The Elegance of Mr. Darcy.


The 1995 version of Jane Austen’s The Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite classic series of all time masterpieces. After coming across the BBC series, I revisited the world of Elizabeth Bennet and the irreplaceable Mr. Darcy and rediscovered an elegance in an era that I have relatively very little interest in and to desire to be fully immersed in the plots, settings, and unraveling of the serie's story. The film presents itself as a harmonious, elegant, and completely charming atmosphere. No action, little drama, and unexplainably I find myself fascinated and excited by the unraveling of the characters and story.

After watching the series, I thought extensively about Mr. Darcy’s character. A man who is often misunderstood, seen as having a strong and direct approach, and who’s real or inner side presents him to be one of the most charming, polite, elegant, respectable, and hospitable character ever. After learning to understand Mr. Darcy, I found myself with a great admiration for his character. Therefore, I have drawn the conclusion that there is a lot people can learn from Mr. Darcy. I particularly like the use of etiquette; respect (for others and for oneself), and the use of precise words (to be able to say anything in a way that is unhurtful, truthful, unpersonal, respectable, or with a great deal of sincerity).


In conclusion, if one is willing to watch the series with an open mindset and the ability to set action, drama, and any other content found in modern entertainment aside, I would heavily suggest watching this series.
