Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness.

Mr. Bennet, owner of the Longbourn estate in Hertfordshire, has five daughters, but his property is entailed and can only be passed to a male heir. His wife also lacks an inheritance, so his family faces becoming very poor upon his death. Thus, it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well to support the others, which is a motivation that drives the plot.

Etter et litt uheldig møte med Thomas Hardy på videregående og tilsvarende med Camilla Collett på universitetet, bestemte jeg meg for å ikke haste av gårde med å få lest noe av Jane Austen. Til tross for at de to bøkene ikke har noe å gjøre med henne eller denne boka. Jaja. Det ordna seg til slutt: jeg har nå lest Pride and Prejudice, og storkost meg med den. Jeg prøvde ei nettside som sender et kapittel på e-post hver dag (selvvalgt tidspunkt), og leste litt hver dag i flere uker. Men så havna jeg bakpå, og da tok det ei stund før jeg kasta meg på igjen. Jeg likte egentlig den måten å lese på, siden det da kommer litt ved siden av alt annet. Det krever bare at kapitla ikke er for lange.

(Jeg har ikke stort å si om selve boka. Elizabeth var morsom. Mr. Bennet også. …

I was literally blown away by this book. Miss Austen produced a magnificent book with Pride and Prejudice. It’s witty and funny, and it also allowed me to have a peek into the way of life in that time. The difference in status and ‘importance’ between men and women was immense. But also it made me see how much life has progressed. For instance details like travel. A stretch of road that we’re used to do in about an hour by car would take more than half a day in those days!

It’s very unfortunate that Jane Austen died at so young an age; the world lost a brilliant writer far too soon.

Ein Literautklassiker ohne Frage. Aber trotzdem bin ich nicht wirklich warm geworden mit dem Roman. Bis auf Elizabeth und Darcy sind alle Personen unscharf und als Personifikation eines Charakterzugs (z. B. Georgiana = Schüchternheit, Mrs. Bennet = Geschwätzigkeit) dargestellt und handeln dementsprechend unglaubwürdig. Besonders Jane hat mich genervt mit ihrer unglaublichen Naivität. Die Handlung an sich ist nett und auch gut beschrieben, wenn auch oft vorhersehbar.

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is often considered one of the greatest novels of all time; the story of proud William Darcy and the prejudices of Elizabeth Bennett. From Lizzie’s perspective their spirited courtship plays out on the page; in this witty comedy of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in early 19th century society.

Most of you would already know this story; you’ve probably seen an adaptation or two in your time. For me, I was never interested in reading this book, I knew what it was about but I never knew what to expect. Eventually I had to read this book, in part for university and because it’s a classic that will always remain on the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die List. This is the novel that just will not die; 200 years later since this was published the book still sits very often in …
