Literary criticism
The Bennet’s life changes with the sudden arrival in their
home town of a wealthy young gentleman and his best friend, Mr. Darcy, who is
attractive, yet arrogant and introvert. The story, set in the 19th century
in the English countryside, is focused on the relationship that flourishes
between the Bennet’s second daughter, Elisabeth, and the well positioned Mr.
Darcy, who ends up falling in love with her, a woman of lower social status and
as witty and proud as him.
This is one of the timeless works by the
well-known British writer, Jane Austen, first publicised in 1813. As well as
the other well-known Austen’s novels, it is rich in vocabulary, drama and
romanticism and full of clever dialogues and satirical remarks.
Definitely, “Pride and Prejudice” is one of those novels that can be read many times and enjoyed over and over again,
because of the great talent of the writer, the charming personalities of their
characters, the romanticism that is described in the stories and the beauty of
the narrative itself, which usually describes a romantic relationship, the
dances of that period, the English landscapes, social manners...
