Book 79 of 2024: Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”

Mrs Bennet has one mission, to find her five daughters suitable husbands, much to Mr Bennet’s disdain. 

Review:

⭐️ 5/5

A classic that truly stands the test of time! I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to read Pride and Prejudice. I fell in love with Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet as characters. Elizabeth’s sass and wit amused me greatly and she is a powerhouse character that would be admired by modern day standards too! A fantastic story of prejudices, marriage and love.

Favourite Quotes:

“You puzzle me exceedingly. If what I have hitherto said can appear to you in the form of encouragement, I know not how to express my refusal in such a way as may convince you of its being one”

“Do not consider me now as an elegant female intending to plague you, but as a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart”

“The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense.”
