Teachers Talk Texts
Each episode, host Clare Mackie discusses a different text from the VCE English text list with a passionate and knowledgeable teacher. The conversation is more than just a plot summary and character profile, rather, teachers discuss textual interpretation, authorial intent, views and values - the complex and deeply interesting aspects of studying literature.

Teachers Talk Pride and Prejudice 2
•
Season 2
•
Episode 9
In this episode, Clare speaks with Kirrily MacRaild about Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'. Both Kirrily and Clare have a long history with this text, first studying it as teenage students, and continuing to engage with it throughout their lifetimes, resulting in a deep appreciation for the characters and their motivations, but also a capacity to reflect on their changing understanding of these characters. The conversation includes an alternate reading of Darcy, once considered rude and arrogant, but perhaps he is just misunderstood.
