The book review of Pride and Prejudice 管宁 Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England.

It’s quite easy to see the whole society was chasing down money and fame. That is a good background that the writer successfully set, making the following things sound reasonable. The Bennets cousin Mr Collins, a clergyman, was proud of his rich patroness, the noble Lady Catherine de Bourgh. After being refused by Elizabeth of the offer of marriage, Mr Collins soon recovered and promptly became engaged to Elizabeths close friend who pointed out that Mr Collins is a good, respectful, well-employed man which is absolutely untrue. How eager was she to have financial security by marrying a, what to say, kind of rich and powerful husband. We wonder whether the society had real love. When Elizabeth went to visit her married girlfriend Charlotte and Mr Collins, she was to meet Mr. Darcy more frequently. Mr Darcy finds himself, again, attracted to Elizabeth and proposes to her. While talking to each other, Elizabeth charged him with pride, with destroying her sisters happiness, with his disgraceful treatmen
