My curated selection of Pride and Prejudice memes for maximum delight
A scrolling session you won't regret
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a girl in possession of a Wi-Fi connection must be in want of a good meme. The first time I stumbled upon a Pride and Prejudice meme, it felt like a jackpot. TWO things I love in the same body? Get outta here! Today I want to share some of my favourites with you, because the other day I read a note about how you should just blog about the things you love without any expectation, and that’s kind of the space I want to create here. And also because August is really terrible for essays in terms of email openings and newsletter engagement, because everyone is following my advice and having a fantastic summer offline (you guys!).
Three very important things P&P related
1 - If not now, WHEN am I going to show you that I actually have Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy’s replica bust from the 2005 movie?? Because I am terrible with money, I bought it online from Chatsworth House as a Valentine’s Day present for myself during my first one in Edinburgh in 2021, to manifest my own Mr. Darcy. (I know, cheesy!!). I met Hervé one month later. Coincidence? I DON’T THINK SO.
2 - I went to a Regency Afternoon Tea at the beginning of the month, organised by my friend Nicole at the Grand Cafe in Edinburgh. It was fun! Some girls made their own dresses, and they were gorgeous.
3 - Dolly Alderton is adapting Pride and Prejudice for Netflix (Do we need it? Not really, but she is one of my favourite writers, so I can’t wait to see the result). The first look of the Bennet sisters and Mrs Bennet (Olivia Colman!) is already here.
And now the memes
I hope you like reading this post as much as I enjoyed putting it together! And please send my way any other P&P memes you love…
I just watched P&P last night (the 2005 version, i.e. the best one...no, I will not be taking questions at this time), so the algorithm did me right today! The snake one made me cackle.
