It is a truth universally acknowledged that a classic novel often suffers the embarrassment of countless adaptations (and hideously misused opening sentences). Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is a classic work that is still widely-read today despite being published in 1813, because while the setting is period-specific, the entertaining absurdities of Austen’s characters and intricate plot are timeless. It is no surprise that the novel has been adapted numerous times for books, movies, and television shows.
