Pride and Prejudice

This Jane Austen novel took place in the early 1800′s. It’s a romantic comedy about the pride of a man and the prejudice of a woman.During this  time, the only way for a woman to become wealthy, or acquire her social status is to marry a rich known man.  Thus the books opens with this cynical conception of the value of love - It is a truth universally acknowledged that a gentleman in possession of a good affluence must be in want of a wife.

This novel  is a mimicry of the conflict between the lower class and  higher class of England as they each search for love, but each is baffled by pre-conceived ‘prides’ and ‘prejudices’ of other social classes.
The main protagonist, Elizabeth Bennett, a tenacious, intelligent woman meets richer, snobby Mr. Darcy, whom she hates almost  immediately. Darcy’s pride respecting his status in society and Elizabeth’s prejudice against Darcy’s arrogant behavior keep these two apart.  She learns things from some other acquaintances about Mr. Darcy which make her dislike him even more. However, she soon learns that she may have been misled about him.  At the end of the novel, Darcy shows his genuine feeling for Elizabeth. She  realized  that  first tingles may not ceaselessly be right right after all.
And they love and live happily. Ahhh…..I love happy ending !
