I've never been irked by more modern renderings of classic lines and characters, providing that they keep the same essence of the line and character.<BR/><BR/>I think the lines of Lizzy and Charlotte put a weird twist on the characters that I didn't see in the books. Lizzy's: "You can't make me," as well as her: "Why don't you just leave me alone!" seemed Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297167286490109077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219894793257558801.post-47965381667902267062008-03-18T08:36:00.000-05:002008-03-18T08:36:00.000-05:00No, I'm delighted by your long comment!

This is exactly the sort of discussion I want to encourage.<BR/><BR/>I think the two lines you mention actually really help bring the emotion home to the modern audience. A classic is a classic because it can relate to us 50 years after it's been written, and obviously we can all still relate to Austen. The problem is that the formality of her writing makesElenatintilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07525692830610030540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219894793257558801.post-33064396076159065992008-03-17T22:38:00.000-05:002008-03-17T22:38:00.000-05:00I'm very much in agreement with you about Jane.

While I like the A&E Jane as an actress, every time someone commented that she was prettier than Lizzy, my eyebrows went up. 2005 Jane is an awesome actress (we also love her in <I>Wives and Daughters</I>), and she also pulls the role off better looks-wise. I just wish they'd had her hair a bit neater!

I know that when I was in middle school and junior high, the A&E version was beyond popular with my friends. They could practically recite the episodes by heart. To this day my friend Kaela can't see how Matthew McFayden could hold a candle to Colin Firth in the role of Mr. Darcy. Firth is her Darcy.
