Pride and Prejudice


Genre: Novel
Pride and Prejudice-it's a classic.
Pride and Prejudice-it's a classic.
Pride and Prejudice is one of those stories that you can read over and over again, but if you haven’t yet picked it up, make sure you do this winter. A classic read full of humour, wit, courage and of course love, showing us how our own prejudices can blind us to what is in front of us, or in this case, who is in front of us.
It’s a simple yet powerful love story between the stubborn Miss Bennet and the handsome Mr Darcy, and how their hatred for each other turned to affection once they realise just how alike they really are.
The proud Mr Darcy character has been modernised for 21stcentury films and remakes of the film, making us fall in love with him over and over again, and our heroine, Elizabeth Bennet is a character we admire, and can certainly relate to, as she faces the challenges thrust upon her.
In an era where love and marriage are of the utmost importance, Jane Austen certainly makes light of the situation, allowing us to sympathise and admire our heroine just that little bit more.
And as the saying goes, it is an “oldie” but it sure is a “goodie” too. The cold winter nights will soon be upon us, so put the kettle on and curl up with a warm cup of tea as you lose yourself in this classic!
