Colin Firth as Mr Darcy in the BBC version is the best! "In vain I have struggled ~ it will not do! My feelings will not be repressed ~ You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." Mr Darcy ~ To Miss Bennets delight, Darcy had been hiding his affection. When he could no longer sleep for want of her, he raced to meet her and blurt out his desire to be near her always. Who could refuse such a proposal whilst gazing into his face!
Mr Darcy please, could you repeat your meaning in a word? Was it the call of love that kept you awake? Are you certain, there is no mistake? What it is about Miss Bennert, Jane, or Barbara that continues to delight, amuse, console and provoke Mr Darcy and the next generations?
Perhaps it is our mutual serial crushes on most of Austen's men, or perhaps it encourages us to celebrate our belief in true love? The pure genius of Pride and Prejudice as a divine comedy of love ~ lends us all a secret desire to share an oral reading of our kindred prose over tea with an audience that radiates appreciation of the pen. Men do respond differently than women to Austen's rip of ink ~ but alas we all agree that there is much to be admired above the empire dresses that our Divine Jane wore. In the 1800's women were rarely published or thought educated adequately to do so. After a few cultured men read Sense and Sensibility, these few were launched into boasting of her keen observations of the most absurd societal rituals.
The belief soon emerged that by reading Austen ~ One had a respected taste and cunning of intellect. A few opportunists arranged tours of "Austen Land". Two distinct groups of fans emerged; those who ‘were keen to celebrate Austen’s mental distinctiveness and Artistry and those who ‘took comfort in such an artist being just like the rest of us‘. The BBC honored Jane Austen with a biographical film titled in the above photo. Worth a watch by any true fan of Jane.
