Pride an prejudice: Questions related to context

Throughout this classes, we have been spending our time in watching trailers of different versions of Jane Austen's "Pride and prejudice", what I think it has been quite productive. This, because this novel is deeply related with the context, both of production and reception. That is why I am answering the following questions related with this:

1. Why do you think "Pride and Prejudice" continues to be a referent for modern tales? 

2. What do you think is the effect that these different authors (film directors, producers, modern writers) want to achieve in today's audiences?

3. If you had to choose one of the previous versions to analyse, which would be the one and why?

Answers:

1- Because it doesn't envolve themes specifically from that times, but more themes that are related with the human itself; human being's emotions and feeligns are not from a specific period of time, or as I said before, context.

2- I believe that author or producers want to make the audiece feel identify with the characters and their problems, becuse, as I said before, those are human's problems. I also believe that they would like the audiebce to take as an example some specific characters, because thew show a value that is worthy to be followed.

3- I thing it would be interesting to analyse the last and less classic novel, "Pride and prejudice and zombies", because it will implie the struggle for survival, a problem that mankind encourages everyday. Also, I believe that it would be more entertaining than the original one.
