Pride and Prejudice/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In the 2003 Latter-Day version of Pride and Prejudice, Darcy is the only character that remains British - with a Cool Car and accompanying guitar riff that James Bond would envy. See in the first minute here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWwUjB6pXPM
  • The way Elizabeth handles Lady Catherine when the latter confronts her on the rumors that Elizabeth and Darcy are engaged.
  • Elizabeth's glorious rejection of Darcy's first marriage proposal.
  • Darcy laying the smackdown on a snide Caroline Bingley when she insults Elizabeth, informing her in the iciest manner imaginable that while he merely considered Elizabeth 'pretty' when he first knew her, it "has been many months" since he has "considered [Elizabeth] one of the handsomest women of [his] acquaintance." He leaves no room for doubt that Caroline herself doesn't share the honour.
