“You can imagine her going into a room and being slightly nervous about it, thinking: ‘I feel really stupid right now’. I think you see yourselves in all (Austen’s) characters, all her strong women. She is the sort of person (who) comes up with all the put downs that I always think: ‘I should have said that!’ She is the person who can come up with it really quickly. So I think she is still the person I want to be and I will never get there. I am just not clever enough.”

“They don´t really touch. Women don´t shake hands with men. So the first time Darcy touches Elizabeth is when he helps her into the carriage. Wich is a really beautiful moment. Because it´s the first skin-on-skin touch.

“This is about sex, this place, as well. That it’s about her discovering sensuality. And also that she’s not just admiring Darcy’s wealth, but she’s admiring his culture, she’s admiring his appreciation of beauty. That he has a sensitive soul. And that she loves him for his sensitivity”. (Joe Wright, Director).

The tumult of her mind, was now painfully great. She knew not how to support herself, and from actual weakness sat down and cried for half-an-hour.
