Pride and Prejudice analysis.

The first 5 minutes into the film is of the 6 daughters listening in to their mother and fathers conversation about a possible suiter for their daughters. Set in the 19th century there were still strong beliefs about the rights of a woman and in this clip it shows the stereotype the the young girls have had embedded into them since they were young.

Mrs.Bennet trying to persuade her husband to visit the man who must marry one of their daughters states that "For we may not visit if you do not as you well know Mr. Bennet!" His wife seems far more insistent that her daughters must marry off than Mr Bennet himself.
Later in the scene the daughters get excited about possible marriage with a man whom they have never met or know much about a tradition they must be custom to in their upper class status. They also talk about what they are going to wear and how they are going to look appearance an obviously important matter to them. 
It is a bit like a beauty pageant the girls get all dolled up and parade themselves and the winner gets the prize; the man. 

When the girls eventually meet the man he walks into the hall where they are having a ball and everyone grows silent in his presence. Two of the daughters and another woman exchange conversation about how his friend looks miserable yet he is extremely wealthy implying that he should be happy, another indication of their high class. As he passes by the women lower their heads and curtsy at him.
