The movie was a cute romance story for me, but the book was a whole profile of the 19th century english society, it had so many nuances and subtleties regarding human interaction and hierarchy. And the way Austen presents that is so well done, exactly because she "tells" and doesn't "show". She passes the norms and customs to you subtly and conditions your mind to perceive things from the perspective of the people living in that era.
