No necesita explicación. Un clásico atemporal.
Merece la pena leerlo.
Es cierto que si no estás habituado al lenguaje o la forma de escribir y de expresarse de la época, cuesta un poco. Está escrito con mucho adorno en los diálogos, con vocabularío típico de los años en los que se desarrolla y eso a veces cuesta, sobre todo al principio, luego te acostumbras.
Maravilloso.
Tanto Lizzie, como Jane y Mr.Bennet sob personajes estupendos. Y, por supuesto, Mr.Darcy.
Recomendadísimo.

My re-read of this took an interesting twist as I finished about 3/4 of it and then put it down for a year! I finished the last 100 pages in one fell swoop and I will continue to love this book forever.
As a classic it is still one of my absolute favorites. I will always recommend this to anyone interested in a classic read.
Lizzie and Darcy will forever be one of my favorite couples.

Background notes below:
- Pride and prejudice challenges the role of women in society with her strong, leading female role (just her not her sisters) at the centre of her novel.
- Moralist - in pride and prejudice, rather than feeling it is impolite to discuss money, Austen writes about it because how we handle money has a massive impact on our lives (realism).
- This novel questioned how land ownership and inheritance came about.
- Money is essential to live but should not fully sway our judgement.
- More people were literate in her time than ever before.
- We can see in her writing how she wants the world to be a certain way.
- Wanted people to be less selfish, more reasonable and dignified.
- Not much living space to write.
- Lived through the napoleonic wars.
- Never married.
- 6 novels.
- Darcy and Elizabeth are right for each other as each can educate and improve the other e.g. she condemns his arrogance and pride to his face.
- Suit each other because by her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened.
- From his knowledge, judgment and world experience she must have received benefit of greater importance.
- Austen is saying that the right person has got to help us overcome our failings, not just like us for who we already are.
- Pride and Prejudice = marriage depends on maturity and education.
- The novel was her chosen weapon in her struggle to reform humanity.
- Pride and Prejudice initially called first impressions: Austen explores how we often base our thoughts, feelings and opinions on people based on our FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
- Gaining a release from the societal imprisonment that keeps us in our own opinions, thinking that we are always right.
- Pride and Prejudice = coming to an enlightenment, seeing the world more objectively.
- They are both too proud and have too much prejudice.
- Elizabeth = free spirit, thinking outside the box, more daring and adventurous than her sisters.
- Both developing new modes of language.
- Prejudice is the opposite of pride, but they are both selfish and limit the potential for human vision.
