Authors : Mostefaoui Youcef Zineddine . Hamza Reguig Mouro Wassila .

Abstract

Fiction is, for once, a means to communicate ideas, process lives, and study individuals. It is mostly based on daily life experiences, witnessed by individuals on a quotidian basis. Accordingly, experiences mutate and are altered and so does fiction that reports them. At times, as in life, multitudinous happenings and seem to be a Déjà vu, yet, the angle of perception changes which requires going back to ancient writs with similarities necessitated to grasp the matter and substitute the lenses with which these specific writings are seen and discussed. A grand instance is Jane Austen’s most re-imagined Pride and Prejudice. The present article holds the attempt to clarify retellings as well as to find responses as to what end are reworks utilized? And why this unending set of re-imaginations of Pride and Prejudice?
