Yes, P&P is a happier one. BTW, I like Darcy too. :)


There isn't a P&P film adaptation satisfies me so far, but the S&S film with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet is super, I like the character of Colonel Brandon.


Thanks for sharing.
One of my goodreads friends once said, maybe S&S was written after P&P. I'm not sure but it makes sense.
I think 5 sisters are too many. LOL.
And it's weird for Bingley's having given up Jane simply because of Darcy's persuasion, why couldn't Bingley love Jane while Darcy loved Lizzy, if it was because of their parents and younger sisters??
While in S&S, Edward had been engaged with Lucy, that was a more sound reason.
In S&S, Wickham was just a wicked soul. But in S&S, Willoughby was punished enough.
S&S is closer to reality. ;)

I think 5 daughters are too many girls too but that's the beauty of Jane's stories, I think jeje.


I mean Darcy should have pushed Bingley back to Jane earlier, when he himself was showing love to Lizzy. ;)

As you may notice, I love P&P and Darcy ;)

Jaja, I love Darcy too. ;)


Did you mean Darcy tried to hide the truth that it was him who separated Bingley and Jane?


I guess, it's because the characters in S&S are more like ourselves, we are just very normal persons who are marrying the same normal the other half, we are facing many REAL problems. Everybody likes Mr. Darcy, but he is surreal. ;)
The S&S film adaptation made me cry. :)


Thanks Ainboa, you are right too. :)
As you strongly recommended Jane Austin’s books, I’ll probably start Persuasion one day. P&P and S&S are the only two Austin’s books I’ve read so far, and they are so similar, I once decided not to read her books for a while. :)







S&S however, I have to imagine hard to understand all characters, and when I re-read again and again, S&S has more depth.


I was sucked into the Bennett family's drama (and Elizabeth's embarrassment over them), and Darcy's attitude wholly. S&S had great characterization, of course, but P&P was more humorous, and stressful (in a good way!).

I agree!




I think that's were the difference is between S&S and P&P, just in little details

Pride & Prejudice. I like the characters better and the story is a lot more humorous. I love Sense & Sensibility too but I prefer the former to the latter here.
Just read S&S and liked it, but I prefer P&P more.
