Awesome recs! I look forward to finding the time to read them all.

At no point does Darcy brood. In fact, he smiles quite a lot. He is not at all Brontëan. Similarly, Elizabeth is never secretly in love with him, until she actually is. And the Bennets are not poor by any stretch of the imagination. They have a butler, a housekeeper and other servants! They do not live with pigs and chickens!

I get the sense you are not a fan of the 2005 adaptation. I don't care for it myself and that's putting it very mildly.

heh. i'm not particularly a fan of any of the adaptations (they all get things wrong in their own ways), or the fanon they've produced, but the 2005 version is particularly unrecognisable. however, the brooding reference has much more to do with the 1995 mini-series. what can i say? i'm a purist. :)

p.s. your icon is made of win.

Oh, thanks for this. This looks like so much fun!

... How do I have no Pride and Prejudice icons? Oh well.

tree January 30 2012, 06:38:05 UTC

it is a truth universally acknowledged that you really must have at least one austen icon. ;)

enjoy!
