Characters in books might seem different to the reader when they watch the movie. Long ago I read Harry Potter: and the Chamber of Secrets, I read it before watching any of the movies and I had a different view of Hermione Granger, one of the main characters. I imagined her like a geek (phisically). In the movie she is a geek mentally but phisically she is not. Even her name changed I thought it was said Ger-me-on instead of Her-ma-yo-nie. In other cases like in the Twilight saga I imagined an Edward similar to the one of the movie and it did not do a lot of difference.
When I read Pride & Prejudice, I had a different view of Mrs. Bennet. Eventhough in the movie she appears as a selfish, superficial and proud women but, Wright (director) showed her as a women with long and dirty clothes. My prediction of Mrs. Bennet in the movie was of a classy tall women but Wright showed her as a small and anoying women. However the role that Brenda Bethlyn played as Mrs. Bennet was very good. For example when she is telling Mr. Bennet that Elizabeth rejected Mr. Collins proposal and wanted Mr. Bennet to "Come and talk to her..." she is so worried about that, she will try to do anything to get her daughter married .
On the other hand Jane (Rosamund Pike) was what I expected. She is sensible, for example when she recived Mr. Bingley`s letter. The description used in the book "..." is very similar to the one in the movie. She looks like something had stabbed her and her world ended. In the movie we can see how she didn`t feel that coming eventhough we actually do not know if she really loves Mr. Bingley because in the book never tells.
