I mean, they don’t really touch. Women don’t shake hands with men, you know. So the first time Darcy touches Elizabeth is when he helps her into the carriage which is a really beautiful moment because it’s the first skin on skin touch, and i think today… we don’t think twice about that at all, you know. I shake peoples hand. I give them a kiss. Whatever. It’s sort of really interesting to think actually if you don’t have that sort of tactile nature how important one touch can be. - Keira Knightley, Pride and Prejudice: Behind the scenes
