“The story of a woman who discovered the one person she can´t stare is the one man she may not be able to resist.”
“Jane Austen´s world wasn´t a large one, but she used it to make observations of human behavior that are as true today as they were then. She speaks to women in a way that perhaps men will never understand fully, wich is rather wonderful. She only wrote of her direct experience. And because she used, to a large degree, comic observation it makes her much more accesible that most classic writers.”
“If you will thank me, let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you.”
(“Pride and prejudice”, Chapter 58)
“Matthew Macfadyen finds a human dimension in the taciturn landowner Fitzwilliam Darcy that was missing in earlier, more conventionally heroic portrayals. Mr. Macfadyen’s portrayal of the character as a shy, awkward suitor whose seeming arrogance camouflages insecurity and deep sensitivity is more realistic.”
“Elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise.”

It´s a great love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, but underpinning it all is this kind of love that runs this family, that makes this family operate in such a wonderful, absurd, amusing and exciting way. There´s such a great mix of characters. They´re kind of irresistible.
“Society, as a whole, starts with the family. If the family unit is not treasured and nourished, you know, everything is gonna got to pot. So I think we should take a leaf out of their book”.
(Brenda Blethyn)
“Oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general. You never see a fault in anybody. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in your life.”
(“Pride and prejudice”, Chapter 4)
“My object then,” replied Darcy, “was to show you, by every civility in my power, that I was not so mean as to resent the past; and I hoped to obtain your forgiveness, to lessen your ill opinion, by letting you see that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes introduced themselves I can hardly tell, but I believe in about half an hour after I had seen you.”
(“Pride and prejudice”, Chapter 58)
