Pride and Prejudice

In Pride and Prejudice, it focuses on the Bennet family, mainly Elizabeth throughout the story. The story starts with “a single man with large fortune” (Mr Bingley) renting a house in the area (Hertfordshire) and Mrs Bennet wants him as a suitor for one of her daughters. The story then progresses with Mr
Bingley’s friend, Mr Darcy, finding love in Elizabeth but Elizabeth finding him obnoxious with his pride.

After reading Pride and Prejudice, written by Jane Austen, I found it very enjoyable to read, despite my first impression at the beginning of the book. With me being a very big lover of thriller books, filled with murder and massive plots, reading this book was quite a contrast for what I am used to reading.
However, I found the language to help with the books storyline, adding an element that when the dialogue switch between characters and narrator, it kept me engaged in the story as the styles of language were matched.

The book lives up to its’ title with the pride, represented by Mr Darcy, and the prejudice, later realised by Miss Elizabeth. This leads the story to have a deeper meaning, making it even more enjoyable.

In conclusion, I found the story to be very enjoyable as it provided a casual reading with its fairly loose plot and relaxed language.
