Primary

The series focuses on universal themes of individual growth, overcoming personal prejudice, and navigating social relationships, rather than explicitly promoting a partisan political ideology or advocating for systemic political change. Its core conflicts and solutions are primarily social and relational, leading to a neutral rating.

This modern adaptation of a classic novel incorporates significant diversity through its casting choices, explicitly recasting several traditionally white roles with minority actors. The narrative, however, maintains a focus on character-driven romantic and social dynamics without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot beyond the casting.

Secondary

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries features Gigi Darcy, a lesbian character whose identity and relationship are portrayed positively. Her brother and friends are accepting, and her storyline is integrated without conflict or negative stereotypes, contributing to an affirming depiction of LGBTQ+ individuals.

The series adapts Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, where characters like Charles and Caroline Bingley (Bing and Caroline Lee) and Georgiana Darcy (Gigi Darcy) were canonically white. In this adaptation, these characters are portrayed by Asian actors, constituting race swaps.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the romantic and personal lives of its main characters without engaging with transgender identity.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. All major and significant supporting characters from the original novel retain their canonical gender in this adaptation.
