Synopsis

First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is the most polished of Jane Austen’s novels, with a humorous and upbeat mood. It was written at a time when the author’s narrative powers were fully developed and the story flows with an ease that conceals the skill of its construction.The plot line follows the sequence of a love relationship apprehended, misunderstood, and finally realized, which has since become a standard format of the romcom genre. However, Austen complicates the action by involving not one but four romantic relationships in the plot, and using settings featuring an ensemble of characters. In Austen’s other novels, the heroine is either single or one of a pair of sisters. In this novel, the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, has four sisters—all of whom are expected to join the hunt for suitable male partners.Austen considered Elizabeth Bennet one of her most attractive characters, an opinion shared by generations of fans of her work.

Goodreads review by Tharindu on April 10, 2023

"I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow." Some of my happiest, and most looked-forward-to days of the year are the ones that I reserve for the re-reading of Pride and Prejudice. To quote Austen herself from Sense and Se......more

I am so unqualified to write about this book. I am physically unqualified, because I could write infinite words about how much I love this book, and I type in a weird way that makes my wrists hurt so infinity is simply not going to happen. I am emotionally unqualified, because I lack emotional intelli......more

"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen started off annoying me and ended up enchanting me. Up until about page one hundred I found this book vexing, frivolous and down right tedious. I now count myself as a convert to the Austen cult. I must confess I have been known to express an antipathy for anythi......more

Where my massive crush on Jane Austen began: alone, on a hot day in Montana, cursing her name. I had to read it for AP English and I could not see the point. Girls need to marry. Girls can't get married. Girls are sad. Girls get married. Girls are happy. I went to school to half heartedly discuss it a......more
