Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
Fiction - Classic
Published by Penguin Popular Classics 1994
...Like so many other Austen fans, my favourite novel is Pride and Prejudice as it highlights Jane Austen’s finesse and genius. Austen’s novel is not only a comedy of manners and morals, for she also plays with the passionate hearts of her characters. The fact that the love and contentment between the two main characters is strong enough to overcome his overpowering pride and her prejudices, produces a truly romantic tale. Although Mr Darcy is presumed conceited and Elizabeth is spirited, we notice from the beginning that they are well suited.
In instances along the way, the true wit of Elizabeth Bennet and her father certainly affords a great many laughs. In addition, we find ourselves; disapproving of Mr Wickham, disgusted by the slithering Mr Collins, frustrated by Bingley’s sisters, and laughing at the simple and naive Mrs Bennet. Happiness is obtained at long last when the characters conquer fortune, class, and ruin, in order to finally join together.
