Pride & Perjudice
Two lovers have to overcome pride, for the female hero, and prejudice, for the male hero, before being together. When first he meets her, he refuses her company, for he finds her very common and not handsome [*pretty]. He has not tried to hide his motives from her. Her pride gets hurt. But it is not long before the man falls in love with her. His prejudice holds him back from disclosing his love for her. Even when he proposes marriage for the first time, his prejudice is still tangible. The conclusion of that story does not end at the first marriage proposal for she refuses it. As the story continues, his prejudice disappears and, only when her pride is overcome, does she consent to marry him.

Pride and Perjudice
1. How is voice-over used in the trailer for Pride and Prejudice? What does it actually say and how does it help to tie the trailer together?
The voice-over is the narrator.This voice tells what was the first Elizabeth's thought about Darcy marriage proposal and then it gets the oppossite and she completely falls in love to him. It helps to tie the trailer because if it wouldn't say nothing we probably would not anderstand what the film is about.
2. The trailer concentrates on Keira Knightley - why do you think this is?
She is the protagonist, very relevant and complicated.
3. The trailer seems to be in two halves - the first half leads up to the first appearance of Mr Darcy. The second part deals almost exclusively with Mr Darcy and Elisabeth.What information about the story is given in the first half of the trailer?How is the relationship between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth portrayed in the second half of the trailer?
In the first half of the trailer we can see the Bennet's family very happy, because Mr Darcy had arrived in the neighbourhood.He is a rich man and single!!
The relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy is love-hate.
She falls in love with Mr Darcy.
4. What atmosphere is created by the music in the trailer?
The atmosphere's changing over and over again along as trailer passes, it refers to every sittuation.
5. From viewing the trailer, write down your ideas about what will happen in the film and what genre it fits into.
The genere is love, and I think Elizabeth will marry Mr Darcy because they love each other.
