B. Analyze and evaluate the stories then give opinions that actively support their ideas.
Written story: The main plot of Elizabeth's path to marriage intersects with subplots about other female characters' love lives.
The plot structure is also shaped by its volume division. Initially, Pride and Prejudice was published in three volumes. The first
volume's story revolves around Jane's attraction to Bingley, with Elizabeth's interactions with Darcy and his gradual attraction
to her serving as secondary incidents. The main conflict in this first section of the novel is whether Jane and Bingley will be
able to marry, as Darcy and Bingley's sisters appear to be determined to keep them apart. Another conflict arises when Mr.
Collins begins to pursue Elizabeth, forcing her to reject him. The initial conflict between these two is resolved at the end of
Volume 1, when Mr. Collins finally accepts defeat, marries Charlotte Lucas, and leaves the Bingley Netherfield household to
return to London. This moment in the story marks the lowest point, as none of the Bennett sisters are very likely to marry and
most appear to marry for money and status.
Film adaptation: Jane Austen's 1813 classic novel Pride and Prejudice abide made big screen in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation.
The film is full of romance interspersed with humor and intelligent dialogue to keep audiences engaged. Despite its alluring
plot and well-developed characters, the film has one unique series problem, and that is its ridiculously modern approach.
While acceptable in the setting, it remains historically inaccurate. It also did not adequately reflect the customs of the time.
The film's casting did a great job of portraying all the characters and supporting the novel. It's no surprise that things have
changed since Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice. In the 2005 adaptation, this re-creation was not given the justice it
deserves.

C. Explain the differences and the similarities of both the stories.
There are differences in this film beyond dialogue. In this film, Elizabeth hides her secret from her family and distances
herself from her older sister Jane. This differs from the book in that Elizabeth is frustrated by the events surrounding her
family, but never keeps her secret from her family. Even after the difficult events, she tells her sister I confide. The film also
portrays Mr. Bennett as a more warm and caring father than in the book. His role in a family tragedy caused by spending
money on the wrong things is downplayed. His relationship with his wife is more endearing in the film. However, the film also
makes Bennett look poorer than in the book. Elizabeth also looks very brave and impatient in the film, she never yells at her
parents in her book.

main conflict revolves around her struggle to find a compatible husband despite the obstacles posed by both social conventions

marriage. These antagonists can be divided into two groups. The first is a character who threatens her future happiness for
Elizabeth by trying to convince her to marry the wrong man. These include Mrs. Bennett (who doesn't understand the type of
marriage her daughter wants and feels Elizabeth needs to lower her standards) and Mr. Collins (who wants to accept a
marriage that will never satisfy Elizabeth). trying to persuade). Her second group of antagonists are those who try to prevent
the marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy, particularly Miss Bingley and Lady Catherine de Berg. There are times when Elizabeth
acts as her own enemy. Her stubbornness and her inability to understand that Darcy would be a good match for her keep her
from her goal of happiness.
