Description

Pride and Prejudice, the outstanding novel by Jane Austen, outlines the emotional evolution of the lead protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet, that learns the error of making hasty judgments and begins to appreciate the difference between the shallow and the essential. The comedy of the novel lies in the depiction of habits, education, marriage and money in the British Dominion.Mr. Bennet of the Longbourn property has five daughters, but his estate is entailed, signifying that none of the girls can inherit it. Since his spouse had no fortune, it is imperative that one of the girls marries well to support the others on his passing. However, Jane Austen's opening words 'It is a truth universally recognized that a single man in ownership of a good fortune must be in desire of a wife' is a sentence filled with playfulness and irony.
