Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: Unputdownable




At the very beginning, the book transports us to Hertfordshire. The rapture in the Bennet household in Hertfordshire ensnares the readers. This is what makes the novel one of the best classics. The novel is about the Bennet family and Mrs Bennet’s sole aim to get her daughters settled in marriage with wealthy families. 

Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have five daughters, all good-looking and endearing. Not having a male heir means the property will fall into the hands of a distant male heir. Unfortunately, this leaves the future of the five daughters to fate. The arrival of the wealthy and charming Mr. Bingley into the neighbourhood pulls up the hopes of Mrs. Bennet as she perceives him to be the perfect match for one of her daughters. Their acquaintance blossoms over time and Mr. Bingley develops fondness for one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Their conversations are interesting and piquant.  

 As Mr. Bingley exits Hertfordshire briefly, the joyful environment transmutes into a sombre setting with some hope lingering in the hearts of the Bennet family. At this point, I must say that I regret watching the trailer of the movie as it reveals the union of Mr. Darcy (Mr. Bingley's friend) and Lizzy (second daughter). Throughout the middle portions, one thing that intrigued me was how the two would fall for each other. Despite having known the plot, the book didn’t disappoint me for there was more to the story.

Overall, it was a gratifying experience.
