| This study explores Jane Austen’s renowned novel Pride and Prejudice and its film adaptations, focusing on five adaptations from the years 1940, 1979, 1995, 2005 and 2012. The study will concentrate on the literary and film analyses of Jane Austen’s novel but will also assess what has changed over time in the perception and understanding of the characters and plot, and how this reflects on the position of women in society. The primary focus will be on the heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, and the hero, Mr. Darcy, how their personas have evolved as literary figures in the critical reception of the novel and as a result how the expectations of the reading and viewing public are met and created by the contemporary film industry. The study is divided in to three parts, chronologically and according to type of film. The first part of this study will deal with the 1940 Hollywood film and adresses the feature of Jane Austen as a character. The Second part of the study will analyze mini-series adaptations, mainly the 1979 and the1995 BBC versions. The Third section will compare the most modern adaptations, the 2005 full feature film and the 2012 YouTube series, as well as the Jane Austen phenomenon with regards to other adaptations that are more loosely based on the novel, that have either borrowed characters from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice or proclaim to be continuations or sequels and thus develop story lines and themes from the novel. In the analysis of these phenomena theories of film criticism will have to be taken into account. |
