About This Novel
"Pride and Prejudice" was published in 1813 and has been read, recognized and passed on by readers around the world for two hundred years. Somerset Maugham included it as one of the top ten novels in the world, and the famous American literary critic Edmund Wilson said that amidst the changes in literary tastes, "Shakespeare and Jane Austen are the only ones that have endured for a long time." In the novel, Squire Bennett's family has five daughters who are waiting for marriage. The major event in Mrs. Bennett's life is to marry off her daughters. Several love stories unfold as Mr. Bingley rents Netherfield Hall. Due to many misunderstandings, Elizabeth formed a deep "prejudice" against Darcy's "arrogance". What follows is a series of misfortunes that bring the Bei family to its lowest ebb, and this is when the plot of the novel begins to take a turn for the worse. Eventually, prejudice dissolves and arrogance takes on a brighter side. In terms of its attitude towards marriage and love, Pride and Prejudice can still directly resonate with modern women.
