Because of the success of her novel, Pride and Prejudice, many producers in the entertainment industry took the original concept and adapted it to appeal to different audiences of today. These adaptations have proven profoundly successful in reaching both Jane Austen fans and the general public. In an attempt to analyze the techniques of adapting one of Austen’s novels, I created my own pastiche. Although my scene treatment, Deep Thoughts, limited the audience to understanding only the similar events of chapter 54, there are several changes I made for my adaptation in the novel as a whole.

Biermann is only concerned that her daughters will find husbands who have high social status which includes husband at the time a steady job, connections with various people, and respected by the community. The fortune or financial inheritance is not a large concern for the people of 1950’s New York society.

These famous individuals would attract a large number of the youthful and popular culture in the same way people were attracted to Becoming Jane because of Anne Hathaway. In conclusion, my adaptation would be appealing in the entertainment industry because of the actors and
