My Review of Pride and Prejudice
Pride must be humbled and prejudices should be dissolved before finding true happiness in one another. By looking for the good in others you could find a new best friend or even a mate for life. Pride and Prejudice, written by Jane Austen, was published by Dover Publications in 1995. It is a fictional novel that is suitable for young adult readers. Pride and Prejudice illustrates the pride of one another , mixed with the prejudices of social classes, and romance between witty human beings.
Pride and Prejudice takes place in a remote Hertfordshire village, far off in the English Country. A country squire and his dramatic wife try every means to marry off their five vivacious daughters. “It is acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” (Austen 1). Each daughter has a different personality with different dreams in mind. This story’s narrative describes English middle-class life. A life with older parents than most people have where marriage is getting to be more like a priority than a heartfelt emotional luxury.
In this novel social classes collide and the pride and prejudice of the characters are resolved by the growing attractions between them. Pride and Prejudice illustrates the challenges love gives you and the quick prejudicial thoughts we think of people before really getting to know a person. This story also shows one how difficult a women’s life was in the past when they relied on marriage to support themselves. For example, all of the sisters would have lost their home if they had not married before Mr. Bennet passed away.
In conclusion, Pride and Prejudice is a literary success. It captures one’s attention with wit, love, excitement and hope. It shows us to look past someone’s social status and to give people a second chance. “Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now. But in cases as these, a good memory is unpardonable. This is the last time I shall ever remember it myself” (Austen 251). This is a loving and wholesome story that requires a person to think of the optimistic side of someone they once judged negatively and to consider giving someone a second chance.
