Pride and prejudice” was initially named “First impressions”, the name of the book that Lizzie is seen reading at the start of the film. The new title was inspired by the last paragraph of Frances Burney´s “Cecilia”, in wich the phrase appears three times. When the book came out in 1796, one of the subscribers was `Miss J. Austen, Steventon´.
“The whole of this unfortunate business,” said Dr. Lyster, “has been the result of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Your uncle, the Dean, began it, by his arbitrary will, as if an ordinance of his own could arrest the course of nature! And as if he had power to keep alive, by the loan of a name, a family in the male branch already extinct. Your father, Mr. Mortimer, continued it with the same self-partiality, preferring the wretched gratification of tickling his ear with a favourite sound, to the solid happiness of his son with a rich and deserving wife. Yet this, however, remember; if to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE you owe your miseries, so wonderfully is good and evil balanced, that to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE you will also owe their termination: for all that I could say to Mr. Delvile, either of reasoning or entreaty, and I said all I could suggest, and I suggested all a man need wish to hear, was totally thrown away, till I pointed out to him his own disgrace, in having a daughter-in-law immured in these mean lodgings!”
“Apparently there’s an internet campaign to get the North American ending in the British version. Do you have a preference?
I think I prefer the version without the kiss. Only because I find it quite difficult to watch myself anyway. But I don’t know, I find it saccharin”.
(Matthew Macfadyen)

“You mean to frighten me, Mr.Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me? I will not be alarmed though your sister does play so well. There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened about the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me”
(Pride and Prejudice)

- Mr. Darcy: Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you... I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.
- Elizabeth Bennet: I don't understand.
- Mr. Darcy: I love you.
