‘Pride and Prejudice’ is often considered to be the feminist novel. While that may be arguable, it is certainly one of the most popular works of fiction ever. The influence of Jane Austen’s 1813 novel is unmatched and need not be elucidated. There have been countless on-screen adaptations of the novel, with several of them able to match the breadth of the original work. One of the more prominent adaptations is certainly the 2005 one.

‘Pride and Prejudice’ revolves around the character of Elizabeth Bennett, who, in Georgian England, realizes the difference between being good at the outset and being actually good. Apart from that, it tackles various issues of class and gender roles. The movie also closely follows the love story between Bennett and Mr. Darcy: a single and rich man. However, Mr. Darcy faces a conflict when he finds himself falling for a woman below his class.

The character of Elizabeth Bennett is played by Keira Knightley, while Matthew Macfadyen’s essays are about Mr. Darcy. Rosamund Pike, on the other hand, plays Jane Bennett. Other cast members include Talulah Riley, Jena Malone, Donald Sutherland, and Carey Mulligan. ‘Pride and Prejudice’ was nominated for four Academy Awards and ended up grossing $121.6 million at the box office.
