Pride and Prejudice

[Bewlay Bros.]

My viewing pleasure for this evening will be Matthew Pinsent on "Who do You Think You Are" followed by "Bride and Prejudice". All the TV guide says is it is based on "Pride and Prejudice", hence bride is a mere paradoxical word.

The thing is I have never read nor seen a production of Pride and Predjudice so was wonderring if anybody, probably a lady but I may be wrong, can give me a short paragraph (without the ending!!!) of what it is about.

Thank you.

Sorry minter, should have told you to read the synopsis

[Bewlay Bros.]

Lambert, with respect I have not done any searches nor will open any links because I do not want to know the ending.

All I want is a synoptic detail sans ending.

[4GS]

Don't read the ending then!

girl likes man but man is a bit stuffy. Man then likes girl but girl thinks he is too stuffy. Man and girl have a few errors where she likes him and he likes her but never at the same time. Then they like each other at the same time

Wardy - Bride and Prejudice is great fun BUT I absolutely insist you get a DVD of the BBC production starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, it's true to the book and wonderful and I think you'd like Miss Elizabeth Bennett, she's your sort of girl! Mr Hellyon doesn't do romantic films but he absolutely loved it.
Even more to the point you really should read Jane Austen, I often think it a shame they are most often described as 'romances', which they are but they are also beautifully written witty books with very acute observations of people and how they behave, amazingly still accurate 200 years later, people don't change much.
Finally any lady will be very impressed with any man who has read Jane Austen.
