It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

The first sentence of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is among the most quoted in literature, and sets up the humorous and ultimately timeless tale of proper English society, unspoken intentions, and true love acquired. Pride and Prejudice is a classic that adeptly traces the intricacies of social status, manners, and relationship rituals in nineteenth-century England, through which all the love between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy eventually blossoms.

Und zwar u.a. insbesondere wegen ihres Tons. Dieses hier wurde von Jane Austen zwar bereits 1797 geschrieben, erschien aber erst 1813 oder so ähnlich.

Es geht um die Familie Bennet und ihre fünf Töchter, die von ihrer Mutter unter die Haube zu bringen sind. Die Mutter stellt sich dabei, sagen wir mal, töricht und zuweilen sehr peinlich an.

Review of 'Pride and Prejudice' on 'GoodReads'

5 stars

Intriguing

The first few chapters weren't captivating. Personally, it has to do with the flow or arrangement of the story. One chapter, we re talking about the present-past, in the next chapter, it's a very lengthy, multiple chapters, past-past before it caught up to present-past.

There were also a very confusing switching between first-person, third-person limited, and third-person god. The sub-sections barely worked because of it.

However, I'm giving 4 out of 5 because of the story itself. The plot. The repercussions considered of what happened which is not tackled in any other similar story in this genre, or rarely touched. It is refreshing and it stays within the realms of possibility and reality as much as possible.
