There's a lot of interesting stuff to talk about in the last three episodes of Pride and Prejudice (1995). To take a sort of different approach, I'm going to use this blog post to talk about the elements that were not represented in the original text. The environment and set construction of this miniseries was pretty interesting, and I found that they were surprisingly accurate to what I had pictured in my head. The Bennett house was, in my opinion, portrayed on film a bit nicer than I had assumed it would look based on the book. I don't really know why but I imagined it to look like a lower class of home than it was actually represented to be. I assumed the house would be much smaller, older, and less nicely furnished. I also imagined the pemberly house being a bit smaller and with less windows. The lack of decorations and scenery was sort of surprising.
(Also I realize not all of this is super pertinent to the first half of the miniseries, I watched them all during the same weekend)
1. Does the miniseries portray the Bennett family in a higher class structure than the novel?
2. If so, to what degree?
