The movie rarely presented her, and even when she was presented she was usually quiete. Elizabeth Bennet was obstinate, independent and confident. Both the book and the movie presented her in such away. When she refused Mr.Collins proposal she was confident from her choice and obstinate, and refusing to do what her mother wanted reflected independence, also she was careful and loving, when she traveled to Netherfield just to make sure that her sister Jane was okay. All those character traits were the same because the story in both the movie and the book wanted to present Lizzie as the focus of the story, also she wasn’t so wise when she judged people through a short time. This trait was the most important between all the characters to present the theme of not judging a book by its cover. Lydia was the stupid one in the book and in the movie as her sister kitty.

Yet the distinct differences between them also affect the plots to an extent to which the suspense in the movie is less compared to the novel. Although the differences greatly alter the two, it makes each of them unique and exclusive from each other.

It is often believed that pictures speak louder than words. However, when comparing a book to a movie, this quote is totally not applicable.

In the written book, Fitzgerald described the parties as huge and dramatic, where as in the movie, the directors did a fantastic job translating Fitzgerald’s words into a lavish visual spectacle of booze, sequins, and confetti.

But in the movie Sofia lives with her family for a couple of weeks in town. Although it doesn’t drastically change the movie itself, but it changes other parts in the movie to where one can notice the out of placement given.
