Pride and prejudice by Jane Austen

Post by Bliss Daviss »

I think this is the greatest romance novel of all time, set in the year 1813, Austen's pride and prejudice follows the opinionated heroine, Elizabeth Bennett, as she frequently finds herself at odds with her Beau, the uptight Mr. Darcy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in love historical and classical romance. In 2006, Keira Knightley earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Bennett on the big screen.

If you haven't seen the BBC adaption, I'd strongly recommend it! Best movie version of this book that I've seen.

My all time favorite book! Read multiple times, and I actually have a quote from it as my first tattoo.

I absolutely love Pride and Prejudice but Persuasion is my favorite. I prefer the characters of Elizabeth and Darcy, but the story of Anne and Captain Wentworth. I also agree with the previous commenter about the BBC adaptation. Colin Firth is amazing!

I regret to say that I have yet to read any true classics. I plan on it very soon though as Pride and Prejudice does sound like something I would enjoy.

COLIN FIRTH is, um, VERY tasty in the BBC version. I love all versions of the book, though!

My obsession with the book got my mum worried a little about me. It actually gave me one of the best quote I know . “Do anything rather than marry without affection.” - Jane Bennet in pride and prejudice.

I watched the bbc adaptation before reading the book and I enjoyed the TV series so much that I found myself disappointed by the book. In the book, I found the main Miss Bennett to be a little arrogant and judgemental. I preferred the character in the TV show.

Personally the books is great and the author does a great job on the plot, It gives of that nice aristrocratic aesthetic. I recommend those who haven't read the book yet to read it. It's superb

Pride and Prejudice is a wonderful book. I love the characters and the storyline. I have read this book twice. I have also read Emma, which was good, but didn't enjoy it as much.

I like the fact that it introduced a new topic, and sends the idea that a woman's life isn't about marriage. It's easy to read and I just love the language used. Darcy is the perfect gentleman, a little bit quiet and shy but with strong values and doesn't judge easily. A great plot and all kinds of characters.
