Description

The provincial Bennet family, home to five unmarried daughters, is turned upside down when a wealthy bachelor takes up a house nearby. Mr. Bingley enhances his instant popularity by hosting a ball and taking an interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy, Bingley’s even wealthier friend, makes himself equally unpopular by his aloof disdain of country manners. Yet he is drawn, in spite of himself, to the spirited and intelligent Elizabeth Bennet, who proves to be his match in both wit and pride. Their sparkling repartee is a splendid performance of civilized sparring infused with unacknowledged romantic tension.

Pride and Prejudice delightfully captures the affectations and rivalries of class-conscious English families in an age when status and security for women hung entirely on matrimonial ambitions. Austen’s characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England. It is also the source of some of the most memorable characters ever written, from the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth is one of the finest comic passages in English literature, to the beloved heroine Elizabeth, whom the author herself deemed “as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print.”

Astute observation of human nature

Such amazing insightful accounts of the human nature!

The 19th century English in this timeless classic (published in 1813) is quaint and beautiful. I should admit that as one unaccustomed to long multi-part sentences, I needed to pay particular attention to avoid missing any nuances. I frequently had to rewind several times to appreciate the intricacies going on in the minds of the protagonist and other characters. I did not find it disruptive to my appreciation of the book, rather, it heightens my enjoyment of Jane Austen’s insights into human nature, and marvel at how she was able to provide such caricatures with words.

Overall I enjoyed the book very much. I can’t help feeling that although it’s been over 200 years since this book was written, human nature has not changed all that much. We are still all too ready to judge others, quick to self-justify, and prone to all kinds of vanities. I can glimpse some of the veneer of civility and shallowness of polite conversations in society.

The reader Carolyn Seymour is a gem. Her voice for Mrs Benette is such a scream! Had me in stitches each time Mrs Benette spoke.
