Pride & Prejudice

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” Like many other great first lines in literature, the opening sentence of Pride & Prejudice contains in microcosm what is to come. It lets us know immediately, of course, the novel’s central concern: marriage—the finding of a husband or a wife. This is, we suspect, going to be a love story. But the obvious irony of the statement complicates the picture.

Description

Product Description

Pride & Prejudice

Pride & Prejudice is a romantic comedy in the grand Shakespearean tradition of romantic comedies: Inside a rich tapestry of characters both serious and silly, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet meet as intellectual and moral equals but also as the representatives of two different communities. Their challenging and even initially antagonistic relationship develops into one of mutual respect and a true meeting of minds. Along with the colorful cast of supporting characters—the unforgettable Mr. Collins, the sardonic and apathetic Mr. Bennet, wily Wickham, practical Charlotte, lovable Bingley—the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth brings to vibrant life the intricate and delicate world of Regency England and forces readers to examine their own prejudices and pride.
