Now, in the movie “Bridget Jones Diary”, Mark Darcy is played by none other but Colin Firth.
In the book, she is given an opportunity to interview him. Numerous times, Bridget refers to Colin Firth and how she loves the scene in “Pride & Prejudice” where he leaps into the pond. There’s one point in the book that puts a whole blur on reality and art is the actor, Colin Firth. The height of which leaves her in a Thai female prison singing Madonna songs in her undergarments for the other inmates. It doesn’t spoil the end to let your know that she does find her way back to Mark Darcy-that’s inevitable-however, the adventure getting there is the real joy of this audiobook. Her mishaps are on a grander scale this year-including several run-ins with the police, a death threat, and involvement in an international drug ring. But this time, she knows she wants Mark Darcy, but getting him back become quite the problem.īridget faces many challenges and new exciting adventures such as a botched remodeling attempt in her flat that does nothing but leave a large gaping hole in the wall for the rest of the world to see and an interview with Colin Firth in which she obsesses of his part as Mr. She still looks the same, weighs the same, smokes the same amount of cigarettes, drinks the same amount of alcohol, and is still single. It almost seems that since the previous year, nothing has really changed for her. So it’s back to the world of self-help books and her fellow singletons, all of which preach different “must do” tactics to happiness and yet they have not achieved such happiness either. So Bridget returns to the world of singletons, still deathly scared of dying alone in her flat only to be found half-eaten by wolves.

BRIDGET JONES EDGE OF REASON PARDON ME HOW TO
In fact, these self-help books bring about Bridget’s demise, for some many different books professing often conflicting philosophies and how to achieve “happiness”-that her actions resulting from said influence, almost always backfire. Her elation doesn’t so much fade but morphs into a bit of neurosis as she and her single friends (singletons) analyzed every word and action of Mark Darcy with the assistance of numerous self-help books. We find dear Bridget still working away at her diary in the new year and dancing on cloud nine now that she is currently going out with Mark Darcy. “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” picks up shortly after that and asks “What does happen in happily ever after?” The couple gets together in the third act, but what happens in the fourth act? Helen Fielding answers this by showing the listener that happily ever after does not always work out the way we expected.
For those who read (or listened, or watched) the first book, Bridget Jones Diary, you’ll remember the story ends with Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy in a typical “Happily Ever After” scenario.
A social klutz to no end, but you can’t help but to smile and love the poor girl. Bridget Jones is that dear friend that we all know who manages to somehow just mess things up, without even trying.
