Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Gabe Cole Novoa
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
2.0
Sorry but… I don’t think Pride and Prejudice works if both Darcy and Elizabeth are males, not even if one of them was a trans men.
Every critical reviews are already talking about it but Oliver’s way of viewing woman annoyed me. It feels as if he has no empathy for the treatment of woman in 1800s patriarchal society, as long as HE wasn’t treated as a woman.
‘Oh, you’re a lesbian who needs to be married and financially dependent to a man? I could never debase myself like that. I could never live like a woman’
NOBODY want to live like that. Do you think just because woman are used to live that way, that means it’s more okay?? Of course, he is a man and he shouldn’t live as a woman but the way he thinks of every female characters here is annoying.
Other than that, this retelling stripped everything that made Pride & Prejudice special.
