Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

itsgivingreader's review against another edition

5.0

This book is so brilliant and a classic for a reason. Jane Austen, my fave feminist girlie, excelled with this one. This story is one of those that you have to read between the lines and dissect. It’s a slow burn, but one worth sticking around for.

It is, at its core, more than just a love story. It’s about what being a human means; one who loves and hates and errs and wants to live a life with meaning, especially within a society not built to serve you. And those are my favorite kinds of stories.

Three words. Fitzwilliam Motherf*cking Darcy.

The original enemies to lovers, where he falls first. It’s *chef’s kiss*

Auntie Jane knocked it out of the park with this one.

I will be honest and say I found the first 2/3 pretty slow and I would put this book down to go read other books instead and come back when I was in the mood. But the last 1/3 was much more interesting and I couldn’t wait to see what happened! I also noticed so many similarities in story between this and the Downton Abbey tv series which really surprised me. I didn’t realize Downton Abbey was so unoriginal lol. I think for me, reading classic literature is difficult because the language and writing is so different from modern language but I did enjoy the story quite a bit. I can appreciate how this would have been very entertaining reading in Jane Austen’s time.
