Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
by Jane Austen
This is the tale of two opposites. Elizabeth Bennet(or Lizzy) and Mr.Darcey(*sigh*). The...woman to put it simply, and the wealthy man. These two people meet when Darcey and his friend Mr.Bingley purchase Netherfield Park, a large estate near the Bennet's house. Mr.Bingley is also a wealthy man and he is so kind and has such appealing manners that every one comes to like him very much. Especially Lizzy's sister Jane.
Bingley hosts a dance at Netherfield and that is where Lizzy and Darcey meet. But people don't always have good first impressions of each other. Darcey appears to be proud, rude and self involved. After that night Elizabeth wants nothing to do with him, but fate has other plans for these two people. And they will both learn that love is much harder then hatred.
This is my favorite book of all time. The story is inviting, the characters have so much depth it's like you can feel them and the writing! Only a fool would not love Jane Austen's writing. I've read this book three times this year alone. I've seen all the movie versions(the best is the BBC version aka the one in the picture), I'm a bit obsessive about it true but that's only because of how powerful her words are. They give me comfort like an old "blanky" or a favorite toy. Real love is dying day by day. You only see it in books and sometimes in the places your familiar with. Their love is real. No vampire/werewolf feuds. No poems about just the color of her eyes. That stuff is fake. Real love has conflict, problems in the early stages but you know, you know, they'll break through it because they love each other.This book is my security blanket. My secret world of British accents everywhere and fully clothed men jumping into ponds:). It changed me.
Okay, so you may think that this book is only for the romantics and classic literature lovers of the world. Wrong! This book is also for people who have crazy and hilarious mothers, embarrassing siblings, the shy guys, the bold and hot headed feminists of the world(keep it up) and so many others. This book can relate to everyone. Lizzy also has sisters that think they can sing but they can't, ones who are silly beyond belief and a mother who special is to talk about people...loudly...while they're still in the room. There is in fact a shy guy in this book. Talking isn't easy for him especially to the girl he loves.
This book relates to us so much it's not even possible to list all the ways how it does.
In conclusion, this book is a worth while read. Who knows maybe you'll love it like I do. If you hate it...we have a problem. I recommend this book to all of you.

I really want to read this book. It seems really good and I like the main theme that Real Love is dying dad by day. True Love's kiss is just a fairytale instead of a reality. I like how you relate the book to all people in the world, pretty much, and I thought it was a really good report.
