It’s a truth universally acknowledged – well, acknowledged by Greta Gerwig's Barbie, at least – that sad girls love Pride and Prejudice
The mini-series captures the subtle dance between the two unlikeliest of lovers, as every longing stare, brief glance, small smile and eyebrow raise is charged with heated – sometimes misunderstood – emotion that can’t be overtly expressed in Georgian English society.
Ehle embodies Elizabeth’s charm as the free-spirited Bennet sister, determined to defy the norms of her time and marry for love rather than money – a revolutionary stand that makes even her own mother threaten to disown her. It’s the combination of a fierce woman who refuses to back down to an intimidating man – and a patriarchal society – with a misunderstood, soft-hearted man who eventually reveals his vulnerable side that makes even Barbie want to binge-watch it.Though it wasn’t so much Darcy’s words as a dripping-wet Firth, emerging from a fountain in a now see-through white shirt, that left a lasting impression on many viewers.
It’s that sense of destiny, even more than that lakeside chat, that keeps us coming back to Ehle and Firth and that adaptation in particular. There’s hope in the idea that love is an undeniable, overwhelming thing that strips away even the thorniest defences. There’s hope, too, in how Darcy learns not to be afraid of his feelings, and that allowing himself to love makes him stronger. If it can happen to someone as controlled and stern as Mr Darcy, it can happen to anyone.
