I Love Pride and Prejudice



Be it the book, TV series or movie- I love Pride and Prejudice. I know this is a shallow topic totally unrelated to any kind of adoption anything. I don't care. This is my blog and I will write what I want!

Yes- I am taking lessons from my 6 yr old daughter. I want what I want when I want it! Got it?

I have immersed myself in all things Austen as I usually do when I have "issues" to contemplate. Last time I made a huge decision about career and a life direction it was with Sense and Sensibility but now..... Pride and Prejudice has it. Or should I say Colin and Matthew have it.

I know this is an "old" discussion as the latest Pride and Prejudice movie came out in 2005. Again, I don't care.

Here was my dilemma. I LOVED the series Colin Firth was in. He was my Mr. Darcy. My husband whom I love with all my heart bought the one with Matthew Macfadyen in the lead role as Mr. Darcy. It took a while but I have accepted him. Embraced him. It is much like my love for my children. I love them each as much as the other yet I love them each differently because they are different people. Understand?

What is your opinion on the great Darcy debate?

ps- I still like Jennifer Ehle's portrayal of Elizabeth better. Hmmm perhaps I should watch the movie again..
