Pride and Prejudice,one of Jane Austen’s most famous novels,tells us a story about love and marriage.In this novel,the hero Mr Darcy and the heroin Elizabeth fall in love with each other.But they don’t realize it or we can say that they don’t want to admit it because Mr Darcy is so elegant and pride that it gives Elizabeth a false image that the man is not worth loving.But later,after witnessing the tragedy of her sister’s marriage,Elizabeth begins to view Mr Darcy in a more reasonable way.And also,Mr Darcy has realized that he is too elegant and begins to change.At last,the two persons express their feelings to each other and creat a legend of love.
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” ,and it is the first sentence of this novel.I think it perfectly reflcets the belief of people of that time.At that time,people think that marriage is about money and social status,not only about love.So people in this novel such as Mr and Mrs Bennet are eager to marry their daughters to Mr Bingley who is very rich.I think Jane Austen wrote this novel not because she wanted to show people an inviting story about love,but because she wanted to reflect some social problems.Jane Austen wanted to tell people that marrige is the result of love,and money or social status should not be the obstacles of marriage.People have the freedom of loving whoever they love and don’t need to care about any other things.So this novel is worth reading because Jane said something that other people didn’t say and she was a fighter against the unreasonable tradition.
If people say that they love this novel because they love the plot of the story,then I should say that the story is so boring and it has never gotten rid of the routine of love story.In my opinion,I am a person who love books that tell about the legends of great people.So I found that this story just tells about the trivial things about love.Some problems in this novel can hardly be true problems.Jane Austen dealed with some problems in woman’s sentimental view.So I think this novel is not suitable for a man to read.
