Pride and Prejudice and Anxiety

Popcorn Psychology
About this episode
Welcome to Season 5!! We are riding our carriage to Jane Austen’s England to discuss the 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. We are breaking down the theme of Anxiety through the characters of Mrs. Bennett, Mr. Darcy, and Elizabeth Bennett. We explore the difference between anxiety that is a diagnosable disorder vs anxiety brought on by the environment or life changes. We also examine how our values dictate our life choices and the impact of privilege on those choices.
