Books, socks and prejudice

Literary socks

With World Book Day approaching, we suggest a little fun. Have you ever wondered what socks your favorite literary heroes would choose? We decided to consider which models the Bennet sisters, the heroines of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, would bet on. On the pages of one of the most popular romances of all time were written the stories of five sisters, each of whom is distinguished by quite a different character and approach to life. The eldest, Jane, is a woman of incredible beauty and even more spectacular goodness. Her unique grace is perfectly reflected in the retro dot socks. This is an extremely sweet model, which at the same time was broken with stronger lines that could represent the distance from herself that Jane possesses. The middle sister, Mary, is a conservative who lives by set rules and doesn't quite accept the behavior of both younger and older sisters. We think Mary would go for the classic black wool socks, which have a timeless classy feel to them and provide incredible comfort. The two youngest sisters, Kitty and Lydia, are real volcanoes of energy who love to be the center of attention. For such energetic characters, neon socks are a perfect match. The extroverted Lydia would certainly opt for neon socks with patterns, while for the slightly calmer Kitty would fall for plain neon socks. That still leaves the novel's main character and second-ranked sister. Elizabeth Bennet is a woman of indomitable character who is not afraid to shirk the roles imposed on her. If she had lived in modern times, she could have become the embodiment of a person fighting for equality and rights for women. That's why we think the colorful socks created in cooperation with the National Organization of the Flower of Womanhood are the most fitting for the bookish Lizzy. The model is intended as a reminder of the importance of preventive examinations for women. In addition, part of the income from the sale of the product is donated to the Organization.

Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice can be called a cultural phenomenon. The novel was published in 1813 and has enjoyed enduring popularity ever since. It is a timeless romance that is also considered one of the first social and moral novels. Along with the Bennet sisters, the next generation of women grows up, and the fascination of the mysterious Mr. Darcy awakens in their hearts. Jane Austen chose the life of the English upper classes at the turn of the 18th century as the novel's backdrop. All this was laced with a touch of humor and apt psychological observations. The initial version of the title was: First Impressions. Jane Austen firmly believed that sometimes first impressions can be very misleading and one should not judge another person based on them. It is the romance plot that makes Pride and Prejudice still evoke extraordinary emotions. The two main characters - Lizzy Bennet and Mr. Darcy are both flawed individuals, making it much easier for the reader to sympathize with them. The characters are wrong and often regret their decisions, and in many cases are guided by emotions instead of reason. It's no surprise, then, that filmmakers have been inspired by Jane Austen's work for years, seeing in it both literary and cinematic potential. One of the most popular works inspired by Pride and Prejudice is Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding. The book and its film adaptation have gained extraordinary popularity. The most successful adaptations of Pride and Prejudice are the 1995 BBC miniseries and the 2005 film directed by Joe Wright.
