Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen

Which book is your pride possession and why ? Or which is your favorite book Justify? Recommend a book - Here it is - the answer to "Why my favorite Novel is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen"

Pride and Prejudice is among the first few classics I read.

Set in the early 19th century, the descriptions of the walks and balls by the author is extensive. The author gives very minute details, of the dresses and the feather in the hat or the statues of Pemberley. What I really love about Jane Austen novel is that everything is justified with a valid reason. Also, the sequence of the plots are very well connected - hats off to the author for maintaining the rhythm.

Out of many works by Jane Austen I am particularly a fan of Pride and Prejudice, because of the way author portrays positive as well as negative traits of almost every individual without making them villains. The fact that the protagonist "Elizabeth" (prejudice yet intelligent) and the lead male "Darcy" (proud yet generous) both have negative traits but yet the author somehow still manages to make you fall in love with them, is appreciative. The plot has some conspiracy, some drama, little suspense as well as a beautiful love story. I am a big fan of love stories with beautiful endings, and this particular one tops the chart.

 

The novel has varied kind of characters -

The loving yet tied hands father

The caring yet blabbering mother

The beautiful but innocent sister

The beautiful but silly sister

The determined but not so skilled sister

The loving yet opportunistic friend

The humble yet stupid cousin

The proud yet logical Lady

The handsome yet easily persuaded groom

The handsome yet cunning soldier

The loving and caring Aunt/Uncle [I don’t have any negative for the Gardiners]

The caring yet talkative friend

The beautiful and skilled [Georgiana Darcy]

 

** Spoiler Ahead **

I had never come across a more powerful fictional character like Darcy. [Now Roark (The Fountainhead) and Dagny (Atlast Shrugged) are also part of that list]. The rash and rational judgments by the character are equally justified by the author. At the same time the author explores the concept of love, which can make a most balanced mind dizzy. 

There is a most distressing yet the most loving letter written by Darcy to Elizabeth - I simply fell in love with the way Darcy proposes Elizabeth. The first proposal cannot be ruder and the second could not be more desperate.  

Finally to conclude, the novel is a perfect mix of drama and love. And the author has a way to keep the readers captivated.
