This is one of my favorite addictions...Jane Austen in any and all forms. Love the book, so fun to reread and try to understand the language of the day. Love the BBC version with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. Completely adore Matthew McFayden and Keira Knightly in the movie made about 4 years ago. I have watched and rewatched and discussed various passages so often that my children KNOW the story by heart. Even Avery, who hasn't actually sat through an entire viewing, knows the deal. Abby truly appreciates the story. Alyssa, well she tolerates me addiction and it is just a part of the fabric of her consciousness.
The story is so perfect and has enough twists and turns to keep it all interesting. Although I am truly only interested in the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Well, aren't we all. They are both such passionate characters. I wish I could be so eloquently outspoken as Miss Elizabeth. She takes sarcasm to a level not often seen. I am sure that too often my sarcastic remarks become crass and sound harsh, not funny at all.
And there is the undeniable fact the Mr. Darcy loves her so.
