This is fascinating. I write as a hobby and I always write in 3rd person, however I always want to put readers into the mind of my chars so I try to be descriptive of how a certain char feels and acts in a certain situation. Like in one story my main char travels to another world and I want the reader to learn more about the world itself through her POV. So it's fascinating to know that this style of writing was popularized by Austen. I love this book but I haven't read it since high school, so I don't remember the exact writing style, only that it made me laugh a lot, which surprised me honestly because I didn't think a book from that time period could be funny.

May I suggest a pdf outline that viewers can access to read along and make notes on while watching the video. I think I would gain more out of the videos if there were some physical aspect to the experience. I do take my own notes while watching your videos but the speed of the videos makes it a little hard. It can also turn a 10 minute video into a 30 minute watching time because of all the pause/play. Hopefully you will take this into consideration, thank you!

I liked to think (thanks to 2005 version of pride & prejudice) that Darcy was right away attracted to Elizabeth but because of her social class and his as well, he maybe thought that this was not a suitable match (of course he did) and with time those feelings would fade away. But this is the regency era and one thing I have had for sure seen is that in this time love was swift and everlasting.

I love reading, and anyone who knows me can testify for me. However, I spent many hours reading Pride and Prejudice, mostly rereading the same paragraph repeatedly. I learned more about the book from the first 2 minutes of this video than from reading the book. Thanks John Green, maybe I-ll revisit Jane Austen later in life when my attention span has grown from 8 seconds to 10.

I adore everything Jane Austen has written, and Pride & Prejudice has a special place on my heart. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts, and appreciated for your defense of JA and the romance genre from literary snobs. :)

I think she didnt give herself enough credit when she said her writing was narrow its a very deep book that deals with questions that are relevant today. Theres a reason it is still a very popular book.

In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently admire and love this episode!

Hank must've been upset that you said she fell in love with Mr. Darcy because of his estate. I believe it was because of his letter.
