I read P&P for the 5th time this July and still love it so much, and I also paid much more attention to the Gardners this time around. I read it for the first time at about 24, I think. I live the 1995 BBC version the most, but the movie with Kiera Knightly and Andrew MacFayden is also really good.
Such an interesting video! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just read the book for the first time last year. I was a big fan of the same version of the movie that you referenced. I can absolutely see myself rereading the book every year or so because I really loved it!
It's so fantastic! I'll have to make sure I reread it more often.
I didn't read P and P as a teen, I was in my late 20's. But I can relate how memories can be fuzzy because of watching adaptations. I have loved Agatha Christie since I was a kid, and I watched the whole series of Poirot starring David Suchet, it took 25 years for him to film the whole series of books and short stories, because it was a quarter of my life, I slowly believed I read more then I did. I was reading a biography and the summaries were so different then I remembered I realized that the books that were out of kilter was the adaptations and I had never read those books. At the time I was mad at myself for mixing it all up, but now I realize it is natural.
It's definitely natural to start mixing them up, especially with something like Christie's Poirot books. There are so many of them and the series took so long to film! I've never actually seen the series, just the most recent film of Murder on the Orient Express.
@@elizabethaliteraryprincess Not my favorite version at all. David Suchet's was very good but the brilliant one that is a favorite of mine is the 1974 version. It is a dazzling movie, that is the closest to the novel and with an amazing cast, director, costumes and sets. And the train really looks like Orient Express.
I reread P&P for the last time two years ago... I think? but I feel I need to give it a deep read because I've noticed many things I believe are in the book come actually from the 2005 film adaptation. I'm planning on doing a Jane Austen Project next year to read all her novels in publication order 😊
Oh, a Jane Austen Project sounds so fun!
