As someone watching this scene for the millionth time, I absolutely love how flawed Lizzy is. The reason why we love her is that she's sassy, elegant, well-mannered but doesn't hesitate to speak her mind. However, she is not that perfect character. Here she doesn't surprise everyone by proving herself in everything even though she comes from a middle class family. She's not perfect at music or fine arts. She loves reading books, and learning or teaching, enjoys talking to people and spend time with them, but she's not talented in everything. This is so much relatable for a female character. Some classical female characters are depicted as talented and perfect in everything, however they are so weak when it comes to defending themselves or just being honest. Lizzy is such a beautiful character and I love every bit of her scenes.

Yes, Lizzy is not perfect; this is very astute analysis. Note that Georgiana _is_ held up as such a paragon (though whether she merits it in fact is not 100 per cent clear). Still, a full on female paragon was considered rare even by the Darcy crowd. Darcy knew of no more than six paragons and the Bingley sisters talked about them as real, if rare people. Lizzy quite rightly says that no such women actually existed. It's part of Austen's genius, because there is little doubt that Darcy, at least, is being sincere if unaware that he has not actually met such women even if he thinks he has. This satirizes what probably were real conversations among early 18th century gentry; especially the "upper" portions that probably puffed themselves up beyond their actual deserts; in Darcy's case, sincerely and unconsciously. (I even wonder, as I type this, as to whether Darcy saw the justice of Lizzy's remark and began to reevaluate what an ideal woman might _actually_ be like -- it would be within Austen's powers to have the exchange do double duty after all).

Head-on collision of the two worst actresses in modern cinema. Neither seem to have read the novel and it probably wouldn't have made much difference if they had. They were intent on producing a farce and they succeeded spectacularly.

Lady Catherine' behaviour depicted the very idea of room reading and making someone uncomfortable through embarrassing comments and judgment, the very prejudice that Darcy constructed about Elizabeth's mother through their first meeting. Chivalry was missing even from the class he himself belonged, the scene depicted that very fluently

5:08 Charlotte's genuine gratitude at the "kindness" 😓

No matter which adaptation of P and P I come across, I always look forward to this scene because it shows Lizzie at possibly her wittiest. She knows exactly what to say and when to say it without going off a 'improper ledge' whilst still giving her opinions decidedly as Lady Catherine says, and toes that line marvelously :):)

@@Kermit_T_Frog Indeed. I have always been intrigued by this facet of Lizzie's character. She should have been overawed by her social "betters" or at least feigned it well, but she wasn't and didn't. It was, in a strange way, a kind of foreshadowing. She was destined to marry "above her station" and somehow, rejecting Collins (a _very_ brave move in her circumstances) and not being overborne by Lady Catherine, she showed, however unwittingly, who she was going to become, be it with Darcy or someone else. Consider this: Rejecting Collins could have easily subjected her and the family to privation and genteel poverty had her farther died. That did happen and not just in Austen's fiction.

A great scene. Austen doesn't just show us that Lady Catherine is arrogant and a snob. Despite her upper-class education under a governess, Lady Catherine is lacking the one thing that genteel education was supposed to teach her, which is manners. She behaves towards others in a way that Austen would call "ill-bred". She grills people, not just Lizzie, like a drill sergeant, and she is rude in asking Lizzie such personal questions in front of others. She shows scorn at Lizzie's lack of accomplishments in her education, such as drawing, yet admits that she can't play an instrument herself and neither can her adored only daughter. Of course Lady C doesnt see that she is being at all hypocritical. In fact Lizzie is arguably better educated than Lady C., because Lizzie can at least play the piano a bit. The wealthy Bingley sister(s) are also snobs who enjoy looking down on others. Austen loved to show her audience that true gentility is never about birth titles or riches. Or even being very talented, cultured and "proficient" in the arts. It all starts with genuine respect for others.

@curious968

Bad manners like this is intriguingly common. The blunt truth is, going by contemporaneous novels like Austen's and through to the Victorian era and beyond, manners are optional to one's social inferiors. The more inferior, the less manners are owed, and, often less showed. It was presumably part of putting inferiors in their place. While we never see it, it is likely Lady C shows impeccable manners to her equals and superiors. Remember that, formally at least, as a noblewoman, she was socially superior to everyone in the book she actually encountered. Including Darcy. I don't dispute your analysis of what Austen thought of this; I simply note that it is at least modestly subversive to her time and even beyond her time.

I just realized (years later and having seen this movie a dozen times) Lady Catherine told Charlotte that she could play the pianoforte in the housekeeper's room because she'd be in nobody's way. Um. Yes, she would. She'd be in the housekeeper's way. And there are probably drawing rooms all over the house that barely ever see use, and some of them likely have pianofortes, so this offer that was clearly intended to show how magnanimous she was is actually exceedingly rude and condescending.

The Reverend Collins already told Lady Catherine about Lizzy and her family, so she knew who was coming to dinner. Lady Catherine probably also knew that Lizzy had previously rejected Collins's marriage proposal. The dinner conversation was an attempt to reinforce to Darcy that Lizzy is not one of their class. Darcy seems oblivious to his supposed engagement to his cousin Anne.

Meaning Elizabeth always says what she means. She doesn't play a coy girl by saying what she doesn't mean just to be pursued. She also reiterates this during Collins proposal.

I think the intention of the director was to make her seem controlling because otherwise the seating would have been arranged previous to the dinner.

No

In this adaptation I always get the impression that lady Catherine was shipping Lizzy and Darcy

Absolutely. In each of her scenes.

Las mujeres nos sentimos identificadas con el PERSONAJE de elizabeth Bennett de orgullo y prejuicio

In no way, shape or form does this come anywhere close to the BBC version.

I agree. It's not half as boring as the BBC version.

2005 Pride and prejudice all the way. And I have read the book, still this one's better. The BBC adaptation is robotic and unnatural to me idk.

Wow I would've succeeded in that era because as a kid I started drawing well, and taught myself some piano BUT my hair is a mess, I needed braces but my teeth are still crooked, and I must wear makeup so I would've ended up begging Mr. Collins to marry me😂 .

I love the sisters Bennett from pride and perjudice

I'd love to see Margot Robbie play Miss Elizabeth and rip this movie to shreds
