The Facts of Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is a delightful book about two people who fall in love with each other, but meet obstacles to their love. In short, the book is similar to a soap opera. And no one likes soap operas. Although I'm not entirely sure if that falls under the soap opera genre. The main couple only goes through one trouble. I believe in soap operas there are multiple trials in order for the couple to be finally united. However, Elizabeth and Darcy come together soon after they recognize their own faults and correct them. This isn't just a bash of Jane Austen's work though. She expertly weaves together various couples together. For example, Lydia and Wickham, Charlotte and Collins, and Jane and Bingley. Although Mary isn't married, she also rarely has an impact in the story, which is similar to Kitty's role in the novel. Anyways, Austen also does an excellent job in describing her characters. They're all very fleshed out and real. The behavior for both genders is accurate for the time period. I wouldn't suggest this novel unless you're the type of person who really enjoys a slow romance. The two don't actually fall in love with each other until around the midpoint of the story.
