austen's writing style is well suited to the romantic genre, giving every moment its due, darcy and elizabeth (and all other characters) were wholly fleshed out, and austen was not afraid to show their flaws and misconduct, although some may peg some of the characters as odd or eccentric i believe they are simply autistic. darcy, lizzy, and mr bennet are all examples and i will stand by that. a beautiful book that deserves its place as a classic, and can be enjoyed regardless of ones knowledge of the time period or of the romantic genre

I get it. I get why the girlies are like that. I get it.
One you get past the language barrier, nay, once you embrace the language barrier, you get it. The language is beautiful. The story is juicy. I love hot goss no matter the era. I had a great time and I was inspired to write so you know what? Extra points. What a great book.

I put ableism as a tag because Mr Darcy is autistic and everyone hates autistic people until suddenly they love us because we're sweetie pies with resting bitch face.boglord's review against another edition

For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?
Honestly, this novel has altered both my brain chemistry and my perception of early 19th century British literature. I'm not sure I have much to add to the conversation that hasn't already been said, but I will say that I think it's best to view Pride and Prejudice as a window into the lives of white upper-class regency period English women (lol), rather than as a broader commentary on human nature. It's kind of like white feminism in a novel and, within that framework, it really worked for me.
Austen's wit is such a highlight, and I'm excited to check out more of her work as well as rewatch the 2005 adaptation. I really loved Jane and Elizabeth's relationship, and am embarrassed by how much I looked forward to Darcy's appearances lmaoo. I've been amusing myself by imagining Austen's take on 2024 BookTok tropes. I mean, Elizabeth and Darcy are the original enemies-to-lovers...
That being said, there are many beautiful lines in here:
Loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable - that one false step involves her in endless ruin - that her reputation is no less brittle than it is beautiful - and that she cannot be too much guarded in her behaviour towards the undeserving of the other sex.
