    adaptations to Austen have decided to downplay these themes‚ however‚ in exchange for playing up the romance. These films reveal the 20th century emphasis on romance at the cost of excluding the already established importance of self-knowledge.

    Assignment: _Write a review of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice film‚ (seen in class) comment on the cast‚ music‚ setting‚ wardrobe etc._ Generally speaking film adaptations of classic novels rarely ever prove superior or a match for the books on which they are based.

    Jane Austen‚ author of Pride and Prejudice‚ uses humour in her novel to maintain the interest of the reader. Some have said that Pride and Prejudice is a simple tale of love and marriage‚ but it is in fact far more complex.

Chiefly‚ she exaggerates the personalities of her characters‚
