“您爱上他多久了？”
“这份情感来得如此循序渐进，我几乎无从察觉。”
“但我想是从初见彭伯里那片美丽庄园时，便已误坠情网。”
您敢信距离我上部”易忽略细节”视频发布竟已过去九个月了吗？九个月啊！我始终承诺要做续集，也坚信还有更多隐藏细节值得发掘。确实如此——而且上期视频中很多观众也指出了不少，本次我会一并收录。
梅里顿集会与红狮旅馆
首批场景涉及梅里顿红狮旅馆的首场舞会。彬格莱一行人甫抵达，班纳特太太正向丽兹和吉英介绍他们。
“看见那位先生了吗？卢卡斯夫人刚告诉我他是彬格莱先生的至交。”
镜头一转，短暂捕捉到卡罗琳与达西窃窃私语。
“…至交。他名叫达西。”
我不妄加揣测对话内容，留待诸位自行解读。但感觉他们要么在抱怨场合难以忍受，要么是安娜·钱斯勒对科林·费尔斯说：”拍完去喝一杯？”终究无从考证，对吧？
彬格莱刚指责达西不跳舞，达西便评论丽兹”尚可容忍”。我们本以为丽兹会因此懊恼，她却瞥见了房间对面的夏绿蒂。
注意此前场景中丽兹与夏绿蒂相视一笑——
“我讨厌看你傻站着！来，你最好还是跳舞！”
据我观察（纯属个人解读），丽兹似下定决心从达西面前走过，投去一瞥仿佛在说”毫不在乎他的评价”。她走向夏绿蒂，两人显然开始谈论达西——因为她们同时望向他。
深藏不露的赫斯特先生
让我们关注才华横溢的赫斯特先生。多数镜头里他不是酣睡、畅饮（自斟或要求添酒），就是打牌。
但仍有几个场景赋予他零星台词，这或许让我们窥见其角色定位：他究竟是团体中受认可的一员（作为路易莎的丈夫），还是仅被容忍的存在？
“啊，确实。真是乏味透顶的夜晚。”
“您更喜欢阅读而非打牌？”
但惊见他竟在跳舞！想不到吧？他并非总是坐着饮酒进食打牌——实际起身与妻子跳了支短舞。
玛丽·班纳特的礼仪（或缺席）
这场戏中，出色的露西·布莱尔斯或许又为我们揭示了玛丽的特质：在非餐桌场合（尤其是聚会中）进食符合礼仪吗？为何唯独她在别人都不进食时用手拿着吃？哈…我觉得这妙极了。您怎么看？
神隐的卢卡斯夫人
卢卡斯夫人是谁？我们常见到威廉·卢卡斯爵士、夏绿蒂和玛丽亚，却几乎未见卢卡斯夫人露面。重刷时（此前从未注意）——她其实正与班纳特夫人交谈，随后又同福斯特上校搭话：
“您对赫特福德郡还满意吗，福斯特上校？”
“非常满意，卢卡斯夫人。”
仔细留意会发现她确实多次出现在背景中，主要是在聚会场合。
威廉·卢卡斯爵士的窘态？
威廉·卢卡斯爵士是否令自己难堪？他或许不觉如此，但夏绿蒂的眼神仿佛在说：”哦不，他又来了。”
记得卡罗琳曾提及威廉·卢卡斯受封爵士前经商。我猜这或许是夏绿蒂对父亲行为露出此表情的原因。
“我很乐意在进城时为您引见。”
“您太客气了，先生。”
达西的凝视与卡罗琳的碰壁
还记得丽兹在户外逗狗，达西刚沐浴完凭窗凝视的场景吗？上期视频中不少人说这是最爱的片段。
除了推测达西内心因丽兹而渐趋柔软，或是他首次意识到自己可能爱上了她（配乐亦暗示这点），我不赘述其他。
若您坐椅阅读时有人径直站到面前俯身，总会抬头吧？或许会问对方有何事？但此场景中达西完全无视卡罗琳——这印证了观众所说的：达西尽可能不给予卡罗琳任何时间。
他翻书时将手背搭在脸上，肢体语言说明一切。这虽非背景戏，却让我们更深入理解达西的性格及其与卡罗琳的关系。
（柯林斯先生、玛丽与夏绿蒂的顿悟时刻）
餐桌上柯林斯先生解释道：”仅一条小径相隔，寒舍花园便与罗新斯庄园毗邻。”
“蔽宅花园与罗新斯庄园仅一巷之隔。”
“只隔一条小巷呢？真没想到啊，丽兹。”
玛丽是出于礼貌，还是暗藏心思？
当丽兹拒绝柯林斯求婚而夏绿蒂恰好出现时，莉迪亚和基蒂央求夏绿蒂带他去用餐。这是否是夏绿蒂——并非说她工于心计——灵光乍现的时刻？她是否认为找到了保障未来地位的人选，抑或是想替班纳特家解围？欢迎分享您的见解。
无论如何，我能确定她正做出某种决断。
神秘的玛丽·金
玛丽·金究竟何人？原著第二十七章提及她是梅里顿居民，曾在第三章的梅里顿舞会上与查尔斯·彬格莱共舞，但直到继承祖父一万英镑遗产成为女继承人后才再度被提及。
作为梅里顿居民，可推定班纳特家认识她。除看见她与威克姆共舞外，还有个短暂场景：玛丽·金打量着夏绿蒂和吉英，上下审视的目光为她的人物背景添了丝微妙注脚。
加德纳太太的容忍度
加德纳太太是我最爱的角色之一，因其智慧与不通废话的特质。接下来场景中，我试图解读她与班纳特太太关系的潜台词。剧集未明确交代，网上也找不到相关角色发展分析，但这或许与饰演者乔安娜·大卫获得的导演指导有关。
我们知道加德纳太太聪慧亲和、通情达理且慷慨大方。但她对班纳特太太是否心存容忍？
“卢卡斯一家可真精明！他们处处占尽便宜！不过您此时到来真是最大的安慰。”
导演处理很含蓄，但请重看：班纳特太太谈论卢卡斯家精明时，加德纳太太深吸一口气似在压抑情绪。当班纳特太太触碰她手臂时，她轻轻拂开——至少拂去了那种情绪。我可能过度解读了，但肢体语言确实存在。
达西的防备与信笺
上期视频虽谈过达西柔软面，但接下来场景中：达西拜访丽兹交谈时，讨论距离问题并表示不愿离浪搏恩太近，此刻他似乎卸下心防又瞬间惊醒。
“我想您不会愿常住浪搏恩附近吧？”
遭伊丽莎白拒绝后，达西写下信笺想亲手交付。在林中相遇时，他对她的彬彬有礼令人惊叹。
“班纳特小姐。”
“达西先生。”
“我在林中散步多时，期盼遇见您。能否赏光阅读此信？”
她看见他后转身欲走，他几乎追上去提高声量呼唤她名字。但转瞬间又恢复极致礼节。他本可直接说：”班纳特小姐，请赏光读信”，却特意解释自己已在林中徘徊良久盼相遇。
“我在林中散步多时，期盼遇见您。能否赏光阅读此信？”
原本可能这样演绎（请包涵剪辑）：
“班纳特小姐。”
“达西先生。”
“请赏光阅读此信？”
但剧集给予了这段文雅时刻。
“我定要战胜此事！”
还记得达西击剑时高喊”我定要战胜此事！一定！”的场景吗？
上期视频有观众要求澄清他究竟要战胜什么——我认为他仍需克服对丽兹的强烈情感，甚至试图停止这些念想。对吗？想来至此他仍无法想象与她重逢，至少在他的核心社交圈内。您觉得呢？
“我定要战胜此事！一定！”
傲慢？偏见？谁对应谁？
好吧我混淆了（笑）。就像汤姆·汉克斯在《电子情书》中惊呼：”《傲慢与偏见》的伊丽莎白·班纳特。她太傲慢了”——”是的”——”还是她太偏见？达西先生太傲慢？我…我记不清了。”
（傲慢与偏见的身份之谜）
究竟谁代表”傲慢”？谁代表”偏见”？丽兹和达西是否同时兼具这两种特质？抑或这些特质随着故事发展在角色间流转？
乔治安娜的登场
“正好向您介绍舍妹。”
这个场景中，达西想将丽兹介绍给妹妹乔治安娜。我难以判断丽兹此刻是否出于骄傲才勉强同意见面。她嘴上说”很乐意结识”，但表情却透露着犹豫。
“我很乐意结识她。”
“感谢您。”
不然她能怎么做？难道转身说”不，我就是不想理您”？需知此刻尚未发生当晚的 bonding（情感联结），丽兹对达西可能仍存拘谨。
达西的保护本能
上期视频中有观众提问：当卡罗琳提及威克姆时，达西几乎猛然起身并望向乔治安娜。您认为他接下来会采取什么行动？是冲去钢琴旁确认妹妹安好，还是起身严厉斥责卡罗琳？
“我听说某些女士觉得威克姆先生的陪伴异常惬意。”
怜悯与蹙眉
读完吉英来信后，丽兹 visibly（明显）心神不宁时达西到来。这个场景的趣味在于达西展现的 compassion（怜悯）。考虑到当时礼仪规范，除跳舞时需牵手外，我想不出其他合理肢体接触理由——至少在那个时代。或许这只是科林·费尔斯的即兴发挥？
纵观所有事件——求婚被拒、私奔丑闻、莉迪亚与威克姆的婚姻，大多由达西暗中解决——我始终不解为何达西与彬格莱拜访浪搏恩时，伊丽莎白会对达西 scowls（怒目而视）？
起初他们似乎试图眼神交流，但当达西移开视线时，丽兹似乎因他不再注视而恼怒。这个场景很奇特，因为她清楚达西为她的家庭付出多少，却仍站在那儿生闷气。
父爱与婚礼
这个场景令我十分动容。显然丽兹是班纳特先生最钟爱的女儿——至少95版改编中如此。事实上这不言自明吧？两人如同豆荚里的两颗豌豆，父女纽带异常牢固。
但本杰明·惠特罗精彩演绎了一位父亲即将失去珍爱女儿的心碎。我几乎能看到他眼中的泪光。
婚礼当日，镜头在仪式中多次扫过宾客。但关键仍在眼神：夏绿蒂望向柯林斯先生的目光，与加德纳夫妇对婚姻本质的理解形成 juxtaposition（对照）。
“…怀着对上帝的敬畏，认真思考婚姻缔结之缘起。”
但夏绿蒂看柯林斯的眼神仿佛在说：”加油伙计，兑现你的承诺吧。”
“…怀着对上帝的敬畏，认真思考婚姻缔结之缘起。”
Things You Might Have Missed Part02 （傲慢与偏见系列人物画像实录Part02）
“How long have you loved him?”
“It’s been coming on so gradually, I hardly know.”
But I believe I misdated from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley.
Can you believe it’s been 9 months since I released that previous video on things you might have missed? 9 months! I kept promising myself to do a follow-up, and I was sure there must be some other hidden gems for observation. Indeed, there are. And from my previous video, so many of you had pointed them out—I’ll probably include those ones in this video too.
Meryton Assembly & The Red Lion
The first batch of scenes relates to the first event being held in Meryton at the Red Lion. Bingley and his party have just arrived, and Mrs. Bennet is explaining who they are to Lizzie and Jane.
“You see that gentleman there? Lady Lucas has just told me he’s Mr. Bingley’s oldest friend.”
The camera turns and gives us a fleeting glimpse of Caroline and Darcy whispering to each other.
“…oldest friend. His name is Darcy.”
I’m not going to put words in their mouths; I’ll let you decide what the conversation is that’s going on. But I feel they’re either saying how insupportable it is to be there, or Anna Chancellor is saying to Colin Firth: “Should we hit the pub after filming?” We’ll never know, right?
Bingley has just told Darcy off for not dancing, and Darcy has remarked how Lizzie is “tolerable,” he supposes. And we’re led to believe that Lizzie is put out by this, but then she spies Charlotte across the room.
Now, prior to this scene, we see Lizzie and Charlotte exchanging a smile—
“I hate to see you standing about in this stupid manner! Come, you had much better dance!”
To me—and it’s just my impression of what I’m observing—it looks like Lizzie makes a decision to find a way of walking right past Darcy whilst giving him a glance that might suggest that she doesn’t care what he thinks. She heads over to Charlotte, and they obviously start talking about Darcy, since they both look over at him.
The Talented Mr. Hurst
Let’s take a moment to observe the talented Mr. Hurst. For the most part, he’s shown as either totally flaked out, sleeping, or drinking—be it pouring a glass himself or asking for his glass to be topped up.
There are a number of scenes though, where he’s given just a few lines of dialogue, and I wonder if this allows us to see his character: is he an accepted member of the party (being Louisa’s husband), or is he just tolerated?
“Ah, very true. Damn tedious waste of an evening.”
“You prefer reading to cards, do you?”
But I was amazed to see him dancing! I know, right? He doesn’t always sit there drinking or eating or playing cards; he actually gets up and has a wee dance with his wife.
Mary Bennet’s Etiquette (Or Lack Thereof)
In this scene, the fabulous Lucy Briers perhaps gives us another little insight into Mary’s character. Now, is it etiquette to be eating when not sat at a table, especially at a gathering? Why is she eating when no one else is? And out of her hand! Ha… I… I think it’s wonderful. What are your thoughts?
Lady Lucas: The Elusive Figure
Who is Lady Lucas? We see a lot of Sir William Lucas, Charlotte, and Mariah throughout the episodes, but I’d always thought we would never see Lady Lucas. Upon re-watching—and I’ve never paid attention to this before—she is actually seen talking to Mrs. Bennet, and she then addresses Colonel Forster:
“And are you pleased with Hertfordshire, Colonel Forster?”
“Very much so, Lady Lucas.”
And so, on further viewing, we do see that she is there in the background on quite a few occasions, mainly at gatherings.
Sir William Lucas Embarrassed?
Has Sir William Lucas embarrassed himself? He probably doesn’t think so, but judging from the look Charlotte gives him, she may be thinking: “Oh no, he’s done it again.”
Remember Caroline remarks upon William Lucas being in trade before being elevated to knighthood. So, I was wondering if that’s the reason for Charlotte’s look at her father’s actions.
“I should be happy to introduce you there, you know, at any time when I’m in town.”
“You’re too kind, sir.”
Darcy’s Observation & Caroline’s Rejection
Remember the scene where Lizzie is playing with the dog outside, and Darcy is watching from the window, having just got out of the bath? Some people commented that this was their favorite scene from my last video.
I’m not going to speculate on what might be going through Darcy’s mind as he watches Lizzie, other than to say that perhaps it’s a little more softening of his heart, or perhaps the first time he realizes he may actually love her—and the music gives us a clue.
Now, if you’re sat in a chair engrossed in reading, and someone stands right in front of you, leans over you, you’d probably look up, right? You might inquire what’s on the person’s mind? Not in this scene. Darcy totally ignores Caroline, and it goes back to what some folk were saying about Darcy not giving Caroline any time if he didn’t have to.
He then turns the page and places the back of his hand on his face, and the body language says it all. It’s not a background scene, but it does give us a little more insight into Darcy’s character and perhaps his relationship with Caroline.
Mr. Collins, Mary, & Charlotte’s Epiphany
Mr. Collins, at the dinner table, explains that “only a lane separates the garden of his house from Rosings Park.”
“The garden in which stands my humble abode is separated only by a lane from Rosings Park.”
“Only a lane, eh? Fancy that, Lizzie.”
Is Mary being polite, or is she having some grand machinations?
When rejecting Mr. Collins, and Charlotte arrives, there’s this little scene where Lydia and Kitty beg Charlotte to take him away for dinner. Is this the moment Charlotte—and I’m not saying she’s scheming—is this the moment she suddenly has her epiphany? Is she thinking maybe she has found someone to secure her future position, or is she thinking she might have an idea to save the Bennets’ embarrassment? Let me know your thoughts on this one.
Whatever it is, it’s certain to me that she’s making a resolution of sorts.
The Enigmatic Mary King
Who is Mary King, hmm? In Chapter 27 of the book, we learn that Mary King is a resident of Meryton. She dances with Charles Bingley at the Meryton Assembly (that’s in Chapter Three), but she’s not mentioned again until she inherits £10,000 from her grandfather, becoming an heiress.
Now, as a member of Meryton, we can assume that Mary King is known by the Bennets. Apart from seeing her dance with Wickham, there is this fleeting scene where we see Mary King looking at Charlotte and Jane as she kind of looks them up and down. It just adds that tiny little bit more to her backstory, I think.
Mrs. Gardiner’s Tolerance
Mrs. Gardiner, one of my favorite characters for her wisdom and lack of nonsense. In this following scene, I’m trying to read between the lines regarding her relationship with Mrs. Bennet. Nothing is made clear in the series, and I couldn’t find anything online in terms of character development and character relationship. But it might be something to do with the direction given to Joanna David, who played the role.
We know that Mrs. Gardiner is an intelligent, amiable, sensible, and generous woman. But is she tolerant of Mrs. Bennet?
“Oh, those Lucases are such artful people indeed. They are all for what they can get! However, you’re coming just at this time is the greatest of comforts.”
The direction is subtle, but watch it again. Mrs. Bennet is talking about the artful Lucases, and Mrs. Gardiner takes a deep breath, like she’s holding back her feelings. Then, when Mrs. Bennet touches her arm, we see her kind of brush it away—or at least brush away the feeling. I’m probably reading too much into it, but the body language is there.
Darcy’s Guard & The Letter
I may have touched upon this in my previous video about Darcy’s gentler side, but in the next scene, Darcy has paid Lizzie a visit, and they are engaged in conversation. While discussing distances and not wishing to be too close to Longbourn, it appears to me that Darcy may have let his guard down and instantly realizes it.
“You would not wish to be always near Longbourn, I think.”
Darcy has been rejected by Elizabeth; he’s then written his letter and wants to deliver it to her by hand. When he sees her in the grove, it amazes me how polite he is to her.
“Miss Bennet.”
“Mr. Darcy.”
“I’ve been walking the grove sometime in the hope of meeting you. Will you do me the honor of reading this letter?”
She spies him and then turns to walk away, and he almost chases her and raises his voice calling her name. But then, in an instant, he appears to be all polite again. I mean, he could have just said: “Miss Bennet, would you do me the honor of reading this letter?” But he actually qualifies his actions by stating that he’s been walking around the grove for some time in the hope of meeting her.
“I’ve been walking the grove sometime in the hope of meeting you. Will you do me the honor of reading this letter.”
It could have played out like this (so excuse the editing):
“Miss Bennet.”
“Mr. Darcy.”
“Will you do me the honor of reading this letter?”
But we’re given a moment of civility.
“I Shall Conquer This!”
Do you recall the scene where Darcy has been sword fencing and he exclaims, “I shall conquer this. I shall!”?
In the previous video I made, one commenter wanted some clarification on this—in other words, what was the “thing” he had to conquer? So, I’m including it here because I want to kind of clarify that, to me, he still has strong feelings for Lizzie, and he has to overcome them. Maybe even try to stop having those feelings anymore. Am I right? I’d imagine up to this point, he probably couldn’t imagine seeing her again, at least not in his intimate circle of friends and acquaintances. What do you think?
“I shall conquer this. I shall!”
Pride? Prejudice? Who’s Who?
Okay, I’m confused, haha. Just like Tom Hanks in “You’ve Got Mail” when he exclaims: “Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. She was too proud.” — “Yes.” — “Or was she too prejudiced? And Mr. Darcy is too proud? I… I can’t remember.”
Who has the pride? Who is prejudiced? Are both Lizzie and Darcy filled with both pride and prejudice? Or do these things flit from one character to the other at different points in the story?
Introducing Georgiana
“Too much to introduce my sister to you.”
In this scene, Darcy wants to introduce Lizzie to his sister Georgiana. I can’t work out if Lizzie’s pride is on display here and that her acceptance to meet Georgiana is a reluctant agreement. She says she’d be happy to make the acquaintance, but then her face tells something else.
“I should be very happy to make her acquaintance.”
“Thank you.”
Like, what else could she do? Turn around and say: “No, I just don’t want to be around you”? Remember that the bonding of the evening to come hasn’t happened yet, so Lizzie’s still perhaps a little uneasy around Darcy.
Darcy’s Protective Instinct
Another question raised in my previous video was Darcy’s reaction to Caroline’s comment about Wickham, when he almost lurches to his feet and is looking across at Georgiana when it happens. What do you suppose his actions were going to be? Was he about to run to the piano and check that his sister was okay? Was he about to jump up and give Caroline a good talking-to? What do you think?
“I understood that certain ladies found the society of Mr. Wickham curiously agreeable.”
Compassion & The Scowl
Having read Jane’s letter, Lizzie is visibly upset, and Darcy arrives. It’s such an interesting scene because of how Darcy demonstrates compassion. Thinking about etiquette and decorum, apart from dancing with a woman and having to hold her hand as a dance partner, I can’t think of any other reason for being tactile—not in that era anyway. Perhaps it’s Colin Firth being Colin Firth, right?
Okay, we’re getting near the end now. Thinking about all that’s been going on—the marriage proposal rejections, the elopement, the marriage of Lydia and Wickham, and a lot of that being resolved by Darcy himself—I couldn’t work out in this scene why Elizabeth seems to scowl at Darcy when he and Bingley visit Longbourn?
Initially, it looks like they’re trying to make eye-contact with each other, and maybe when Darcy looks away, Lizzie is angry that he’s no longer looking at her. It’s just a strange scene because she knows what he’s provided and given for the family, and yet she’s standing there.
A Father’s Love & The Wedding
I find this scene quite moving. It’s clear to me that Lizzie is Mr. Bennet’s favorite daughter—at least in this portrayal from the 1995 adaptation. Actually, it’s obvious, isn’t it? The peas in a pod. The father-daughter bond is strong with these two.
But Benjamin Whitrow seems to give a moving portrayal of a father who is losing his cherished daughter. I can almost see tears in his eyes.
And so, it’s the wedding day. The camera does quite a bit of panning of the congregation during the ceremony, but it’s the eyes again. Charlotte looking at Mr. Collins, which seems to be followed as a kind of juxtaposition with Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and their own understanding of what marriage is.
“…and in the fear of God, duly considering the causes for which matrimony was ordained.”
But Charlotte’s look at Mr. Collins is like: “Go on then, mate. Live up to that.”
“…and in the fear of God, duly considering the causes for which matrimony was ordained.”
