I remember laughing out loud at that one scene where Darcy declares her love to her, while she is deeply annoyed and angry. Just hilarious.
And is it just me or does Austen have a very agreeable way of telling us what proper behaviour looked like back then, without being moralistic?

Well the word and the notion of a political philosophy may not have arisen until the late 19th/ early 20th century, but - for instance - Jane Austen was in her teens when Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women was published, so it is not as though there was no argument for women's rights going on at the time.RussetDivinity wrote: To the person who said that the novel could have been more feminist, I'd just like to say that this was written well before feminism was considered a thing. Feminism is a very recent idea, and one that Jane Austen wouldn't have heard of, though I like to think she would have supported it if she lived now.
