It takes a special degree of skill to write a parody like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and still hold true to the essence and feel of the original. I think that was accomplished. I suppose it's cheating if your goal is "original literature". If your goal is "make a classic more appealing to the newer generations" or "entertain" or, honestly, just to write a funny version of a classic...I don't think it's cheating.
You have to define the game your playing before you can call "Cheating"

Mary's still presented as better than Lydia and their mother. Kind of.

See, I keep thinking Jane Austen books are "chick lit" but I like them anyway.

Could someone explain to me why Jane Austen's prose is considered good?

Dialogue, wit, characters. The plot and descriptive prose are merely functional, true.
