The following painting depicts a scene from Pride and Prejudice. Look at the painting provided, and compare what is depicted with what you have read in the excerpt. Then, find a clip from a film or theater production of Pride and Prejudice. How does that compare to what you have read and seen? Which aspects are emphasized and which are minimized in each work? Finally, how does the artistic medium of each work influence the purpose, subject, and theme?

 Pride and prejudice focuses on themes like love, marriage, division of society into classes.

Explanation: Pride and prejudice focuses on the various ways of how love might grow and disappear. It also focuses on whether the society has place for love, romance in it or not.

The major themes on which Pride and Prejudice focuses on are love, marriage, wealth, family, women and feminity in it. The theme of the Pride and prejudice on dividing the society into various classes based on wealth and money is relevant in today's society also.

It is hard to tell what is depicted in the painting with solely the little context at the bottom, which names none of the characters we hear about in the excerpt except one daughter. In the excerpt, we haven't yet been told who Mr. Darcy, or Mr. William Lucas is, but using the context, we can infer that Elizabeth Bennet is Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's daughter. The context that could allow us to infer that this is Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's daughter depicted in the painting is that Mrs. Bennet wants her daughters to marry a wealthy man, and by using the depiction from the artist, the men are dressed well, hinting possible wealth. The footnote (located at the bottom of the painting) shows that the woman's last name is "Bennet" and since the woman is depicted as young, we can assume that this is one of the two daughters. The comparison of the excerpt and the painting is that they are two completely different scenes. There are people in the painting that are not in the excerpt, and people in the excerpt that aren't in the painting.

Films rarely differ from the stories they were based on, and the film based on this story doesn't do much of that either. The film version compared to the excerpt fits the saying "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." In both the film and story, the theme of thinking independently over following tradition is emphasized heavily by Mr. Bennet, and the theme of sticking to tradition is emphasized heavily by Mrs. Bennet.  

The artistic medium of each work influences the purpose, subject, and theme very differently. In the painting, it seems as if the sole purpose would be for the daughter to marry a rich man, because it doesn't appear to show objection to the theme of following tradition. The excerpt and film show basically the same purposes, subjects, and themes. Both the film and the story focus on the purpose of independent thinking.
