remember that jane austen was a feminist and even in that day and age, writing about marriage largely, she never stopped herself from adding her own tongue in cheek two bits about how ridiculous she thought the whole finding a suitable husband was a woman's ultimate goal! her women were all smart but with their flaws...if liz had her pride, emma had her holier than thou interference! there is so much more to liz than just her garrulousness. she is talkative for a reason, because she has the confidence in her intelligence to do so. liz would never doubt her worth.

@cute2stay..(pallavi?) read PnP? unlikely! trust me they have only seen BnP and believe that was PnP!! subtlety is a word lost on them!Yes it is Pallavi. =). Yaar, chalo even if they only saw BnP it was still laakh guna better than this crap Pnp ke naam pe.

caro...do they even understand the legal ramifications of doing something like this? why do people think they can mess with classics and get away with it? copyright violations aside, as kavya said to me, i should sue them for trauma! clothes? imagine the actual jane dancing in those clothes to dance pe chance marle!! yiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss!! ahahaha 😆😆 Yaarrr tu thand rakh! ahhaaa sue them? Arrey MJHT is already a pretty low budget show, kya kakh chawani bhi nahin milegi tujhe sue karne se! not worth it at all. 😆😆

@ caro...oh but shakespeare was meant for masala...he himself was an uneducated entertainer as opposed to the university wits like jonson, his contemporary. the beauty of shakespeare lies in the fact that you can take his work at face value and make a complete pot boiler out of it, you can also psychologically analyze it to perfection. typically i think they should've stuck to something inane like midsummer night's dream. in any case, everything here is physical, so may as well use one of shakespeare's baser comedies...why use a book that has been applauded time and again for social commentary?
