It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Pride and Prejudice is a romantic novel written by Jane Austen. The story is set in late eighteenth century England and centers around the Bennet and their five daughters. Jane and Elizabeth, the elder daughters, are the best of friends and share their hopes and dreams together. Mr. Bingley, a wealthy neighbor, develops a liking for Jane. His friend, Mr. Darcy, is a handsome but proud and rude man. He begins liking Elizabeth, a lady below his class. Elizabeth, on the other hand, shares a love-hate relationship with him. This classic is full of comical situations that make it worth reading.
