One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar Winners

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert / Hugo Weaving as Anthony "Tick" Belrose (Mitzi Del Bra)

Year: 1994

Designer: Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner

In a movie full of flamboyant costumes, this minidress adorned with pink and orange flip-flops definitely stands out for its original materials. It's got a definite 1960s vibe, between the length, the colors, and the "pop art" feel to it. Accessories include matching earrings, knee-high "gladiator" sandals, a cotton-candy-pink wig, and many large rings.

This was the first movie I ever saw Hugo Weaving in, so he wasn't cemented as "Agent Smith" in my mind, as he seems to have been for those who first encountered him in The Matrix. Consequently, I had no trouble shifting to viewing him as Elrond in the LOTR movies.

So when Darcy went to fix the Lydia/Wickham situation, he first tried to get Lydia to return home, only bribing Wickham into marrying her when she wouldn't. This is sensible by modern standards, but we know from everyone else's reactions Lydia *failing* marrying Wickham would bring the Bennet family shame. Darcy knows this, and doubt he planned to leave the situation as is. So how did he originally plan to fix it?

I think Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy was gonna channel his inner Emma Woodhouse (didn't have to dig far, they're very similar people) and play matchmaker. In my headcannon Darcy checked his "Possible Husbands for Georgie" list against his "People who owe me Gargantuan favours" list and offer whoever came up money to marry Lydia.

Now, he would want to spare the Bennets of as much of the scandal as possible, and wouldn't want to take the merit in front of Lizzie, so all would most likely happen discreetly through Mr. Gardiner, while Lydia was in London, and she would move to her husbands immediatly after.

However, I wanna propose a different scenario: Lydia returns to Meryton. Scandal ensues, the Bennets are disgraced. Then, within two weeks, a random well-off man shows up intent on courting Lydia and *only* Lydia. He heeds nobodys warnings and gives no explanations. Lydia loves it. Every other mum in Meryton is furious. The Bennets are confused and paranoid. Imagine the drama. The intrige. The million questions still unawnsered long after Lydia eventually gets married and leaves. Bingley marries Jane (cause of course Darcy still told him he'd been wrong to pull them apart, and Bingley would) and Darcy's still somewhat around. Maybe him and Lizzie get together, maybe not, but every time the topic comes up he gets all sheepish and awkward and she gets suspicious and it's a thing. It's their new dynamic.

#picture a binder for “people who owe me Gatgantuan favours”#and like a few pages for “Possible husbands for Georgie” in a folder #“why would Darcy waste a good man on (ugh) Lydia?” i fear someone might ask?“#because Darcy's a good considerate person. he was trying to save her for a bad marriage in the first place.#not saying he'd give up the top pick but he wouldn't set her up with anything less than safe and decent #also as annoying as Lydia is she doesn't deserve abuse. Austen makes a point of telling us even with Wickham she's got her family's support.#also also the top pick is probably Charles and he's taken so #jane austen #mr darcy #lydia bennet #mr. gardiner #lizzie bennet #decent guy.#pride and prejudice #classic literature

Recently rereading Pride and Prejudice I came across this quote which, in my opinion, is one of the most relatable things about the book. The feeling that whatever bold choice you have made is the single most horrible, embarrassing choice that you could have made, that resulted in the worst possible outcome in the whole world.

"But Elizabeth heard not a word, and wholly engrossed by her own feelings, followed them in silence. She was overpowered by shame and vexation. Her coming there was the most unfortunate, the most ill-judged thing in the world!"

These are her thoughts when she lets her aunt and uncle, the Gardiners, take her to Pemberly, Mr Darcy's home in Derbyshire, under the assumption that he wouldn't be there, only to have him arrive just as she's leaving. Mind you, this is after she savagely rejected him with the "you are the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed upon to marry" line. Brutal. Despite that, he's polite and kind, but she's stuck in her head, so embarrassed about the fact that she was even there in the first place, and what he must think. Her train of thought wouldn't be anything other than painfully relatable except for the very last line of the book. Which is:

"With the Gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms. Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them."

I just think the idea that you can go through something that you consider the worst thing to ever happen to you, the most embarrassing thing you have ever done, and later have the perspective to realize that had to happen in order for you to get something better. Okay yeah, if she had never let her aunt and uncle take her to Derbyshire, she would have avoided "the most unfortunate and ill-judged thing in the world". I'm sure she would have seriously appreciated short-term, but I think looking back on it, she'd willingly do it over again if it meant getting to marry the man she loves.

I just think it's lovely that life has a funny way of flipping things around, so what was once horribly embarrassing and painful later becomes something you're incredibly grateful for and wouldn't change for the world.

One of my favorite parts of Pride and Prejudice is Lizzy in Derbyshire, constantly anxious over whether Darcy still holds her in high regard...

...meanwhile the Gardiners observe him for one day and go like "Yup, he's very much in love"

And if that still doesn't hold up to having a crush today I don't know what does

Another short comment on Pride and Prejudice: I wonder how many people ‘in trade’ Darcy had previously met on a social footing, and whether meeting the Gardiners at Pemberley affected his own prejudices? If he reacted to Mrs. Bennet with thoughts approximating “This horrible vulgar social climbing woman, she’s trying to pull her family up by using her daughters to attach rich men, and she’s going to have a whole family who are just like her” - which would fit with his pre-existing stereotypes of her social background - then meeting her relatives who are intelligent people and who he could interact with happily might have dislodged some of his prejuduces, on top of him wanting to show Lizzy his improved manners.

@redwooding said:

My only quibble with the letter, by the way, is that in more than one annotated Austen novel, David Shapard says in those notes that it was proper for an unmarried man to write an unmarried woman, and for her to reply, *only* if they are engaged to each other. Marianne violates this informal but strong norm, and (IIRC) Elinor worries about this. It DOES seem out of character for Darcy to do something so improper. Yet the tone of the letter is almost business-like, as if he is writing to a man who has insulted him and they're gearing up for a duel. Obviously he is not planning to duel Lizzie, but it does have that tone of demanding satisfaction to the smear on his reputation, though it's much more correctional in tone than challenging. So maybe he disregards that norm for this important reason.

I wanted to respond to this specifically in case I forget to respond to your overall reply.

David Shapard's annotations are a very mixed bag IMO. His historical annotations are intriguing, as are plenty of the more literary interpretations, but he makes some peculiar mistakes in applying historical knowledge to the characters without always attending to their individual personalities or circumstances. I've used a case where he does this with Lydia as an example (in my prospectus) of why I think interdisciplinary readings need to be handled more carefully than they often are.

As for the particular matter of propriety wrt letter writing, I think it is very much dependent on how openly it's done. Significantly, Darcy doesn't send Elizabeth a letter, which would flout the norm and put Elizabeth in a very uncomfortable situation. He waits for her and delivers it by hand so that she doesn't have to deal with the social consequences of being known to have received a letter from him.

Elizabeth could then destroy the letter if she wanted to be completely secure, and he seems to figure she would (though Elizabeth's response after their engagement suggests she kept it the whole time). But the norm is, of course, why she doesn't and can't respond.

Darcy is maneuvering carefully around propriety here to strike a balance between defending his character and keeping social pressure off Elizabeth. And, after all, this is the same man who will try to give Lydia an out from marrying Wickham despite the dictates of propriety. Additionally, he tries to handle that situation in a way that will accomplish what needs to be done while keeping Elizabeth from feeling social or personal pressure. He cares a lot about propriety, but he's not unbending about it when it really matters.

This is also relevant to Mrs Gardiner's half-expectation that Elizabeth will (openly) receive a letter from Darcy after they leave Lambton. A letter received that way would be very improper without some kind of understanding between Darcy and Elizabeth (which Mrs Gardiner thinks might very well exist, as seen then and in her later letter to Elizabeth). So that would put Elizabeth under quite a lot of scrutiny in a way his earlier letter doesn't.

One of my favorite fun facts about Pride and Prejudice is that it was originally published in three volumes and volume two ends right when Elizabeth agrees to go with the Gardiners to visit Pemberly. Because imagine (longish thing below the break):

You’re a young regency-era lady going to the local circulating library and you see a new book by the author of ‘Sense and Sensibility.’ You liked ‘Sense and Sensibility,’ so you decide to borrow Volume 1. You get home, read it, and enjoy it. You like Lizzie’s sharp wit, are intrigued by Mr. Darcy’s interest in her, and cannot help but agree that, yes, Mr. Collins would be a bear to be married to.

You finish it, chuckle at the final page containing Mr. Bennet consoling his wife over the matter of the entail by reminding her that he may be the survivor, and when it becomes convenient head to town to borrow Volume 2 (you decide to be polite and only take out one book at a time). You take it home and read.

After a few days of leisurely visiting Rosings and being more peeved than awed by Lady Catherine’s condescension (to say nothing of Darcy piquing your interest more and more), you hit the first proposal scene. Suddenly you cannot read fast enough. He asks for her hand in the most offensive manner possible, she refuses him with fire leaping from her tongue, and when the storm calms you don’t know what to make of it.

Then the letter.

You didn’t realize how hard you were pulling for these two to get together until now. You hardly care about going to Brighton but instead feel a thrill when the Gardiners’ travel plans are altered to include Derbyshire because of course you remember who lives there. Then the idea of going to Pemberly is proposed, you hold your breath as Lizzie dithers over the matter, and you internally cheer when she agrees because you just know she will meet-

The book ends.

And by now it’s evening and too late to walk to town.

dkdfjkdsfsjfsdfdsfjdsfjdsf

You resolve to head out the second breakfast is over.

It rains.

Tomorrow too, and your sister consoling you about the merits to be had in bearing trials is not helping (because she doesn’t read novels and cannot sympathize).

Then, finally, sun; cloudy sun, but you’ll take it. Dragging your sister (who you’ve decided must have been the inspiration for Mary) along since it wouldn’t do to go alone, you walk as fast as propriety allows to the library, head to the shelf, and-

Someone. Else. Has. Taken. It.

FSKJF;JFSDJF;KJDSFKJS

You curse your manners.

Then you spend the rest of the day calling on every single one of your acquaintances, even the Millers who you can hardly stand, with your moralizing sister in tow, trying to figure out who has Volume Three.

Because being driven to distraction by a cliffhanger is a universal human experience.

#pride and prejudice #pride & prejudice #elizabeth bennet #mr darcy #writing #power of cliffhangers #jane austen #regency #so this is where my head is at apparently #seriously though #you can't tell me there wasn't some regency-era reader who wasn't racing for volume three #thoroughly invested in darcy and lizzie getting together

I have thought of a cursed Pride and Prejudice AU:

• Darcy leaves Georgiana's elopement out of the explanatory letter he writes after the failed proposal at Hunsford, only revealing Wickham's refusing the living in exchange for money and then demanding it anyway. This still softens Elizabeth opinion of him, she still believes him, but has less sway over her feelings.

• When she sees Wickham again she still likes him enough to want to find out the truth. At her first hint he immediately confesses "the truth". He does a very good job of mourning the folly of his youth and explains how ashamed he is of his actions now. He owns that he perhaps ought to be less resentful towards Darcy, but claims that Darcy did not scruple to disdain him for a moment of folly, which, he claims, was brought on purely a by distress of circumstances. He also wishes he would have told her the whole truth immediately, but he simply couldn't bear to think it might sink him in her opinion. Elizabeth, flattered, and aided by Jane's endless faith in human good nature, believes him.

• After agreeing to let Lydia go to Brighton, Elizabeth manages to convince Mr. Bennet that this is actually a very very bad idea. But, judging that it would mean outright war at home if he retracts his permission now, he grumpily decides to take the whole family to Brighton.

• Because of this, Elizabeth does not go with the Gardiners to Derbyshire. Wickham improves his friendship with the whole Bennet family and keeps paying Lizzy special attention.

• Instead of going to Scarborough, the Bingleys and both Darcy's go to Brighton.

• Darcy sees Elizabeth again and immediately tries to show her he has listened to her reproofs on his manners. She, now convinced of his being a decent man, but not softened by a Pemberley meeting and the praise of his servants, is pleased with this change in behaviour, but not immediately so moved by it as she would have been.

• Wickham is for the first time able to see Darcy in company with Elizabeth, and, knowing Darcy's mannerisms better than almost anyone except for Georgiana, immediately sees that Darcy is genuinely in love with her. He also sees how absolutely horrified Darcy is to see him with the Bennets.

• Wickham then changes his idle flirting to full on courtship of Elizabeth, purely to get back at Darcy.

ok but can we talk about the prophecy (ttpd) and lizzie? like her wishing for a marriage of respect, if not love, knowing very well that it might possibly never occur for her. and then mr collins's proposal happens and then mr darcy's first proposal happens and she is starting to kind of accept the reality of her prospects (because even someone as strong as lizzie would be a little despaired after two less-than-ideal proposals, added onto her already existing worries about jane) that maybe it really is in her destiny to not get a happy marriage. her prophecy, one might even call it.

and she is kind of making peace with it, but then. but then.

mr darcy 2.0 happens and she dares to hope. the events at Pemberley unfold and she sees how he talks to the gardiners and how he so openly introduced her to his sister and how he seems to not be disgusted at the sight of her after that shitshow in kent and, for once, it's actually going well and lizzie thinks that, maybe, something might come out of it. maybe all is not lost yet. but then.

just when she thought things were taking a turn for the better, wickham happens. the elopement. she thought she caught lightning in a bottle but it's gone again. she has lost him. again. she has lost a chance at happiness. again. and she's telling herself that, really, she shouldn't have tried to deny what was written in her destiny in the first place and that she should've known better.

she is back at longbourn and she knows that nothing will ever change, no matter what the outcome of lydia's elopement may be. she's lamenting what she never had, what she never will have. it was never money she wanted. just someone who would want her company. someone who would trust her, respect her, listen to her. but even that feels like asking for too much for now the bennets are ruined and she might as well learn to stop expecting any sort of marriage for herself now, let alone one that may offer her happiness and change her prophecy.

at kent mr darcy had showed his hand. at pemberley, he had been more open than she would've ever thought him capable of, and that was when she could still sense his reticence. sitting at longbourn, watching her life play out like fools in a fable, all of it is 'sinking in' now, the poison of her circumstances is seeping into her blood, but she still can't help but dream of him, dream of what could've been. she feels like the very last drops of an ink pen, dragging something on when it's of no use anymore because even after all this, she has that glimmer of hope in her that mayhe their story still has a few words left to be written. she had waited, against her pragmatic mind, for him to maybe say somehing to her once again when they were in derbyshire and now, when it's all out of reach, she thinks that it might have resulted in something if not for the elopement.

the elopement. she knows after wickham, there is simply no way mr darcy's feelings for her, even had they been stronger than they surely could've been after that sound rejection, could be anything other than non-existant. even statues crumble if they're made to wait, after all. and now she has sealed her fate, no sign of soulmates.

she's out in the garden (that 2005 scene). lady catherine visited her the previous day, digging at her wounds, rubbing in her helplessness in the face of her prophecy. it's before dawn and, in the absence of daylight, she does something a greater woman would never. she begs. she looks to the sky and says please.

i know it is all a little all over the place but i just think that the prophecy is so hauntingly reminiscent of lizzie.

#and then mr darcy DID come and change her prophecy like he was always meant to #but she didn't know that yet #lizzie bennet #lizzie #elizabeth bennet #mr darcy #fitzwilliam darcy #pride and prejudice #ttpd #taylor swift #the prophecy #the tortured poets department #the tortured poets department the anthology #the anthology #p&p #prideandprejudice #janeausten #jane austen #Spotify
