Poema S8 034 | Sarah Kimble on Pride & Prejudice and Autism

Published: Oct. 17, 2022, 4:31 p.m.

b'Today I\'m joined by Sarah Kimble, as we continue my exploration of pop culture with a discussion on the book / movie "Pride & Prejudice".\\xa0\\nWe explore the cultural context it was written and how this impacts how we read and interact with the story and characters.\\nWe also discuss the character of Mr Darcy and make the argument that he may well be autistic, and explore examples of this, and how this would explain much of his character and his behaviour/interactions in the book. We also talk about how that can help us understand the story and have more empathy with him. This was such a fun episode, with some great insights. Hope you enjoy it!'
