointment. But mister Collins,

316
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: who's still there, takes up her first two dances and

317
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: is very embarrassing and very clumsy about it all. He

318
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: just can't get it. Mister Darcy, however, also asks for

319
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: a dance, which Elizabeth agrees to after being too stunned

320
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: to reject him, and she tries to make conversation does

321
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: not go well. After some embarrassing interactions by her family,

322
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: Elizabeth and family go back home where the mother was

323
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: so excited about all these interactions and the possibility of

324
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: these good connections. Soon we have a proposal of marriage

325
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: from for Elizabeth from Colin mister Collins, who was rejected

326
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: and dejected and flees to the Lucas' home for a

327
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: reprieve because you know, embarrassment, and soon find out that

328
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: Bingley's and Darcy's have left to go back into town.

329
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, as in London, like away from Netherfield. Because town.

330
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: And also, by the way, this is how I refer

331
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 2: to town and when I was growing up in North Georgia,

332
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: because it was far away from my house, so I

333
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: would go into town, right. He made fun of me

334
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 2: for that, still do anyway. And at this point we

335
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: also find that Charlotte is engaged to mister Collins, to

336
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: missus Bennet's displeasure, because she wanted Elizabeth to marry him

337
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: as well as if I heard line, her home was

338
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 2: going to be taken over by the Lucases, how dare they?

339
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: And she's very mad at Elizabeth, very mad and all

340
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: the while, Wickham turns his attentions to a different woman

341
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: away from Elizabeth, who has a lot of money, and

342
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: Elizabeth accept that he has to marry for money as well,

343
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: so you know, understandable. Jane, in her heartbreak, goes off

344
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: with her aunt and uncle Gardner's, where she finds out

345
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: that the bingley sisters seem to know to want anything

346
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 2: to do with her, and that Bingley may soon be

347
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: married to Darcy's sister, Georgiana. Elizabeth embarks on a journey

348
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: as well to visit Chara at her new home with

349
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: mister Collins, and so many things happened, including getting to

350
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 2: meet the famous lady Catherine de Burgh, running into mister

351
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: Darcy and his cousin, Colonel William, who also takes a

352
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: liking to Miss Bennett as well, but also doesn't have

353
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: any money, so there's that. Soon, she finds out some

354
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: very important information. Darcy was intended to marry the Burgh's

355
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: daughter Anne, but Darcy wants to marry Elizabeth and proposes

356
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: in a very insulting manner, say that he wished she

357
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: didn't like her, essentially because she was so far beneath him,

358
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: so nice of him. Mister Darcy and Bingley's sister purposely

359
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: drove Bingley away from Jane and misled both of them,

360
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: and Wickham had lied about his entire situation, and that

361
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: actually Wickham had tried to take gotten money instead of

362
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: the building that he wanted because all he wanted was money,

363
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: and then tried after he ran out of money and

364
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: felt duped. He tried to run away with Darcy's younger

365
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: sister and make this a really bad situation, which Darcy

366
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: discovered them and quickly ran wick them out of town.

367
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: So all of that, remember that these are all the

368
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 2: things that she discovered. She was very, very very upset

369
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: when we were turning home, in so many secrets that

370
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: she had to hide, including from her sister that yes,

371
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: there was trickery into the demise of their relationship. So

372
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: decides to finally go on vacation with her aunt and

373
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: uncle Gardner. They all proceeded to tour Derbyshire, including the

374
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: beautiful land of Pemberley, which is owned by the Darcys,

375
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 2: thinking that the owners were not home. But oh, Darcy

376
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: arrives unexpectedly is more and it's quite polite and very

377
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 2: very welcoming to her and her family, and throughout that

378
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: time she's there, they interact more, making Elizabeth slowly change

379
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: her mind about Darcy. Soon she meets his sister, Georgiana,

380
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: who she likes immediately, and then she also sees her

381
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: all acquaintance, says the Bingleys, including the sisters. Unfortunately, and

382
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 2: as everything seems to be going so well, Elizabeth soon

383
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 2: finds out that oh no, her youngest sister has run

384
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: away with Wickham. Oh and she returns home quickly, but

385
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: not before telling mister Darcy all of these bad news,

386
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: and she knows and he knows what this is about.

387
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: And after returning home, she finds the home in a

388
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: terrible state and her father out searching for his daughter

389
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: along with her uncle Gardner. However, after many days of waiting,

390
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: good news comes and we find out that Lydia and

391
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: Wickham have married, so making it all right correcting this situation.

392
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: Later we find out that Darcy was the main reason

393
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: for this, and that he has financially backed the entire marriage.

394
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: Soon we have entertaining every interactions between Lady Catherine, who

395
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: comes to forbid Lizzie from even thinking about marrying her

396
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: Darcy because she's you know, he's intended for her daughter.

397
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: And after all that nothing comes about. A bit later

398
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: we have a happy ending that we've been waiting for

399
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: as Bingley returns and proposes to Jane and tells her

400
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: the truth of why he didn't see her and all

401
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: the things that had mistakenly happened, And that is soon

402
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: followed by Darcy proposing again to Elizabeth and this time

403
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: having a different reaction as well as the different approach,

404
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 2: and of course this shocks both her father and mother.

405
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: They're like what And soon they are married and live

406
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 2: happily ever after, with her father visiting Elizabeth and Darcy

407
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: often to get away from his family, and Elizabeth teaching

408
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 2: Georgiana to be a little shocking as she continues to

409
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: tease Darcy throughout their life, rest of their marriage and

410
00:23:43,280 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: life together the end. I love that ending. So in

411
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: the in the BBC series, they don't have that ending.

412
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: They just have them you know, driving away after their weddings,

413
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: so happy and finally kiss. Because they don't kiss. This

414
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 2: is kind of like a like a Korean drama, like

415
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: they don't kiss until they of course, to be fair,

416
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 2: it is like supposed to be based in that time,

417
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: they don't do that or dear. But in the book

418
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: you see a scene where she's teasing Darcy still and

419
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: the sisters just like blushing and shocked, but at the

420
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: same time like all loving the fact that she stands

421
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: up for herself essentially, and I love that scene. I

422
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: was like, that's such a great idea. And then also

423
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: we find out that Lydia and Wickham are not happy people,

424
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: but they're maintaining and often asking for money from them.

425
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: But we also don't see in the show where the

426
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: gardeners are so well respected. You get an inkling of it.

427
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 2: But in the book they really talk about how like

428
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: Darcy really likes them and realizes how upstanding these people

429
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: are and all they things. And I really like that

430
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: portion of the book. And I was like, oh, wish

431
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: there was a better way to interpret how good people

432
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: they are, because you don't really see that throughout. But yeah,

433
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: so that is the entirety of the book. To go

434
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: and watch a good adaptation. Go watch the BBC version, y'all.

435
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: We I was like, we should just do that as

436
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: our movie for this month.

437
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 2: That you were like that it's literally the same thing,

438
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 2: but like you should definitely watch it. Of course, there's

439
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: several several themes throughout the One of the biggest one

440
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: in this class uh. I think the constant back and

441
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: forth about status in class, whether it's about the minutes,

442
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: uh and their entailment. So we know if we find

443
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: out that level of like they're kind of lower on

444
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: the ranking because they don't have a son and so

445
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 2: as soon as the father dies, they're screwed, essentially. And

446
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: then we have the whole conversation a bit again about

447
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: the gardener's being shopkeepers or lawyers, that that's not well

448
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: received and as part of society, even how mister Lucas

449
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: Colonel I believe, who is a gentleman and in part

450
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: of society, is still looked down on because he was

451
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: not originally knighted, and so he was knighted after the fact,

452
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: and they still looked down on him. About that, you

453
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: see that conversation with the Bingleys, the sisters being very

454
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: to do about this, and how they really did look upon,

455
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: look down on the people of the country side, essentially

456
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: of the American country side, and they were not impressed.

457
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: Neither was Darcy, and he wasn't it, And about that entailment.

458
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: The mother was really upset and could not understand why

459
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: this could stand. Of course, her harping at her husband

460
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: who had nothing, he could do nothing about it wasn't helpful,

461
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: But she's right, who why why can't they stand up

462
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 2: against this? This is just absolutely unfair.

463
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 1: She is correct, she is correct, And that was one

464
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: of the interesting things which I think is going to

465
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: go really well with the the next theme we're going

466
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: to talk about. But it was interesting to read from

467
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: that time how important it was, you know, to get

468
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: to marry off your daughters to someone will off hopefully

469
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: or you know, the thread of like losing your property.

470
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: But it was also kind of funny, like with Collins,

471
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: He's like, I'll ask her. She said, no, all right,

472
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: I'll try again later. Okay, no, okay, I'll try you.

473
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: What do you say? Like it was kind of that

474
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: very economic part of marriage, what marriage used to be.

475
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: That we were seeing a lot right this.

476
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: Right, and then there was a quote in there that

477
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: we didn't talk about because we the y'all. The scene

478
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: between Lady Katherin de Burgh and Elizabeth Uh, when Lady

479
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: Katheryn comes and like tells her she forbids her is

480
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: a masterclass of like being able to stand up for

481
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 2: yourself and coming back. But at one point, like Katherine

482
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: does say, will the shades of Pemberley be thus polluted

483
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: by not only Elizabeth's stance in life, but also that

484
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: what has just happened between Lydia and Wickham? Because even

485
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: though everything kind of had been fixed, there's still a

486
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: bit of notoriety of what happened there, and the people

487
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: who knew about it know like this was not to

488
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: be had and this is definitely a no no. So

489
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: with that level of like that level of class, like

490
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: these are the people that you're with, these are the

491
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: people that you're associated with, which is a big conversation

492
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: that happens.

493
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: That was one of the reasons that it was so

494
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: Elizabeth was so upset when she heard it. It was

495
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: not only like, oh, I know Wickham and now my

496
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: sister's been drawn up in this. It was like, my

497
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: family is going to be associated with this, And that's

498
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: part of the reason why Darcy, despite hating Wickham, went

499
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: and tried to fix it, which in this case was

500
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: like Okay, you actually are going to have to get married.

501
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: But that was another instance of yeah, like the class

502
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: of it all being this is gonna really.

503
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: Bring us even lower, right like dess essentially, and then

504
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: of course another conversation with class is wealth. Wealth was

505
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: very very important, and they would compare who had the most,

506
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: essentially talking about King I think that's the girl that

507
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: Wickham goes after after he leaves Elizabeth because she had

508
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: she had inherited ten thousand pounds and that made her

509
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: very eligible and so like there's a line I think

510
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: they say about like, oh, yeah, so that is a

511
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: attribute indeed, like essentially like that is yes, yes, they

512
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: talk about the comparison to the fact that, yes, Bingley

513
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: has wealth, but Darcy has more wealth, like they have

514
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: a whole comparison of what that looks like. And honestly,

515
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: because Darcy and Bingley had so much wealth, they could

516
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: marry quote unquote someone who was less wealthy and less

517
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: u in standing in society, the Bennetts, even though they

518
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: were great.

519
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was interesting to see that the relationship

520
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: between Jane and Bingley because it sort of they sort

521
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: of just hit it off, yeah, pretty immediately, and the

522
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: mom was so happy about it. Missus Bennett was so

523
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: happy about it. She's like, ah, yes, it's gonna work.

524
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: But then you have like on Bingley's side, its sisters

525
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: being like no, no, yeah, even though they were so

526
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: they seemed like such a good match.

527
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, they initially liked Jane a lot, but they immediately said, unfortunately,

528
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: her conductions they're something to look at. And they all

529
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: were like no, no, no, no, no, even though they liked

530
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: Jane as a person, and they were like and yeah,

531
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: so that comes to our second theme, which is marriage.

532
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: Women must marry well or they are all doomed. So

533
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: at least one of them, as Elizabeth and Jane speak

534
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: it to each other, have to marry from because that

535
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: understanding is that they will take care of the rest

536
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: of the children and the mother when the father passes away,

537
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: with the assumption that the mother was going to live

538
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: outlive the father, which he, mister Bennett does say, I

539
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: might outlive you if we can just take that into consideration,

540
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: which is yeah, which apparently was a thing that there

541
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: was a lot of, like who's going to take care

542
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: of us? Who's going to take care of us? Someone

543
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: has to get married well, and you need to take

544
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: care of us, which again that didn't always happen. I

545
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: don't think, yeah, but I think they were given money

546
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: right to the family, like they were kind of giving

547
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: the dowry was from the woman though.

548
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean essentially women couldn't own property. Yeah, but

549
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: I think if like the man, they got married to

550
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: a wealthy man, then it's almost as if she gets

551
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: to keep the place. It's sort of like a I

552
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know, consulatory prig right, but it's not Yeah, I

553
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: mean it was really you were just counting on the

554
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: guide to actually give you any money a lot of

555
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: the time.

556
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: Right, And then we have with that alliances the word

557
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: fortunate alliance has been made or the phrase has been

558
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: made was floated about. We see that with Lucas's talking

559
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: about Charlotte getting married to mister Collins who is under

560
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: the patronage of Lady Catherine de Burgh, and finding like, Okay,

561
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: you have made a good choice here because these alliances

562
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: allow us better reputation and better society. I guess role

563
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: of women and being out. We have that whole conversation

564
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: and the fact that there was a conversation in which

565
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: the fact that Jane and Elizabeth were not married but

566
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: the younger sisters were out before they were married, and

567
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: how that was kind of scandalous.

568
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I thought that was interesting too, because Lydia

569
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: has this whole thing where she's like, what if I

570
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: get married first? Like she was very motivated, which is

571
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: the society she was raised and it makes sense, but

572
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: she was very motivated to be like I could be

573
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: the first one, right that gets married. It was like

574
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: a power.

575
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, she has more desire, like they desire her more

576
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: and sofore she takes that trump and married women outstrip

577
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: single women in general.

578
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: Right, And so she was like, really, I'm going to

579
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: go I'm going to do it first. And that's part

580
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: of why she went and made this pretty reckless decision

581
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: at a very young age.

582
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: Right. And I'm assuming, like this is assuming because it's

583
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: not a part of the book at all. The reason

584
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: she came out in society so quickly, it's because she

585
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: was a brat and wanted to be a part of

586
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: like balls as such, and made her parents let them

587
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: all come out, like she's she asked the youngest all

588
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: of them had to. That's what I'm assuming.

589
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it would also make sense that had a

590
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: certain point. One, it's just easier if you've got four daughters,

591
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: just let them all go. But also like if you

592
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: are we need to find somebody a man, somebody's got

593
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: to get married. We'll put them all out there on

594
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: the field and see if one of y'all.

595
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: Can givebody anybody. Yeah, and then that comes to that

596
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 2: whole competition and trying to get married quickly, the idea

597
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: of happiness and marriage or marriage and like a marriage

598
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: of love and money, And there's several quotes here, So

599
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: here's one. It says from Lizzie talking, I'm determined that

600
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: only the deepest love when me into matrimony. So I

601
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: shall end an old maid and teach your ten children

602
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: to embroader cushions and play their instruments very ill. So

603
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: the fact that she would not marry for money, that

604
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 2: she would rather be in love and there's no way

605
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: that she would actually get married, and the idea, and

606
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: I think that may minic Jane Austen's real sense of marriage,

607
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: that she would rather not than doing a loveless marriage,

608
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: which is understandable.

609
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, I don't know much about this as much

610
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: about you, for sure, but like it does feel even

611
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: for people now, even for me, like I feel for women,

612
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: marriage can be kind of a trap. I'm not saying

613
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: it always is, and I'm not saying it can't be

614
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: very healthy, but it does sometimes feel like you get

615
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: married and then you have to clean the house and

616
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: you have to do all like all these things come

617
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: with marriage for women that don't necessarily come with men, right,

618
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: And so to me, especially at this time when it

619
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: was you know, women couldn't really own property in most cases,

620
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: and there was all these expectations and all of that.

621
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: I can see why Jane Austin would have been like

622
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: this just seems like I can't do what I want right,

623
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: I can't like write the things I want or just

624
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: be who I am if I get married just for

625
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: this economic thing.

626
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: And you know, Austin doesn't even look at the dark side,

627
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: like she just looks at like this like boring and

628
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 2: being suck in the loveless marriage side, like of course

629
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: it entails everything else, but she doesn't look at like

630
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: the depth of like control and darkness and things that

631
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: were happening during that time and still actually that like

632
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: oh yeah, this is people suffering and in these situations

633
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 2: and domestic violence situations. So she didn't even talk about that, honestly,

634
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 2: in which Jane kind of references do anything rather than

635
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: marry without affection. And then they imply the mother and

636
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 2: the father that they see have married without affection, and

637
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 2: neither one of them want that. Neither one of them

638
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 2: want a marriage where one is condescending and the other

639
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: one is always complaining. So there's this level like back

640
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: and forth like yeah, they're the prime examples. I don't

641
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: think we've all been there of what not to have

642
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: in marriages or what they don't want to have in marriages.

643
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 2: And this was that moment of like seeing all of that,

644
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: and even the mother talks about the facts at one point,

645
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: like the fact that Jane Ann Bingley will be so

646
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: giving that they're going to run out of money and

647
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 2: Jay and they will be unhappy, and in which you

648
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: know or not that run out of money, that they

649
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: would be so kind that they will run out of

650
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: their good good will and kindness and their heart and

651
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 2: their love, and the mom's like, they have plenty of money,

652
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: they'll be happy forever. Like that's how one's the implication,

653
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: which is not again, that's not the level of marriage

654
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: that Jane or Elizabeth want in this way. And then

655
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: we do have one character Charlotte, Charlotte Lucas who talk

656
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: about the fact that she did not have the option

657
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: to have a choice either she was going to be

658
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: destitute and alone or she's going to have to settle.

659
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 2: So this line is in talking about trying to seduce

660
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 2: a man. This is trying to like trying to make

661
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: sure Elizabeth understands that Jane needs to show how much

662
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: she could be in love and there are and this

663
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: is there are very few who have hard enough to

664
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: be really in love without encouragement in that level, because

665
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 2: Jane was being too cautious according to Charlotte. And also, yeah,

666
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: Charlotte is the prime example of choosing marriage for contentment

667
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 2: and choosing what she can because she's described as being

668
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: also a bit plain. I think she's older, like mid twenties.

669
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, right, but that's apparently real too old, like

670
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: the little spinster level. And so she had to choose

671
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: mister Collins and the fact that like, yes, he's a

672
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 2: ridiculous dude who is sexist, misogynist, and just like dumb,

673
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: he's not smart. This speech is so good, she writes

674
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: so well, it's so funny that she knows what she's

675
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: getting into, but she knows that this is the best

676
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: option she has in order to live a more fulfilled

677
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 2: quote unquote life where she can be taken care of,

678
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 2: and that's what she says.

679
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting because Charlotte's and Elizabeth were

680
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: close friends. And then when Charlotte, after mister Collins had

681
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: proposed to Elizabeth and said, well, you say no now,

682
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: but I'll come back and forth. Oh my goodness, that

683
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: was really interesting to me because it was so reminiscent

684
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: of things I've had or guys are like, I come

685
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: back later, I could change your mind. It's like, oh

686
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: my gosh, it was happening all to me.

687
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: You're just teasing to make me.

688
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: The no means yes, right, But anyway, he does eventually

689
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: be He's like, okay, Elizabeth, no, but he goes to

690
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: Charlotte and Charlotte says yes, and Elizabeth and Charlotte. Elizabeth

691
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: is really concerned that she's kind of let down, but

692
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: Charlotte said yes, and she's concerned about how their relationship

693
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: will be moving forward, and Charlotte's kind of like, please

694
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: don't cut me out of your life. And Elizabeth does

695
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: go visit Charlotte and Lucas's. But it was interesting to

696
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: read the I thought there are different takes on Charlotte

697
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: being like, you know what, I have to do this

698
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth being so, I'm only going to marry to

699
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 1: Mary for love. But also we've talked about this before.

700
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: You have friends and they get married and they move away,

701
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: and you're kind of like, okay, that relationship.

702
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 2: Changes, right right, well, you know, and Charlotte knows this

703
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: is about a change her relations ship with Elizabeth. There's

704
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: several things here that is happening though, because Elizabeth had

705
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: put Jane put Charlotte on her level and they thought

706
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: she thought they were on the same page essentially, and

707
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 2: that that Charlotte has Charlotte wasn't married because she wouldn't

708
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: settle was the idea, when in actuality, from Charlotte's standpoint,

709
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: she's never got given the opportunity to to say yes.

710
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: And for Charlotte, she doesn't care. She's not a romantic.

711
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: She's like, I don't have these ideals like you. I

712
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 2: have not don't need all of that. I just need

713
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 2: to be no note that I'm going to be taken

714
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: care of and that I'm going to be okay, and

715
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: that he's not going to mistreat me as in like

716
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 2: abuse me, which was that conversation that happens. And then

717
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: Jane's being like, you need to be more understanding. This

718
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: is not the same place. And that's kind of where

719
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: the level like her prejudice, because if we have the characters,

720
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 2: Elizabeth has prejudiced and Darcy has the bride, and that's

721
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: the level of conversation we have in this and so

722
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 2: that actually really does show Elizabeth prejudice towards this ideal

723
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: of marriage and the fact that she judges her judges

724
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 2: Charlotte so harshly to that kind of like I can't

725
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: talk to her, I can't see her. She's changed for

726
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: me and I have like we've I think we've all

727
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 2: been there when people were like, why are you dating

728
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: that person? What reason? Like you know, and that's gonna

729
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: be like and I'm not coming around, not that you're

730
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 2: with that person. We've definitely seen those things happen and

731
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 2: then that conversation and kind of like modern age, but

732
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 2: the level of desperation that Charlotte felt is understandable during

733
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: that time. And so I felt like, even though I

734
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 2: love the character of Elizabeth, and I think Jane did

735
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 2: it on purpose, Jane Austin did it on purpose in

736
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 2: that making her show that this is a fault. This

737
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: is a giant fault that Elizabeth has where her prejudice

738
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 2: and judgment is a little too much.

739
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely thought it was the interaction when Lydia

740
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: came back to like Elizabeth was rightfully angry, don't get

741
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I thought it was really fascinating how

742
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: she was like, I have nothing to say right, you

743
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: could be gone right forever, Yes, both of you. Yes,

744
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: because I feel like some of us can we've experienced

745
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: that where you're just like, you've caused me so much drama, pain.

746
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: And in her mind she's cost her a huge relationship too.

747
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: At this point, she's thinking that Darcy is judging her

748
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 2: and doesn't want anything to do with her or family

749
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 2: because of what has happened, when in actuality, like there's

750
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 2: different things happening, but like, yeah, like if she definitely does.

751
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, she's met at Lydia for

752
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: her selfishness, which she knew was coming. She knew that

753
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: Lydia was selfish, and yeah, but the next thing was

754
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: prejudice as well. That you know. I said, let's talk

755
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: about first impressions, the name of the original book, and

756
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 2: how everyone disliked Darcy by judge Darcy because Darcy was

757
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: rude she was, and then but loved Wickham because Wickham

758
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: was entertaining. And then it turns out the opposite, like

759
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 2: one person has the good intentions and good goodness and

760
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 2: the other one only pretends to be good. We had

761
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: that level into that point that Elizabeth. It takes so

762
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: much for Elizabeth to change her mind. It takes like

763
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: giant stories, and she does not want to fact check anything.

764
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: She just how could you not believe this? Of course

765
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 2: he's telling the truth. The story is too precise because

766
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 2: she already had an idea about who Darcy.

767
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: Was right, and she wanted to to prove it right.

768
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: But it was the the dichotomy of like Jane being

769
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: so trusting right, oh so like, oh no, they would

770
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: never convince Bingley. Bingley's sisters convince him to go against

771
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 1: too much. But then you have Elizabeth who's like almost

772
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: too sick, right, Oh, I knew it all along. He

773
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: was a bad guy. It was really fun to see

774
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: them interact and have their conversations about where Jane's like, no,

775
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: that can't be Elizabeth like.

776
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 2: I mean, but I mean Elizabeth says that. At one point,

777
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: he's like, until I have your goodness, I'll never have

778
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 2: your happiness.

779
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: He's like, I can't understand how.

780
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 2: Jade and she is. And of course the pride bit

781
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 2: we know that it takes a long time because yeah,

782
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 2: Darcy's proposal real bad. The first one was real bad,

783
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 2: like insulting her in every way and then being shocked

784
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: when she says.

785
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, he's so taken aback, this could not be.

786
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: I'll give you I just can't. I just like relinted

787
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 2: to finally liking you even though everything about you is awful.

788
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: And he's given her like as the reader, you get

789
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: insights into his feelings, right, and as the reader you

790
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: kind of know where it's going. But he's really given

791
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: her no reason to.

792
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: Right and like he's too honest. He is way too

793
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 2: honest for this moment. Of course, he comes back around

794
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: with the fact that Lady de Burgh comes back and

795
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 2: first tells him, Oh, I'm going to tell him what

796
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: Elizabeth did to me being rude and standing up to me,

797
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 2: and that's going to change his mind because he loves

798
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 2: me so much and he's like, oh she does like

799
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 2: me still, let's go. It's that level. But yes, that

800
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: level of pride, and they finally kind of mesh together,

801
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 2: come together and that wonderful union where everything is happily

802
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 2: ever after and everybody has money, lots of money.

803
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: Yep, the end, everybody has money. Hey, she found the

804
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: love and the money.

805
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 2: That's pretty good, Like she finally found it and good

806
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: on her, good on her.

807
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we also didn't mention she's very good at

808
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: playing the piano.

809
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: No, she's kind of good.

810
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: Well. To me, it felt like he was entranced with

811
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: her skills, yes, which I find to be a common

812
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: trope in things.

813
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 2: So I think the way it's supposed to be is

814
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 2: that she's okay, but he loves it so much, right,

815
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,439
Speaker 2: and like she's like, yeah, I'm okay. I mean it's

816
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: not great, but I can play. And then like he's

817
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: just like she's the most amazing.

818
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: And there's a whole scene where Mary is playing and

819
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: she's doing terribly and doesn't get the message.

820
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 2: Oh that whole and they do it so well in

821
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 2: the BBC where everything's like just compacted and you just

822
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: feel the secondhand embarrassment because it's like echoed from Jane

823
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: Analyzabeth's perspective. They're just like, how do we stop this

824
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: train wreck? And they just can't and it just kind

825
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: of echoes in her head. Later on, after he proposes

826
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 2: and pretty much reminds her all these embarrassing things he witnessed,

827
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 2: she's like, ah, it's perfect.

828
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So a lot of awkward, relatable scenes.

829
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 2: Yes, So like these are the things that I love

830
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: in this book, and to me, This is how like

831
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 2: the BBC portrayed the characters, how I read them better

832
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: than the new version of condensed Karen Knightley version because

833
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 2: this whole like, I think both Yeah, both made sure

834
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: to have Darcy in like a wet shirt or like

835
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 2: at one point in time, because that's kind of the

836
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 2: infamous thing. I will say. When you start the BBC series,

837
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: it feels so over the top acting that it's a

838
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: little cringe. You're like, oh, well, why did I think

839
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 2: it was so much better? It gets better, they get better,

840
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: but then they also have like I know, the fantasy level,

841
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: but like the way they portray the father and the

842
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 2: mother characters really irritated me in the new one because

843
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 2: the father character is so like he looks like he's

844
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 2: gonna cry all the time, and he just looks so

845
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: weak and I'm like, that's not the character she built,

846
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 2: like she wanted him pretty much disinterested and just annoyed.

847
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: Uh So that's why I like, those characters are really

848
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 2: important to me, and I was like, they need to

849
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 2: be better. This needs to be better. Those are the

850
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: big big things that I didn't like. I didn't like

851
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 2: Karen night Lest Patrol Elizabeth. I did like the Jaine character.

852
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 2: Rosemand Pike did a great job with Jane.

853
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: Did be inaudible version anyway, that's wow. I love it.

854
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: Eighteen hours you.

855
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 2: Say, I don't know, I'm exaggerating. I don't know how

856
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 2: many hours, but it's like, for all at least eight

857
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: hours long. I think, Okay, wow, I buy Mike, just

858
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: put it on. Put in the background while you're doing

859
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: your fan fiction.

860
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: It would give me some inspiration for fans.

861
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 2: It's been owe to fan fiction and the origination of

862
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 2: fan fiction.

863
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: Austin Knights. Yeah, one of the first fan fiction writers

864
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: that we know. M hm.

865
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: And technically I guess like they're not fan fiction, but

866
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: the reimagining of it is kind of that level. And

867
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 2: I love every single one of them, essentially, except for

868
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: the Karen Knightley one.

869
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: We briefly talked about doing the zombies one yes.

870
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 2: Dude, which you know that's not necessarily a bad thing.

871
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: No, it is interesting that when zombies come in, the

872
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: dude comes in. Yeah, maybe in the future, there's a lot.

873
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: This was a I mean, I don't think this is

874
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: a surprise to anybody, but it was a hugely influential work. Unfortunately,

875
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: it seems Jane Austin didn't make a lot of money

876
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: from it, but it was It made such a big

877
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 1: impact and we're still seeing it and feeling it. People

878
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: still love it. There are tours that we are trying

879
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: to go on.

880
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 2: I really do want to go.

881
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: I was the whole time I was reading this halfside.

882
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: Like persuasions that makes you want to go to Bath.

883
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 2: I want to go to.

884
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: I did renew my passport yesterday.

885
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 2: Good.

886
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: I don't know when it will arrive though, because there's

887
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: a huge backlog, but yeah, when it comes, Samantha, I'm

888
