In our times, we also can see the people marry for many reasons, for money, for beauty, for power, and so on. The love between Elizabeth and Darcy maybe is true love. Also, the ending of the novel is perfect, because they got married and had a happy life. That is what I want.

Jane Austen wrote many books in her lifetime and each have their own charms, but no one would dispute that her masterpiece is "Pride and Prejudice." Her main character, Elizabeth Bennet, is so lively and vivacious, with so many faults and virtues that it is impossible not to relate with her on some level and such depth and development in a female is extremely rare to find in a novel of that era.
"Pride and Prejudice" is a worthwhile read to anyone who wishes to find a humorous and witty portrayal of romance in the early 19th century.

I think it is a fantastic book. doing it for a-level and I thought it would be really boring. However, after readoing it, I couldnt put it down. The story is definitly NOT a romantic which is why I think it is so cleaverly written. There are no romantic sonnets and any one who believes it to be a romantic novel, need to read it abit more carefully.

I love this book! I've must have read it at least 6 times. It has the most powerful theme ever. It is love. And you must read it to see why.

This is my absolute favorite of all the books I have ever read. Book is the reason that I love reading classic novels. Despite the old language, which I think is the attraction, the story of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is extremely romantic.
