My concept explores the prevalent themes of my favourite novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. At first, Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy is judged negatively, but ultimately is seen for who he truly is. It is a common misconception that his character changes throughout the book because he falls in love; I believe it is our perspective of him that changes. This relates to the prevalent theme: first impressions, the novel’s initial title. The characters are judged quickly, and initial impressions often turn out to be false. The design process started from exploring Darcy’s personality traits and the semiotics behind them. I also explored the idea of garments not being worn or constructed properly. This represents revealing what is underneath and showing one’s true character. Darcy’s behaviour is unexpected, which reflects the prejudices put on him. My main aspiration is to make people think twice; to consider others more thoughtfully.
