Insult & Banality

It seems that the latest film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice was given a different ending for its American audience, described by Alessandra Stanley as follows: "a swoony moonlit scene of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in dishabille, kissing and cooing in a post-coital clinch."

This final scene in the boudoir, responds a former head of the Jane Austen Society of North America eloquently, "insults the audience with its banality."
