Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.
It has certainly been a while since I’ve read a book that has challenged me. The language and writing style are typical for classics, and for some reason so comforting to me. The last time I read a classic was over a year and a half ago. I regret that now, and want to go back to it.
Elizabeth Bennet is in every way a flawed, yet perfect, human. From the way she speaks to the way she thinks, she is so admirable. The way she learns to overcome her pride and prejudices is courageous.
Mr. Darcy is a great man, though not so great at the start of this novel, but can proof to the readers that he, too, can undergo a character development, and as he, too, learns to overcome his pride and prejudices, the story takes a magnificent turn for the better.
While the chemistry between the two is certainly there, it takes a while to unfold, which could potentially make it harder for readers to see it. But if you’ve set your mind on this book, I have no doubt that you will enjoy almost half as much as I did.
