rich but with poor social characters thus unable to socialize in a good way with the community. The film is all about an advantageous marriage which enjoys several benefits such as the house and the piece of land. The two are normally protected by an agreement that the eldest son in the household of Bennet would become the heir on his probable event of his demise. The main challenge was that since Mr. Bennet had no son, the house and the piece of land was to be given to William Collins, actually their cousin. Thus leaving Mr. Bennet’s family poor. The Pride and the Prejudice BODY Non-verbal ways of communication transit greater information than those verbal ways in pride and prejudice. Language is the symbol of both sound and the meaning. Non- verbal communication doesn’t engage words/speech and emotions are not an exception. In the film, “Pride and Prejudice”, the eye direction that Mr. Darcy gives to the eldest Miss Bennet indicates communicates exactly the message. The look actually was communicating that Mr. Bingley was actually enjoying the real dance with the only handsome lady in the entire room. Both Miller (1984) and Eisenberg & Smith (1971) accepted the fact that non-verbal ways of communicating is better in the revealing of the emotions. In
addition, words only convey around 7% of feelings whereas almost 93% of the remaining communication is normally passed through non-verbal communication. The eye-contact that happened between Elizabeth and Darcy communicated a lot. You can boldly see Darcy looking at Elizabeth and after sometime Darcy says that “She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me…” (Austen, 1983) The facial expression extended to the body movements and the fact that Darcy does not find Elizabeth as that handsome to tempt him is also in support with the film theme of Pride and Prejudice. The facial expressions reveal the character of Darcy as arrogant. Lydia in the film also shows off the ring to Mr. Goulding by pulling off her glove so that Mr. Goulding can see the ring. She in fact puts her hand on the window so that Goulding can clearly see it from a distant. This was according to their social culture that in the Western countries, people had to put on the rings to signify that they were legally married. Lydia moreover walks to the right hand of her mother and then told her eldest sister that she had taken her place. This was a
symbol according to the Britain culture that when a lady The Pride and the Prejudice comes and sits at the right hand, it meant that Jane had to be very much lower than her sister. That is why in the film, Lydia tells Jane that she now takes her place in the right hand place of the mother. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the study communication deals with all the means that the human beings can pass information and incorporate both actions and feelings. Non-verbal ways of passing information such as facial expressions are very critical in communication. In the film Pride and Prejudice, the non- verbal communication apart from passing the required information, they are also used to display the character’s feelings and the social norms and position.
