Elizabeth Bennet being done with her family for 8 minutes

[@AkireMaru]

I can’t believe Darcy actually went through with the marriage with this level of embarrassment 😂. He must have truly loved her.

[@pollyparrot9447]

His Aunt, Lady Catherine, contributed a lot of cringe to the story. It was his turn to be embarrassed when he and Lizzy were in her company.

[@harringt100]

Plus, he probably really didn't need to see that much of her family. They were settled in a totally different part of England. Elizabeth was Mrs. Bennet's least favorite daughter. Her most-embarassing sister married a man who was keen to avoid Darcy.

[@anisaguine]

@@harringt100 Plus his wife's favourite sister married his best friend. They'd probably never have to see the family without them there too, and he could just throw Bingley at them to run interference.

[@raphaelledesma9393]

If we modern folk find Lizzy’s family embarrassing, then in the Regency era among the upper class this behavior was social suicide only salvaged by the fact that Jane is a great beauty and a polite lady while Lizzy is witty, pretty, and also mostly proper.

[@valiasa-di6hr]

I didn't see any "great beauty" and "prettiness", I saw two very ugly women playing Elizabeth and Jane. However I agree about the social suicide.

[@JayAr709]

Jane is not in the same league as Elizabeth Bennet.

[@raphaelledesma9393]

@@JayAr709 Hey, let’s not disparage Jane. She’s intelligent too just not a wit.

[@daniels7907]

This is actually why rural living suited Mrs. Bennet. In London society she would have been the subject of open scorn even worse than Caroline could dish out.

[@pativi6643]

@@JayAr709 Gross. They are both wonderful women, just both have different strenghts and weaknesses. Jane is intelligent, but keeps more of her thoughts to herself, and is much more kind and gentle, optimistic which may be a bit naive. The beauty of her character is quieter, often less appreciated, but she has an extremely strong moral spine, and an insight that Lizzie overlooks. Lizzie on the other side is more sharp in her intelligence, witty, and almost more cynical. These are certainly traits more appreciated in these days, but saying that they are not in the same league, despite both of them admiring themselves and deeply loving each other is bizzare.

I'm dying by 2nd embarrassment. Poor Lizzie and Jane

[@jessicaboyajian3542]

@@xyrnys1454 Agreed! I always had difficulty as a kid watching Lucille Ball in “I Love Lucy” because I was so embarrassed for her that I couldn’t view it as humor.

[@danawinsor1380]

It was a cute touch that Mary brought her music with her, and the way she marches to the pianoforte before Bingley could finish his sentence. Also Mr. Bennet's line, "Thank you Mary, you have delighted us long enough" is one of my favorites.

[@sims2lovealot]

The secondhand embarrassment I get from her family is on another level. Darcy had a point - although he shouldn't have made it during the proposal lol.

[@SmilingSas]

His name is David Bamber and his acting is truly masterfull, I believe that is why he was casted even when he is physically the opposite of how mr.Collins is described in the book. ‘Cause how do you make me cringe and say “oh no…” just by walking?? 😂

[@Goldenretrieverlife3484]

I could feel the tension of embarrassment from this whole scene. Even as a teenager I cringed the whole time I still cringe and hide behind my pillow 😂😅

[@Soccerlass87]

Poor Lizzie and Jane. As much as they love their family and are fiercely loyal to them, they can be quite an embarrassment, especially Mrs. Bennet whom you would think would be more mature. I also agree with some in the comments about Darcy having a point regarding the Bennet family behavior. As harsh as he was in saying this during the proposal, Darcy was giving a very blunt assessment of how awful the family's social behavior was. Even Lizzie, upon self-reflection, had to admit how embarrassing their behavior was. I do feel for Mary though. I think she has the most potential to become a more mature person if given the right guidance.

[@jwill6276]

Oh Lord. The mother is horrible by any era's standards. I cringe every time she opens her mouth.

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

Exactly why you *can't* say Darcy was wholly in the wrong. Her family is enough to make anyone sink down off their seat under the table.

[@pativi6643]

Yep, but perhaps he should not have rubbed it into a woman he loves after she turned down his proposal hahaha. Though if he didn't then Lizzie would not delivered that great speach about his flaws and set him on a journey of self-improvement.

[@InternetNonsense]

That's true, but it's hardly her fault, can't choose family. Not to mention his bombastic aunt with god complex is also quite embarrassing. Only difference is she has enough status to act that ridiculously.

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

@@InternetNonsense Darcy would partially agree I feel like, otherwise he never would've become smitten. Another part of him *did* extend the judgment to Elizabeth (Thinking of the "congratulate myself on the hope of relations so decidedly below my own" thing here.....she IS part of that family you've just insulted my guy), but that's not what I meant when I called him not partially wrong. He may have misread Jane egregiously but I think most people would see her the same way with a family like theirs. Elizabeth could've done more to distance the two of them from her mother and other sisters. But....I also get it. My sister is a total Lydia and I'd smack someone who insulted her. It's so hard to be the most reasonable one in your family and still love them.

3:10 Darcy was an arse too. Even if Mr. Colins broke the rules by talking to Mr. Darcy without having been introduced, Darcy could have dealt with it with more grace. Leaving someone while he it talking to you is extremely rude.

[@AkireMaru]

Did he actually walk away in the book? In the Kiera Knightly adaptation I remember he just kind of stood there, Elizabeth left and so it was impossible to see what happened after that

[@RebecaC12]

In the book he listens, nods and then leaves. Nothing quite so rude.

Exactly. There might have been social rules and there is courtesy.

NOT if you hadn’t been introduced. It is abominable rudeness to converse without an introduction. All Darcy could do was walk away.

[@glendodds3824]

Thanks for uploading these scenes from the best adaptation of P&P.

[@bookwyrm247]

From the book, I never thought Mary was _bad_ at singing and playing, just continually trying to show off above her skill level so sounding affected. So maybe faltering, but not off-key.

[@danawinsor1380]

The song Mary sings in this scene is "Ombra mai fu" from Handel's opera "Serse" (Xerxes). In the original, Serse sings to a tree, praising its vast beauties. Here are the original words with English translation: Ombra mai fu di vegetabile, cara ed amabile, soave più. Never was a shade of any plant dearer and more lovely, or more sweet.

[@kristinb5121]

It's really only the last scene that salvages Mrs. Bennett. She knew to give Mr. Bingley and Jane enough time to connect. Considering what children needed to endure back then, we're lucky that our reputations aren't dependent on our families.

They picked the absolute wrong actress for Caroline Bingely. This woman is downright hideous, so every interaction with Darcey seemed ridiculous and like she literally had no chance. In the book Caroline was a snobbish girl, but she was also described as very handsome/pretty. The 2006 adaption with Kiera had better casting from a looks perspective.

[@roelin360]

Hideous? That seems like a bit of an intense description for a woman who looks plain at worst lol. She looks fine to me.

[@OutOfAHatOffacc]

I must disagree with this thought, she looks so fine and based on what I have read in some comments she is the great great great (idk how many great) niece of Jane Austen! Well The google confirmed this too.. she's really splendid for me..
