Symbols: There aren't any really.
Work: They Made this movie interesting and if you pay close attention there's music from pride and prejudice in this movie to! Also it shows how she starts writing pride and prejudice!
My Personal Respose:
Ok Just like Pride and Prejudice
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!
I was soooo Happy when this movie all came together, when jane and tom started flirting more and then when he told her "Im yours heart and soul" something like that it just made me melt. Sorry i know thats cheesy but I can't explain it any better than that. Now the ending is what made me Really MAD! I'm not going to give it away because i want you to watch it for yourself! (although i could say it cause no one reads these).  I personally cried a lot, let me say. So I shall leave my response to this so get offline and go rent it right now!!!!!!!!! big grin

The movie sounds good-- is it supposed to be about the life of the author of pride and prejudice?  Now your driving me crazy: I want to know what happens at the end. Maybe I'll rent it to watch myself: the next movie we watch is supposed to be Shakespeare I think.
