URGENT!! Read the following discussion:
EMILY:
I really liked Pride and Prejudice. It showed how powerful
women can be when they are smart and resourceful.
Elizabeth's self-confidence and ability to identify what she
wants was really impressive.
WILL:
I don't know. I thought it was kind of a girl's book – chick
lit. I found it a little boring. It was all about who liked one
another and who was going to get married. Kind of silly, I
thought
MACKENZIE:
I think that's actually what makes it so interesting. It was a time when women's roles were so limited, and they were totally dependent on men for their well-being. If you didn't marry well, you risked being penniless!
MARCO:
It's sort of like a 19th-century adventure novel, when you
put it that way. This was like the one central conflict of
their lives, and they had to win!
EMILY:
Right. And what was funny is that as a reader you can see
all along that Elizabeth and Darcy are just made for each
other, but Elizabeth has no idea. She thinks she hates him!
MACKENZIE:
One thing it shows us as modern readers is how lucky we
are to be able to depend on ourselves to make our own
fortunes, rather than having to rely on other people to fall
in love with us!
