@XXsmswacXX Actually, in those times I don't think it was so much a matter of love as "marrying well". Women were expected to marry someone at least equal to or higher than their social "station". I don't mean to burst your bubble or anything, because it seems like a nice idea, and this is a beautiful story and film, it's just not realistic :)

@XXsmswacXX no obviously it wasn't because her friend married someone she didn't love. and her mother wanted her to mary that man she didn't care for, knowing she wanted mr. darcy

Many marriages were loveless, and plagued by adultery and domestic abuse. Not to mention a man of such high rank would almost never marry a woman of such inferior birth. It would simply be too much of a social stigma upon the family name which mattered above all else to the aristocracy.
Jane Austin created a dream with her work. Watch the movies about her life - she never did marry =) Such is sometimes the fate of a romantic.

I love this movie, and book, and I also agree wholeheartedly about the beauty of the 1800s society. I can relate to the LiketheHylianHero poster in saying that I often wished to be born then. The European language and manner were, values, culture... are irreplaceable However, the women's position was far from what these movies and romantic novels portray. Very rarely did they have the luxury of marrying for love, and most of the marriages were arranged based on fortunes and family connections

@HeyRuka You're absolutely right. What has happened to society?
-
@LinktheHylianHero Not just the men. Women were beautiful, the way they dressed and wore their hair. The way they carried themselves with dignity. They took pride in being feminine and beautiful. Their beauty was their empowerment. They didn't need feminism. They still accomplished many things, were very knowledgeable of the world, cultured and talented, and yet they still held their husbands and families above all else.

me too ^^
it is good that we should possess feminism but on the other hand we have lost the passionate love between two binary sexes.
ıf we meet somebody for their body then we should forget about immortal romantic love.of course! sex is vital component of love but if we dont put love on the initial side then we can never get the taste of real love.
dont you think we have lost a gentleman manner?

i think my favorite part is the beginning. It's so intense and passionate. I sometimes wish I could be born in those times. They were simpler, and classier, and it wasn't all about sex. It was about true, innocent love.
