| Pride and Prejudice and Zombies | comment |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a 2009 parody novel by Seth Grahame-Smith that is, for all intents and purposes, Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Really.Grahame-Smith took the original text of Pride and Prejudice, and spiced it up a little with Shaolin Kung Fu, katanas, and the "unmentionables," or zombies. However, the basic story is remarkably unchanged.A prequel titled Dawn of the Dreadfuls was released in 2010; a Spiritual Successor written by another author, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, was released less than a year after the novel; and a sequel, Dreadfully Ever After, was released in 2011 and wraps up the whole story. Both the prequel and sequel were written by Steve Hockensmith; he was brought in to write the prequel as Grahame-Smith was busy writing Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.A film adaptation starring Lily James, Sam Riley, Matt Smith, Lena Headey and Charles Dance, with Natalie Portman as one of the producers (she was originally attached to star as well) was released in February 2016.With many more books putting genre twists on pre-existing literature, characters or figures being released following this novel's success, it is now considered the Trope Maker of Literary Mash-Ups.Has been known to show up on the "classic literature" shelves at Target. | |

Dirty Coward: In Dawn of the Dreadfuls Master Hawksworth frequently makes excuses to avoid fighting, and the one time he does join a battle he panics, steals another soldier's horse, and rides for his life, abandoning a hundred soldiers to be eaten by the zombie horde. | |

Katanas Are Just Better: Other weapons are used, and boot knives are more ladylike, but you can't beat a katana. Even if you trained in a Shaolin temple in China. | |

Ensign Newbie | |

Ensign Newbie: Two appear in Dawn of the Dreadfuls. Captain Cannon's adjutant, Lieutenant Tindall, is in his twenties and is a brave yet rigid and untested officer who views Stay in the Kitchen so-called chivalry as more important than effective fighting. Ensign Pratt, the third-in-command of the newly arrived soldiers, is a very short and youthful officer who faints the first time he sees a zombie killed up close. | |

Skewed Priorities: The period-piece romantic comedy portions are still kept mostly intact.

Honor Before Reason: The girls often forgo carrying weapons or combat attire to uphold propriety, which means they frequently run into danger or "enemies" unarmed. Elizabeth at one point ties her dress with a modesty string so she can do hand stands without the skirt falling. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word: Played with. Zombies are sometimes referred to as "zombies", but if a character is being proper, they call them "unmentionables" or similar. In the film, they just go ahead and say zombies. 'Unmentionables' is only said once by Jane. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |

Adaptational Attractiveness: The film does this with a few characters. Charlotte Lucas is meant to be very plain in the book, and she only accepts Mr. Collins's proposal because she feels she'll never get another. She's very cute in the movie. Mr. Collins is played by Matt Smith in the film, though in this case it's his personality that's off-putting. Lady Catherine is usually portrayed as an elderly woman. Here she's played by Lena Headey, placing her in her forties at the oldest. Mrs. Bennet is a little younger and prettier in the film than she usually is. In the book, she's meant to be I Was Quite a Looker. | |

Redshirt Army: In Dawn of the Dreadfuls, Captain Cannon's company is made up of young men who wear red uniforms and flee from their first several battles. Save for their surgeon and possibly a few men who were wounded earlier, they are wiped out in the last act (albeit during a Hold the Line Suicide Mission, and in a surprisingly fierce Do Not Go Gentle manner). Averted with Lord Paget's regiment in the climax of the same book, who are a Badass Army of cavalrymen, musketeers, and ninjas and also act as The Cavalry. | |

SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror | |
| Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_5a62e8d0 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror: The film is definitely balanced. As it's mashing a romantic comedy with a zombie invasion, most of the original comedy from the book is intact. Horror elements are mostly played straight, such as the reveal that Wickham is raising a zombie army. However there are many moments that are Played for Laughs in a straight-laced way - as Darcy's Anguished Declaration of Love becomes a kung-fu fight between him and Lizzie. | |

Zombie Apocalypse | |
| Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_60414102 | comment |
Zombie Apocalypse: Averted. Zombies are somewhere between a nuisance and an enemy army in terms of threat. Also, they appear to be confined to England. (Which makes sense considering that Great Britain is an island and zombies probably wouldn't be able to swim.) The setting is functionally a Cosy Catastrophe played for laughs. Other than always traveling in well armed groups at all times to survive random zombie attacks (especially after winter), the characters all live comfortable lives for British middle/upper classes. It should be mentioned though that in the backstory, zombies have completely overtaken Manchester and in the present repeatedly break down the gate of London Sector Six East. England has survived and made gains against them, but they are still a great enough threat that two can take out an entire kitchen staff. | |

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality | |
| Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_6ad1eeb8 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: This series falls somewhere between a 3 and 4. It is set in patriarchal regency England, but women are by no means disregarded or not considered important or useful people. And of course, there are female warriors like the Bennets and Lady Catherine who smash the contemporary gender stereotypes to bits. Unmarried female warriors are begrudgingly accepted by society, but for a married woman to carry a sword would be an affront not only to her husband, but to "all English manhood". Most the gender inequality shows up in people mistakenly underestimating or pigeonholing the Bennets. | |

Better to Die than Be Killed | |

Better to Die than Be Killed: In Dawn of the Dreadfuls Lt. Tindale swears that he will never let himself become a zombie. True to his word, when the battle becomes hopeless, he takes a last look at the window where the Bennet girls are watching and shoots himself in the head. In Dreadfully Ever After it is mentioned that Lady Catherine has a specific sword that she keeps to commit harakiri with in the case that she ever contract the "strange plague". In the same book, Darcy intends to use that sword on himself after he is infected and realizes that no one can stop him becoming a monster. However, that isn't how it ends. | |

Feminist Fantasy | |
| Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_9f74002a | comment |
Feminist Fantasy: Well as the original book was already quite feminist for its time, turning the five Bennett sisters into zombie hunters - and making Lady Catherine a veteran warrior - results in this. The women usually save the men more often than the other way around. | |

Not So Stoic: Several characters have their moments, most noticeably Elizabeth as she is both the main viewpoint character and because she spends so much time maintaining a stoic appearance. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Regency England is far more brutal than it was in real life, likely a result of the plague. Duels to the death are common, and servants are often savagely beaten. | |

Adaptational Karma | |
| Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_ca69cb4d | comment |
Adaptational Karma: In the original Pride and Prejudice, Wickham is something of a Karma Houdini. He gambles, contracts massive debts, and gets them paid off by almost marrying Georgiana and having Darcy hush it up, and later on actually marrying Lydia after eloping to keep it quiet (though marrying Lydia may be the far worse punishment). In this book, he's crippled for life and left to the care of Lydia, who herself has no concept of the fate in store for her. | |

Stereo Fibbing: In the prequel, two human villains try to keep people from going down to a wine cellar where they have several the bodies of murder victims hidden, and simultaneously say that no one can go there because the cellar is flooded and the roof caved in. Even then, they might have gotten away with it in the panic (there are zombies besieging the place) if not for a suspicious servant calling out the lie. | |

In Dreadfully Ever After it is mentioned that Lady Catherine has a specific sword that she keeps to commit harakiri with in the case that she ever contract the "strange plague". In the same book, Darcy intends to use that sword on himself after he is infected and realizes that no one can stop him becoming a monster. However, that isn't how it ends. | |
