 At first, I imagine myself not reviewing this book yet it turns out beautifully.

It's challenging to understand what the sentences try to present. I need to be in the mood to be able to understand them. But then, I get used to the writing style.

Pride & Prejudice is about the life of the Bennet family whose mother characteristics that desperately wants her daughter to get married while the father more to relax and put no pressure.

I had to google and read the explanation of certain events that happen in the book for my own confirmation and understanding. I did some background research on some characters and even watch the movie before reading this classic book.

It is my nature to watch the movie first before reading the book. For me, the movie focus on the storyline, and the book focuses on the characters. Because typically, books have more detail. By drowning in the movie, the book, and the explanation observed by people, I get to know more about WHY people love Mr. Darcy and this is called a romantic genre. I get it, bro, I get it.

Mr. Darcy claims what he’d done wrong and fixes it in his way. He is not perfect yet he tries his best to be better for himself and for Elizabeth. His effort is just everything!

I’m aware of most of the issues there are still issues nowadays. And I decided to rewatch the movie for the second time while I’m still trying to finish the book. How wonderful.
