i used an audio book while reading or i would have just never properly understood what was happening, did make things more enjoyable tho. the book was slow at times but oh my when it wasn’t i got really into it and was heavily invested in these characters. there were plot point i just did not care about at all.
the whole thing about lydia and wickham omg i did not care. even thought it did add to the development of elizabeth and darcy. i just really wanted to move past them.
when it wasn’t focusing darcy and elizabeth i just really wanted it to go back to them. omg chapter 43 😩😩

i have to be honest i like the movie better 🤭


favourite quote:

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.” - mr Darcy to elizabeth

TRIGER WARNING: Misogyny (characteristic to the time period) 

O que dizer de Orgulho e preconceito (Pride and prejudice) que já não foi dito antes. Eu cheguei atrasada na festa, mas antes tarde do que nunca. Eu gostei MUITO do livro. É inteligente, cômico e brilhante em sua simplicidade. Eu não gosto de romances, mas Pride and prejudice é uma exceção. Os principais fatores que me ganharam foi a inteligência e senso de humor na escrita de Jane Austen, e a personalidade forte, audaciosa e que não se deixa intimidar da protagonista Elizabeth Bennet. Honestamente quando Lady Catherine de Bourgh confrontou Elizabeth e a mesma nem se quer fraquejou virei fã de Lizzie. Elizabeth foi firme em sua posição e não cedeu a pressões externas. Isso me fez pensar “como é possível que Jane Austen tenha escrito uma personagem feminina forte e decidida em 1813 e autores hoje ainda escrevem personagens femininos questionáveis”. No início tive antipatia por Mr. Darcy, mas o fato de ele ter reconhecido seus defeitos no fim o redimiram em maior parte. Lydia Bennet foi, intencionalmente por parte de Austen, insuportável e tudo que eu queria é que ela percebesse seu egoísmo, irresponsabilidade e inconsequência. Porém, essa não era a proposta da obra. Não tenho nenhum ponto negativo que me venha a mente nesse momento e teria que literalmente caçar um para poder citar...e não vou fazer isso. O fato é que o livro tem uma história simples, mas executada de forma brilhante e me manteve interessada e entretida o tempo todo. Tenho também que dizer que a narração de Rosamund Pike foi MARAVILHOSA. Não há como dar outra nota que 5 estrelas.

It was okay. Elizabeth at the beginning of the book was amazing, then she changes, loses her backbone and it is gone.
