A Scalding Hot Pride & Prejudice Take

It is not polished up yet, (it has no background music, for example) but I don't know if it's going to be monetisable on YouTube in its currents state because of how many clips there are.
Please enjoy the We Don't Need To Worry About DMCA Takedowns version of the video, and hopefully I will not have to change it too much to make it ad safe for YouTube!
$5+ Patrons, I will see you on Saturday, look out for a livestream link later this week! :)

It sadly took me quite some time to take half an hour to listen to this, but I always love listening to you on things I know quite well, because you always have something I've never thought of before. You inspired a P&P discussion after church yesterday, and so thank you for an extra good time.

2024-10-07 14:38:13 +0000 UTCCaroline may well be MVP, but Lady Catherine de Bourgh's attempt to prevent a possible match between Darcy and Elizabeth was "shot of the match", as it were. As Darcy put it: "It taught me to hope, as I had scarcely ever allowed myself to hope before. I knew enough of your disposition to be certain that, had you been absolutely, irrevocably decided against me, you would have acknowledged it to Lady Catherine, frankly and openly."

2024-09-20 00:03:40 +0000 UTCThanks of mentioning the Rosings' Piano scene. I have felt for some time that it is an important watershed of the book. Up to that time, Lizzy never failed to sass Darcy whenever she met him. She delivered zing after zing aimed directly at him. And, as you pointed out, she did the same during this entire scene. And then Darcy made the comment, "We neither of us perform to strangers.” After that, from this point to the end of the novel Elizabeth launches not one single zing towards Darcy, even during the unexpected tête-à-tête the following day. She did tease him after they were engaged, but those are loving shots, not antagonistic.

2024-09-19 19:54:31 +0000 UTCA new hot take on a book that is 211 years old do not come along often. But I will actively look for this trope in the future as other authors are bound to have borrowed it for their own purposes.

2024-09-19 07:46:38 +0000 UTCIt was also a rotten day for me. I think this video was the only thing that made me smile yesterday.

2024-09-18 15:02:01 +0000 UTC"If my appearance changes, even drastically throughout the video..." I was disappointed not to get a succession of increasingly ludicrous cameos with voice overs. 25:52 - "Maybe if I dress as 'Santa's little helper' I'll get his attention." - Well I supposed nothing else has worked you so might as well try (apparently sitting on frogs also works).

2024-09-18 09:52:47 +0000 UTCI am not a fan of Pride and Prejudice in general, I tried to read it and found the prose so stiff and stilited as to be unreadable. But I do love when a character is their own worst enemy, so I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

(Those not getting that aren't old, congrats) Very convincingly argued, actually I started liking Caroline more with the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies so it's good to see I was actually getting the point for once. Rotten day, thank you for 34 minutes and 15 seconds when I could smile. Be interesting to see the final version.

2024-09-17 23:18:27 +0000 UTCI am *definitely* your kind of weirdo. 'Pride and Prejudice' has long been my favorite novel, hands down. I first fell in love with it in the 1970's, and it is a love that has never died. I usually read it at least once every year. Excellent analysis hitting almost all my favorite bits. I will call attention to one little subtlety that seems to fly over the heads of most readers -- at least most commentators -- that I absolutely love. In Chapter VIII, Miss Bingley attempts to set Darcy to thinking of her by comparing herself to his sister, but Darcy ends up comparing his sister to Elizabeth instead. “Is Miss Darcy much grown since the spring?” said Miss Bingley: “will she be as tall as I am?” [Darcy replies:] “I think she will. She is now about Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s height, or rather taller.” As I said, I love this little bit of dialogue -- Caroline foiled again. :)
