In the main videos Charlotte, Jane, and Lydia were often relegated to supporting Lizzie in telling her own story. To get a better sense of each of their own personal stories, it's necessary to look to their larger online footprint. For Lydia, that footprint took the form of a competing channel that frequently provided direct commentary on Lizzie's videos, and introduced another side of Lydia through her interactions with Mary and Kitty on the channel.
Jane's online presence through her LookBook account helped her cultivate her interest in the fashion industry, leading to opportunities that filtered back up to the dominant narrative in the main channel. With Charlotte, the focus centered on her efforts mentoring her younger sister Maria. Fitz William and Gigi Darcy's online activities provided some of the most meaningful opportunities for fans, as both characters openly watched The Lizzie Bennet Diaries , and shipped Lizzie and Darcy "Dizzie", as they liked to call the pair as a couple.
While fans couldn't take concrete actions to throw the two together, Fitz and Gigi could serve as a voice for the fans through their reactions to the evolving love-hate relationship shared by the two. As the growing cast of characters met each other, their online profiles created an underlying lattice of social interactions that informed the show's progress and added depth to the characters.
Caroline Lee's most humanizing moment in a series that generally thrust her into antagonistic roles was a Twitter conversation about her near-disasterous efforts to prepare a Thanksgiving feast for her friends.
While the Lizzie Bennet fan community often referred to as "Seahorses" did not possess the agency to change the events of a year old story, they did embrace the opportunity to interact heavily with the characters through the communication channels carved out for them in the narrative.
And their creative efforts spilled out onto other platforms, with nearly every episode seeing popular moments transformed into animated gifs. Fans filmed — video homages to the series, drew fan art , created Valentine's Day cards , and set up an online discussion group enabling fans to read the book and watch the series in tandem.
One fan with a sense of humor even uploaded a "Regency-era fanfic" of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries by copying and pasting the first chapter of Pride and Prejudice. While the budding romance between Lizzie and Darcy was pivotal to The Lizzie Bennet Diaries , its true strength was in fleshing out many of the minor characters in Pride and Prejudice through the transmedia elements making audiences familiar with the story consider alternate readings of the source material, and new inductees to the world of Austen to turn to the text for the first time.
Accordingly, it's fitting that Lizzie's last video was not the true end for The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Surprisingly, I disagree! I have not exactly been a cheerleader for the past few episodes more on this in a second , but I thought this was a really cute way to close out the series.
Since Lydia's wellbeing was all ever I cared about in this series, this pleases me greatly. Charlotte gets some closure, too, starting to run the show at Collins and Collins while Mr. Bennet make a surprise cameo at the end. For me, this was a perfect way to close out the series. Admittedly, part of the reason this worked for me is that I was ready for the series to be over. They are light, bright and sparkling, just as Jane Austen describes Pride and Prejudice, yet they also have serious modern themes that are relevant today and make the story more accessible to younger generations.
Bing comes back. Bing does try to make amends by bringing Jane snicker-doodle cookies like she made him right after they broke up. Before their relationship really gets underway again, Jane gets a job offer from New York. Instead he asks if he can go with her.
He confesses that he quit medical school several months ago because he was so unhappy, so he too is looking to make a fresh start in NYC.
Lizzie is shocked by these allegations but turns the tables on Caroline. Caroline came up with a convoluted plan to have another guy kiss Jane right when Darcy was looking. This is what made Bing break up with Jane in the first place and it was all because of Caroline. Caroline also accuses Lizzie of trying to seduce Darcy. Yet again Lizzie and Lydia have some adorable moments in these episodes. In episode 94 Lydia tells Lizzie that Darcy was responsible for the website publicizing the release of her private video with George Wickham being taken down.
He bought the company that was releasing the video and shut it down. Lydia hints that Darcy must still have feelings for Lizzie otherwise he would have no reason to go through all of the trouble of buying an entire company to taking down the video. Lizzie and Lydia are continuing to get to know each other again.
They are very sweet sisters. She thanks him from her whole family for taking that video down. At that point Lizzie kisses him. Take control and get what you want!
Amen to that. I applaud Lizzie for making the first move like that and going in for the kiss. Darcy and Lizzie Dizzy as fans call them proceed to kiss a lot more throughout the episode, and it is super adorable. I was in the middle before I knew it has begun.
