Death Comes To Pemberley is a thriller written by P.D. James. It is also a non-official sequel to Pride and Prejudice, which treats themes such as justice in the 19th century and misogyny on a rather interesting way.Six years after Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet and Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley married, Elizabeth enjoys her bliss, organizes the ball her mother-in-law created so long ago and makes sure everything will be perfect when Lydia, her younger sister, arrives panicked at Pemberley, and spoils everything.Well, it isn't really her fault, but she heard gunshots in the woods where her husband and his friend were wandering and she is understandably worried. A rescue expedition organized by Mr. Darcy reassures everyone on the state of her husband. He was simply found drunk, cradling his friend's corpse...In the meantime, Georgiana enjoys a Betty and Veronica love triangle, Fitzwilliam Darcy works on his Guilt Complex and Elizabeth chronicles how so many characters Took a Level in Jerkass between the events of the two books, making them all suspects.Of course, it could still get worse. Lady Catherine de Bourgh could decide to meddle in this, or Mr Collins to write a letter... Then, the Godzilla Threshold would certainly be hit.Adapted into a 2013 BBC television film starring Matthew Rhys as Darcy and Anna Maxwell Martin as Elizabeth. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Death Comes to Pemberley / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The BBC version is quite a bit more violent and melodramatic than the original novel. It makes Darcy's great-grandfather into a wastrel who squandered his money, when in the novel he was simply an antisocial recluse. In the book, Will only struck Denny once, and did not pursue him. Lizzie's overnight journey from Pemberley bearing Will's confession does not occur; instead, the letter is brought into the court by the local Vicar. Similarly, this letter arrives after the jury has reached its verdict, but before the judge has pronounced sentence; Wickham is not saved in the nick of time from the gallows, but is simply sent back to his prison cell to wait a day until a Royal Pardon can be arranged. Finally, the hanging of Thomas Reilly is simply mentioned, and not actually witnessed by Darcy and Wickham. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Death Comes to Pemberley / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: In the book, George Wickham had Mommy Issues and was a loving brother to his illegitimate half-sister, though he remained unfaithful and jerkish as ever. Mr. Darcy had a generous but proud mother, Lydia became a loving wife (just as in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen) but was jealous of her sister Elizabeth for attracting Wickham's interest at first. Colonel Fitzwilliam / Vicount Hartlep had a lot of consideration for class, which caused him to despise people he found beneath him once he became a Viscount. | |

Crisis Crossover: George Wickham worked for Sir Walter Eliot, and while Sir Walter flirted with his Lydia, he flirted with Sir Walter's daughter Elizabeth. Anne Eliot is described as "having made a prosperous and happy marriage", and Sir Walter's financial situation has improved so much that he threw his poor occupants out and returned to the Elliott's family home. Harriet Martin and Emma Woodhouse both wrote to Colonel Fitzwilliam, and finally succeeded in convincing him to let Harriet take George Wickham's son at home. | |

Skewed Priorities: It is a part of the Deliberate Values Dissonance which gets even more stressed on for the villainous and mean characters. It is hard to say whether Sir Selwyn Hardcastle has this or is ironic. Lydia seems to want to go the ball despite her husband and her friend being lost in the woods, where someone shot something. | |

Alternative Character Interpretation: Averted with the characters in the book, who only get Hidden Depths. Played hilariously straight in-universe, with Meryton inhabitants considering Mrs. Bennet as a Diabolical Mastermind, Mr. Darcy as a complete Jerkass, and both Lizzie and Jane as one big Gold Digger family, the first gaining a reputation of Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. A tenant from an inn in Meryton sees Lydia as a Plucky Girl who is adept at Brutal Honesty. | |

Dramatic Irony: Lydia slanders Lizzie near the beginning of the book, claiming that she only married Darcy for his money, while Lydia married for love, completely oblivious to the fact that Wickham had to be bribed by Darcy into not leaving Lydia and ruining her reputation, an act that caused Lizzie to realise she was in love with Darcy. Captain Denny is murdered by Will Bidwell, who believes that Denny is the man who impregnated and abandoned his sister. It turns out that Denny was actually trying to warn the Bidwells of Wickham's plot to take Louisa's baby away from her to be adopted by Mrs. Younge, whether or not Louisa agreed. | |

Loners Are Freaks: In the original novel, Darcy's great-grandfather was not a hedonist who squandered the family fortune, but a recluse who had the forest lodge built and lived there with only his dog Soldier as company. This is also considered to be of bad character, as he did not take the responsibilities expected of the owner of Pemberley. | |

Metaphorically True: When Wickham is found in the woods, he cries out that he has killed Denny. Denny had exited the chaise because he refused to go along with Wickham's plan to essentially abduct his son from the boy's mother and hand him over to Mrs. Younge. When Denny approached the Bidwell's house, Will struck him in the head, causing him to die from a fall. | |

Comes Great Responsibility | |
| Death Comes to Pemberley / int_d581ba71 | comment |
Comes Great Responsibility: This is a central tenet of being a Darcy according to Fitzwilliam. In the film version, his great-grandfather was a wastrel who plunged the family into debt and this greatly colors how Fitzwilliam sees Georgiana's relationship with Henry Alveston. When Wickham is put on trial for murder, Fitzwilliam tries to push Georgiana towards Colonel Fitzwilliam in hopes of securing a more financially stable future for her in case Georgiana's reputation is ruined by Darcy's in-law connection with Wickham. | |

| Death Comes to Pemberley / int_ead0869d | comment |
Acquitted Too Late: Narrowly averted. In the film version, Lizzie is told she may be too late even if she does get through the dangers of traveling to Derby alive at night, but thanks to a guide she defies all odds and delivers a written confession that the now-deceased Will killed Captain Denny accidentally, having mistaken him for Louise's rapist, on time for the very judge who had earlier condemned George to the gallows to now order that George be taken down at the last second. Immediately after the rope is removed from his neck, and as he's taken down from the gallows, George watches the other condemned men suffer the very fate from which he had just been spared. | |

Accidental Murder | |
| Death Comes to Pemberley / int_fd497706 | comment |
Accidental Murder: In the original novel Will struck a single blow with the poker to Captain Denny's face. Blinded by blood, Denny stumbled backwards and tripped, hitting the back of his head on a gravestone. He only managed to crawl a short distance before this second wound proved fatal. | |
