Recently, I read through “Pride and Prejudice” which written by a well-known English writer----Jane Austen. Her works, reflect the comedy in the middle-class of England and also get rid of the fixed tradition in the 18th century by analyzing the personalities of the characters artfully. “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” With these lines, a classical novel about the value of the love begins. This writing pictures four marriages in Bennet’s family, and the primary one was between Elizabeth and Darcy. Darcy who was a single man of a large fortune fell in love with Elizabeth after only a transitory social intercourse. And later on, Darcy proposed to her but Elizabeth refused him by misunderstanding his represented extreme pride. After a long-term observation of his behaviors, Elizabeth was finally loyal to her own heart. “Pride and prejudice” is a love comedy. But it actually explained that only by action and introspection can have the hope and the true love; and also the dignity of a person which was as well built up by action. This writing, to some extent, expresses the author’s marriage view: It is wrong to get married for the property, money and position as well.
Pride and prejudice was a very enjoyable read, i had trouble putting it down actually. Apart from reading the book I also watched the TV series produced by BBC, I adore Collin Firth so much and I also enjoy the pleasant picture of the Bennet family including the constant screaming of Mrs Bennet.
I highly recommend this book to all romance lovers.
