Abstract
A comparative study of the opening scene of Pride and Prejudice; based on the book published in 1873 and the film released in 2005.
A visual presentation of a literary work such as Pride and Prejudice and especially the opening scene may lead the audience to read the novel and introduce the viewer to high culture through its popularization. If it is not the case, the visual presentation of such a
literary work at least displays cultural knowledge [...]. On the opposite, the adaptation also allows people inclined to focus on elitist culture to be introduced to popular culture via a democratized adaptation.
Jane Austen, 1873. (1994)
Joe Wright, 2005
