Pride & Prejudice: bookreport


Pride and Prejudice

“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen is a sarcastic and critical novel which analyses society at the beginning of the 19th century with a lot of wit. It was written between 1796 and 1797 and published in 1813.
The protagonist Elizabeth Bennet is one of five daughters her mother wants to get married. Elizabeth gets to know the very rich Mr. Darcy and from the first moment she feels a deep antipathy against him, which is affirmed by some very exciting events. Absolutely unexpectedly Mr. Darcy makes Elizabeth an offer of marriage…
A very rousing and moving story, which has inspired many other authors, e.g. to write works like “Bridget Jones”.
