Maybe for people with a short attention span, like those who prefer the movie. There is a whole lot more to the book than that one section and the deeper meaning is better captured in the original title.


Sure, but if Pride and Predjudice had been instead titled "Do unmarried women of a certain age have a chance at happiness with arrogant rich *****" it's a lot less likely it would have done as well.



And even less well had it been called "Maid Runner".
