Pride & Prejudice BTS - The Politics of 18th Century Dating (2005) - Keira Knightley Movie HD

in the 18th century they were probably you know because there were wolves you could argue it's actually a better time to me today it's all broken down entirely and we don't know what to do though we meet each other I mean are we shaking hands are we kissing one gqo we kissing two cheeks are we not doing anything are we slapping each other on the back nobody knows what it's all broken down how'd you do it now there are no rules the most acceptable way to behave was looking as though you didn't want a husband even though you did but you know the human nature being what it was and women and men had to find ways of attracting each other and letting somebody else know that that was acceptable and and an awful lot of this would have happened on the dance floor must have been me is it true that you have promised to hold a ball here at led a few a ball dancing was absolutely central to their society in terms of finding a good husband and a good wife when you went to a dance or was it a spontaneous dance at the end of a party you would almost always be in the presence of your parents and so if you think about how you want to be a hit with your mower or dad watching and there's always codes of conduct between young people when courting we like to think that is throwing off the shackles of etiquette but everything that's true that was very defined very clear and really helpful I think looking back it's really you know you stand up when the lady walks into the room and you bow I think nowadays we think of it as very sort of repressed or over formalized slide I kind of quite like that I think it I think it gives us something else I think it gives it I think it's actually quite releasing you know the fact that it's difficult to talk to someone who you are in love with is brilliantly highlighted in the etiquette of Austen's period where you actually physically weren't allowed to talk to them alone except for when you're dancing that's the only time you're really allowed to get inside be able to be able to use those dancers in that way was was a great way of forming collisions between the character do you think you could try and do it three times through within that set you men and women rel to be together without a chaperone for long periods of time and they were able to talk to each other that's why the the idea of balls were actually really exciting for them it's done when I cycle because you could go and you could dance with like the butcher's son which is someone you on a normal day you would never be able to just approach and talk to on the street where the next dance Miss Elizabeth May you're only allowed to have the physical contact in the dance then dancing with somebody is electric it's so charged and it's having a having that formal structure especially the dance you know playing the little moments in between two people in that very formal structure I mean they don't really touch they don't women don't shake hands with men you know so the first time Darcy touches Elizabeth is when he helps her into the carriage star safest Elizabeth which is a really beautiful moment because it's the first skin-on-skin touch and I think today you know we don't think twice about that at all you know I shake people's hand I give them a kiss whatever it's sort of really interesting to think actually if you don't have that sort of tactile nature how how important one touch can be I suppose just coming up someone going off on to you here's my number
