If you mean the awesome 1995 BBC adaptation, Elizabeth Bennet was played by Jennifer Ehle and Darcy was played by Colin Firth. If you mean the 2005 version, Elizabeth Bennet was played by Keira Knightley.

Pride and Prejudice really has two protagonists: Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Mr. Darcy doesn't appear, in person, in very many 'scenes', but in spirit, he's the the book's raison d'etre, the reason, directly or indirectly, for all the other action.

Pride and Prejudice is, first and foremost, a novel of manners. It is set in early 19th century England and concerns the fates of the five unmarried daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (particularly one Elizabeth Bennet). The book deals with manners, morality, society, education, marriage, friendship, family, and other important subjects. It is still extremely popular centuries after its publication and has been made into countless film sand television series.

There may be different views on this.

Clearly, the protagonist is Elizabeth Bennet. The antagonist would therefore be the person she is opposed by.

Darcy comes to mind first, but he is certainly not the antagonist at the end of the novel, as he has provided for Lydia's marriage, has been proven to be a decent person, and Lizzy has fallen in love with him, all making him a sort of hero.

Wickham might be considered an antagonist, as he turns out to be a sort of villain. The problem with this is that his villainy is directed at Lizzy's sister, rather than Lizzy, so they are not really so much in opposition to each other.

A good choice for an antagonist might be Miss Bingley, who disrupts Jane's love life and separates both Bingley from Jane and Darcy from Elizabeth. The problem with this idea is that Lizzy does not really care about Miss Bingley except that she has made Jane unhappy.

I would say that there is no antagonist. If we expect one, we are bound to be surprised by the novel. And that might be one of its strengths - it surprises the reader. Of course, it might be nice to get other people's views.

Mr Bennet is an odd character in Pride and Prejudice.

While one sees him as a good character at first, through a thorough reading we can see that he is really quite indifferent to those around him, and not as good as he seems.

He cares little for his wife and children, preferring to mock them, apart from his favourite, Elizabeth. He also spends much of his time in his hiding place, the library, and lets his wife deal with the household.

There are many sequels to Pride and Prejudice, but none written by the original author, Jane Austen.Examples include Mr. Darcy's Daughters, and Exploits and Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy by Elizabeth Aston; Pemberley: Or Pride and Prejudice Continued and An Unequal Marriage: Or Pride and Prejudice Twenty Years Later by Emma Tennant.

What is the difference between the movies Bride and Prejudice and Pride and Prejudice?

The difference would be the report itself. Elizabeth has a much stronger personality in the book then she does in the movie. As well as in the book the mother is more over the top. Lastly, and most important, in the book they never kiss on the lips, and in the movie they do (Which may seem small, but it's symbolism, and it's pretty much all about the problem of the novel and exagerates the thyme.)As well as the report it's self is the difference would be the fact that the is much more detailed conversation in the book than the movie. There is also the sheer fact that movies never do grip a book entirely because most movies can't have everything books do(because the time of a movie has to be reasonable.)
