Abstract
This thesis analyses the representations of gender dynamics in the two contemporary adaptations of Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice (1813): the BBC miniseries Pride and Prejudice written by Andrew Davies and directed by Simon Langton from 1995 and the film Pride and Prejudice directed by Joe Wright and written by Deborah Moggach from 2005. By examining their different approaches, the thesis shows that both adaptations convey modern readings of Austen’s novel which showcase Elizabeth and Darcy’s romantic relationship as the primary focus while disregarding Austen’s ironic voice and remarks about the hypocrisies of the social classes. However, when depicting women’s position in the Regency society, both Wright and Davies translate Austen’s criticism of the social norms by emphasising the importance of intellectual education for women and the absurdity of societal expectations of women during this period.
