You know what? I refuse to ever dance with you! IT WAS A BIG DEAL TO REFUSE TO DANCE WITH SOMEONE, BARRY. "The original chick-lit." I both agree (because obviously it is), and agree (because calling it chick lit is in no way an insult), but disagree (because it's also more). It's funny because Pride and Prejudice is in no way my favourite Austen, but I still do think it has a lot of merit. As a romance, it's done very well. The tension rises and rises and rises until the near breaking point before releasing, which is exciting to read.
When I read Jane Austen for the first time, I thought nothing happened, and I was bored. Today she is my favourite writer. It takes time. If you read it again later, you'll start to enjoy it more, I think. All the big events are psychological, the villains are cruel in a way that is very ordinary, through only a conversation, sometimes. And when there is kindness, it is the everyday kindness. The result is a very subtle beauty, but a very powerful one. You get punched in the guts without noticing it. For example, if Charlotte Brontë (I love her) tries to scare you, there will be a house on fire or a ghost or a mad woman, and it's great. But imagine how Mr Bennet was attracted by the beauty of his wife, only to realise later that she was actually stupid and vain, and how he was a prisoner of this marriage for his entire life, enduring the mindless constant chatter of someone who doesn't understand him, every single day. He is alone until death, right? It is a tragedy, but a very common one, and it terrifies me. It is more terrifying to me than the house on fire or the ghost. It is the same for everything in Austen novels. When someone is kind and clever, even in a simple way, all the story is slowly illuminated, and it feels like a miracle, I don't know. The thing is it seems like nothing at first. As Virginia Woolf said, "Jane Austen is the hardest to catch in the act of greatness". But I assure you she is the greatest. Please, you should try again someday :)
i 100% agree. Pride and Prejudice basically changed the entire coarse of literature. I am pretty young, 14, but it is extremely acknowledged in the book the feminism and marxism. I absolutely loved every page of it and wished it continued. Lizzy is the most amazing protagonist I have ever read from. Austen's novel is beautiful and the commentary and irony of the satire is just the right amount of history. It portrays to the future readers how things were and how things should change with the theme of marrying for love, not money or connections. Ugh, it was brillant!!
Austen was writing for her fellow ladies trying to show them to a. educate themselves and b. be smart enough to make good husband choices. The reality for women at the time was that they had to marry to live well. Austen saw that many young girls were brought up to care about superfluous things (like Lydia cares about bonnets) and these girls ended up in unhappy unions (like Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, mostly 'cuz their sensibilities don't match up; Mr. Bennet was swayed by Mrs. Bennet's pretty face. He didn't take the time to get to know her before they tied the knot). Elizabeth is pretty good at reading literature--she's expanded her mind--but she still needs to learn how to read people, specifically Mr. Wickham. After she learns the true nature of Wickham and the hidden character of Darcy, she's basically passed Austen's test of being an educated woman, and then she gets to live happily ever after with her perfect man. Of course, Austen writes a level playing field, and Darcy too has to improve himself before he gets the girl. Both parties are responsible for a healthy marriage. So not only is P&P a rom-com, it's also a moralistic exploration on what makes a healthy relationship, and overall, a healthy, thriving community.
The genius of Pride and Prejudice is not in the romance - that is the lowest common denominator. It is instead in the book’s perception and commentary. First of all, Austen was remarkably perceptive. Just consider the very title - ‘Pride and Prejudice’. That in itself suggests that this isn’t a typical, shallow chick lit; it isn’t called ‘Beautiful Love’ or ‘Wonderful Darcy’, but instead it is called something which concisely describes the nature of the characters, ‘Pride’ being Mr. Darcy and ‘Prejudice’ being Lizzie. How incredible that a spinster in the early 18th century made such intelligent observations on human nature. Secondly, the social commentary in Pride and Prejudice is amazing in its wit and sardonicism. It is clear that Austen completely despises the society she lives in, yet she doesn’t rant on the page, there is no anger in the narrative; instead she disguises the commentary in formal, saccharine, witty prose which makes it all the more compelling, and harrowing. The characters in the book are completely and utterly desperate: one wrong move and they’ll find themselves excluded from the ranks of nobility, and joining the poor. Take the ballroom scene at the beginning. It is like a cattle market - daughters being sold off the questionable men, and yet it is written in such an elegant way. It is pure literary genius. But perhaps to call Pride and Prejudice a commentary would be misleading - it is more of a showcase. Austen wanted to write about and expose the nature of the society she lived in. Why else start the book with “it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife”? Have you not considered how absurd that line is? It would be like opening a modern-day chick lit with “Everybody knows that the woman must change their name when they get married” - it would seem irrelevant and odd. Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice for the future. So that people could look back on the folly of her times. And that is why it is such an important book - I’d say far more important and sophisticated than Jane Eyre - because of the historical context, the intelligence of the narrative, and certainly not the love.
wow! I am not very well versed with 'literature'. But I want to be! I tried listening to the book but was not able to cope up with it, hence watched the movie. I hav e not read the book but your incredibly intelligent views have impressed me so much and it will really help me to understand the book properly. could u suggest some 'nice' and 'easy' books. AGain! I really appreciate your knowledge. you must be a great 'literature lover' . THnx or reading. (17yrs old girl from india)

You are just the best book commentator EVER. I mean, you are totally honest and do not go with what the majority is saying. If a book sucks, you would say it instead of sugarcoating it just for the people. The world needs more people like YOU.
Charlotte Bronte would have loved you. She hated JA with a passion. Yes, i find that JA novels lacks passion and poetry in many of her main characters, but her side characters are great to me :) Love both authors :)
It's not the best idea to read Jane Austen with on expectations set based on Charlotte Bronte. They key ingredient in Austen's writing is the comedy and the social commentary. With her, one is always in danger of taking things too seriously.
I think you should not be so proud and prejudiced as to say things like "I did't like these parts since I'm male,"and "Women behave in this and that way". Just my thoughts ;)
I want to say at the very beginning I am not an english native (english is my second language) BUT I read English literature, I love English Classics, and some of them (like Charles Dickens and especially Charlotte Bronte) to me, are easier to read and understand it from the first, but I found Jane Austen to be hard to understand at the first reading (as I said might be different for all of you who are english speakers). The only Austen novels I read in my native language (romanian) was Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park, (I was about 15 or 16) but to tell you the truth I did not get much from them (as I said, even in my language). But I watched the movies and was intrigued and read the books again, few times (in English- nothing is like reading the original). I have to say that the more I read the more I appreciate Jane Austen's genius. And now Pride and Prejudice is my absolute favorite novel and I love all the other novels. I am the type of person who likes diversity and I know that different writers have different styles and I like to read as many as I can, I appreciate everything I read for what it is, not trying to compare a writer or a novel with another.
I totally agree with you. I read Pride and Prejudice first and though I liked it, it didn't blow me away by any means. Then I read Jane Eyre, and it is now my favorite book.
Subbed. Very funny yet through analysis :) I agree with you, but I think what modern day fans love most about pride and prejudice is the film adaptation or the miniseries, the book itself isn't romantic much and passionate like Jane Eyre, which was a complete masterpiece. But I still love pride and prejudice, it and Jane Eyre tie as my favourite love stories. Also, it's nice to know that a guy appreciates Jane Eyre as much as you do! I hate to be stereotypical, but I know no other male who 'flew through it' and found it brilliant :)
I read Jane Eyre and really liked it!! Especially around the middle to end. I recently started reading Pride and Prejudice and maybe this is just me but it seems really slow.
Jane Eyre and Pride & Prejudice are my top favorite novels and I think you gave a pretty solid review. I love Eyre for the drama and how strong Jane is throughout the book, but it's always nice to go back to some nice, somewhat humorous, romance when it comes to P&P. I'd love to see a review of Emma by Jane Austen. That book makes me angry.
personally, i liked pride and prejudice better than jane eyre. maybe because of the movie adaptations, and maybe because i was a kid when i first (and the only time) read Jane Eyre, but i found it hard to understand or grasp the concept ... and that colin firth and girls going "OH MR DARCY"... it really got me XD
I always felt that Jane Austin was over rated, yet, felt scared to say so.( especially being female) , I'm so happy to find someone who agrees with me. The Bronte sisters are such better writers. Austens' characters are silly girls,where The Bronte's characters are complex,thinking, women. You are wise beyond your years ! Thanks for your great vlogs !
your "book review" on the help, inspired me to read it. I'm only on chapter 3 though Lol i'm a very slow reader but i really enjoyed chapter 2 'Minney' so far that is my favorite chapter Lol
I think it is way more easy to read it after seen the movie or the mini series, it helps you a lot to remember the characters. At least, I did it that way and it works!
I lauhged so hard I snorted. Emma is my favorite Austen .If you found P&P confusing don't try reading Lady Susan. I literally did have to write a character list for myself. It's too much like Evangelina.
Jane Austen's popular books (e.g. Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and P&P) are my least favorite works of hers. Whereas those not-so-known (Persausion and Northanger Abbey) are my top two Austen novels.
I preferred Sense and Sensibility to Pride and Prejudice... there are as you say way too many peoples names in the book at times its like a register... I found it a bit on the boring side too so your not alone there :) Great review Barry :)
Isn't it just escapist stuff like Cinderella? I found P & P rather like a glorified Mills and Boon. As for too many characters, etc, I suppose people, back then, had more time to spend reading and using their own imaginations to flesh out characters. I noticed in the BBC TV production that the refined Bennet sisters pick flowers and berries while the servants carry heavy buckets around and do the hard work. A day's scrubbing? The worst thing that can happen to a Bennet sister is to be slighted!
Hoenstly i did the exact same thing (reading jane eyre, loving it, then reading pride and prejudice) while having the exact motive (thinking i would like it) and got the same result (finding it boring) no lie
You should really read Persuasion by Jane Austen, it shows a much more mature Austen, a million times better than Pride and Prejudice. Persuasion is leabhar iontach.
You're not alone. I wanted to read it, couldn't get past page 100 without wanting to fall asleep. With EVERYTHING to remember and the simple plot line of "wanting to marry the daughters off" I was just like kill...me...now!
To answer your first question, no it's not just the whole male versus female thing--as a female, I don't much get the appeal of the book either. Reading it, I just found it so gossipy (I always feel like I'm back in middle school reading this book), I didn't like Mr. Darcy (even after the revelations); however, I do see the merit in reading about how social/class and gender differences played out, so... But yeah. I find the romance (which I think ppl tend to focus way too much on) overrated, but it's an important commentary of the time.
Props to you for mentioning--and even knowing--Collin Firth!! (SPOILER ALERT) With all respect to the book, I was very disappointed with the lack of a proposal scene. I mean, really, you spend so much time on working up to it and you don't even get the scene. Just people talking about it.
Jane Austen's fictional mothers tend to be nerve wrecking and clueless creatures. Couldn't have someone make them walk the board from the first chapter? Even better the first paragraph.

As a dude, I have to say, fuck yeah. It's a lesson that perfectly applies to modern society (specially in Mexico, where I live)

It's not about you being male that you didn't love pride and prejudice. After all, you loved Jane Eyre :)
The male characters in Jane eyre are actually interesting though.
Charlotte Bronte would have loved you. She hated JA with a passion. Yes, i find that JA novels lacks passion and poetry in many of her main characters, but her side characters are great to me :) Love both authors :)

THANK YOU. I felt like I was the only person in the entire universe who doesn't think that Pride & Prejudice is literature's greatest gift to mankind.
Claire Duggins Yes, indeed. A bit of criticism for a change.
I'm a girl and I despised this book
I think you should not be so proud and prejudiced as to say things like "I did't like these parts since I'm male,"and "Women behave in this and that way". Just my thoughts ;)

I totally agree with you. I read Pride and Prejudice first and though I liked it, it didn't blow me away by any means. Then I read Jane Eyre, and it is now my favorite book.

THANKS for saying there are too ooooooo many characters
Persuasion is the best in my opinion. I liked P&P until I read Northanger and persuasion.
+Hannah Griffin Try Emma. I've read them all and its my favorite.
If you're a fan of web series, Hank Green and Bernie Su developed an amazingly humorous adaptation of P & P. the tubes/LizzieBennet

I am a 40s Asian woman and didnt enjoy this one and other Jane Austin's overall while loving jane eyre,little women, Anne of green gable..
We share the same criticisms. I personally find the writing style/prose to be the only engaging aspect of this novel.
I preferred Sense and Sensibility to Pride and Prejudice... there are as you say way too many peoples names in the book at times its like a register... I found it a bit on the boring side too so your not alone there :)
Great review Barry :)

You are fantastic!!!!!! I just love your reviews 🤗🤗🤗
YES. I was more harsh than you but my thoughts were very similar haha.
"An angel gets it's wings" That scares the hell out of the Whovian in me!
You're so right! Jane Eyre is amazing!
Yeah. I'm a girl. I thought pride and prejudice was kinda boring as well. It was okay.
Props to you for mentioning--and even knowing--Collin Firth!! (SPOILER ALERT) With all respect to the book, I was very disappointed with the lack of a proposal scene. I mean, really, you spend so much time on working up to it and you don't even get the scene. Just people talking about it.
You should read Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy!!!
You know what? my friends and I fell asleep to Pride and Prejudice, but I do remember a few of them saying, "Oohhh, Mr. Darcy." XD
I know this is not related to the content of the video but you sound a lot like Saoirse Ronan?!
I am a woman and was disappointed as well ☺️
Good thing I'm wearing my Apple Bottom jeans.
How dare you?
is this a review or a burn
THANK YOU!!!
Pride and Prejudice is amazing! Just don't read it straight after Jane Eyre. That's just not fair.
Ok
Just subscribed.. u r great thankx
Oh god! i totally agree with you.it's classic and...yeah,i found it boring! (:
I completely agree - after Jane Eyre, P&P pales. Boring, too many characters, and far too many bonnets.
Ack! You dropped a book! On purpose! (Searching for my smelling salts.)
Oh my goodness your voice got low.
I agree with everything in this video. Jane eyre is soooo much better!
🇧🇷😁 nice to meet you
Yeah it was pretty average
You're pretty funny.
I laughed so hard when he said that. Hahaha
Pride and Prejudice *book is shit*
Pride and Prejudice *movie was good*
