Pride And Prejudice
(Jane Austen)
One of the best loved authors of all time, Jane Austen's "Pride and
Prejudice" is her best work. The narrative style is witty and readable,
not adjectives a modern reader would apply to other authors of her
time. The story is that of the middle-class Bennet family, the
machinations of the mother whose sole concern in life is to see her
daughters "well-settled", the father's apparent ironic withdrawal from
his wife's plans but secret glee or satisfaction, and the daughters
themselves - beautiful or gentle or intelligent or foolish.The heroine,
Elizabeth Bennet is initially "prejudiced" against her "proud"
suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy, but is eventually won over by his deep
affection for her and the softening of his manners. Austen has drawn a
sharply perfect potrait with gentle irony of the world she inhabited -
of teas and conversations and balls; and "neat, sensible" emotions; the
most violent or sensational happening in her novel is the youngest
daughter's elopement and marriage.
