Every individual would surely have a dream to get married, especially with the one they love. Courtship is a titillate stage before both individual's get into a relationship. It is where both individual show good intentions to each other. It's really nice if both individuals have love and have the same feelings for each other.

Well, in the movie Pride and Prejudice, it has the theme on the courtship, marriage and social statuses in the 17th century. It was the era when women were inferior to men. Women represented in the film, as they were not allowed to play a greater role in the society as they were supposed to stay in the house doing household chores and serving the family. A woman's objective before was being that, to be able to have a secured life, they must have to marry a wealthy man who can sustain their needs and for stability statuses.

But, in the case of the leading characters of Mr. William Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet showed that they developed love for each other. Despite there social statuses, people who interfered their love and the circumstances beyond control that they had experienced, but still, they ended their love story happily ever after.

By looking at the conflict, you will going to find the main goal of the movie and that's presenting equality from social statuses. There is a chain of events in cause and effect relationship.

On the other hand, according to Vladimir Propp that there are characterization in narratives such as the hero, the villain, the donor, the dispatcher, the helper and the princess. 


In the film, the hero of it was Mr. William Darcy, the haughty guy who later turned to passionate and well mannered person. The villain was Lady Catherine de Bourg the aunt of Mr. Darcy, who once came into the house of the Bennet to renounce Darcy as he was supposedly engaged to her own daughter and uttered bad talks to Elizabeth. The donor is someone who gives something that will make the hero working and this represented in the character of Mr. Collins. The helper of this film represented by the mother Bennet, who supported and wanted her children find a man that will be responsible for her five ladies. Lastly, the princess that was played by Elizabeth Bennet, who has a great personality and realistic.

I hope all women in this world would be like Elizabeth Bennet, who did not rush love easily as she considered situation first before getting into a relationship. We must love the person whom we really love and don't push ourselves to love the person who don't we love.
