When print versions are produced over and over again, as long as the words are not altered, then the personality is retained; however, when the novel is turned into something different, just as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is, then the resemblance to the authentic piece is distorted. It is clear that in reference to the original novel, Pride and Prejudice, reproductions can do both enhance and disrupt the "authenticity." As Walter Benjamin argues how film and media will cause the authority of a piece to be degraded, Marciniak stands on the opposition claiming that they can work if they retain the spirit. The 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice proves Marciniak's point while the zombie production stands behind Benjamin. Underneath all of these reproductions lies the basis of the "aura" by still playing off the ideas presented in the original novel and during the time period it was created in.
