How does a photo of Mae Clarke from '31 film Frankenstein, have anything to do with Pride and Prejudice?

@JSul3 Because her character shares the first name Elizabeth with Jane Austen’s famous heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, the two are frequently linked in academic comparisons, film trivia, and internet memes. Both characters are defined by their relationships to "difficult" men (Victor/Henry Frankenstein vs. Mr. Darcy) and are central figures in novels that explore the themes of social status and personal judgment.

The most direct link is the 2017 novel "Pride and Prometheus" by John Kessel. This "mashup" book combines the worlds of Jane Austen and Mary Shelley, following a story where Mary Bennet (the middle sister from Pride and Prejudice) meets Victor Frankenstein and his creature.

Because Mae Clarke is the definitive early-cinema face of "Elizabeth" in the Frankenstein universe, her image is often used in articles or fan discussions regarding this crossover.
