Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. 

Ashlyn Barrett

I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine. 

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us. 

There are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement.  

A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment. 

The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

"When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited, while he struggles to remain indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever"--Book cover p. [4].

Pride and Prejudice / Stolz und Vorurteil

Eu gosto da moral mas não chega a ser um favorito

I remember really enjoying the experience of reading it. But I don't know if I'd like it as much now. I think there are other female authors of the same period who wrote more thought provoking stories. But it is a great story and the writing was beautiful. ( Also +1/2 for the short chapters )

favs for sure. definitely see myself coming back to this. wanna explore more of this genre. from the plot to the setting to the dialogues to the characters, everything was on point. you get hooked on austen's writing after a while.

Absolute masterpiece! Jane Austen is truly a remarkable genius with utmost certainty. This book is extremely well written with great dialogues, well defined characteristics of different characters and tackles with many different and important social issues that one observes in day to day lives; even till this day. This book not only allows one to enjoy the entire fiasco, but also allows one to reflect upon their thought processes. 

Lastly, the title fits this novel perfectly, shows how its present in everyday lives of everyone. Now thats a classic.

Originally read back in High school.... Just working through my own thoughts here more than a review. Very hard to enjoy this book as much as I did when I first read it some 15 years ago. Suppose it has to do with my increasingly lack of fiction, my reliance on "coding" and "scripting" to make sense of things in my daily life, and sadly maybe the lack of romance in my life. I kepy thinking about Lizzy/Darcy and their comparison to Benedit/Beatrice. There is so little direct dialogue in this book compared to "Much Ado about Nothing". And this explains a lot of of my lack of interest in the former, and and strong interest in the later. While it's interesting to explore Elizabeth's inner ideas on custom, civilities, sisterhood, men, money and family, all of this is compounded in the grotesque use of indirect language. It's very easy in this book to skip over a major plot point without realizing it was embedded in a tiny paragraph. I just feel like so much of the book is about the mishaps of her sisters. And maybe it's my own bias, where I find it silly that such important matters of marriage take place over a series of locations, letters and frankly silly nonsense. Let me not me without joy. There is plenty in this book to enjoy. When I'm able to get into one of the grooves of the novel, and most interested in the interactions with Elizabeth an Darcy, it becomes a fascinating/fun book. This isn't to say the book is bad. I've really enjoyed the adaptations i've seen of book. And further I do love the dynamic of a proud man and recalcitrant woman, and them falling in love. You know, the screw the world, screw the family, because we care about our relationship than you all. Ahhh..romantic. Anyhow. Definately recommend everyone give Austen a read. I was spurred on to read this book after hearing the Slate Political Gabfest revisit the book in a recent podcast. Cheerio for now Austen...though something tells me I will need to finally read "Persuasion" soon.

Pride and prejudice.

i can literally hear Keira Knightley in every word Elizabeth says

Iconic, love how Darcy is a lot more animated than portrayed in the movie from 2005 and the show from 1995.

Mr and Mrs Gardiner are absolute sweethearts and this could be seen in the recent The Other Bennet Sister.

Mr Bennet is kind of a dumbass as not-so-subtly mentioned by Mrs Bennet in the beginning and by Lizzy towards the end.

All in all I’m so glad I finally got to read it!

THE Classic. It is truth usefully acknowledged that a man seeking a woman must aspire to the character of Mr. Darcy. His wealth helps .... edit | delete review

I began to read Pride and Prejudice after a recommendation from my mum. I couldn’t put it down. I think that while it may have seemed rather slow at the start, I really appreciated the build-up and by the end of the novel you had developed a respect from each and every one of the characters. Although I generally prefer more gripping novels, the romance was very compelling. Feminism is explored very early on and even though, at the end of the novel it did seem as if all the women were married to respectable gentlemen the women were still very prominent and determined. I particularly loved how class and status affected the plot and how it was used to manipulate the characters’ personalities.

M. Sosotris

A perfect novel. One of my favourites. Every time I read it, I’m delighted anew by Austen’s characters and their idiosyncrasies. 

The character arcs are so satisfying, and the way the two main characters find their way towards falling in love is so beautifully realized and so relatable human.

I adore this book, dearly.

I GET WHY THIS IS A CLASSIC NOW. DARCY AND ELIZABETH 😍😍😍

I really enjoyed the beginning, however, it slowed down and took forever for me to actually finish, plus the last chapter was really unrewarding. That being said, I did still enjoy their romance and think that we should bring back men who yearn ❤️📖

I am a sucker for angry love confessions.

A joy to revisit this through Rosamund Pike’s audiobook narration, I was just as captivated and charmed by it as I was when I first read the novel over 20 years ago.

Well written, clever, and witty. It is slow however!

Austen's most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen's beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Es ésta la novela más popular de Jane Austen (1775-1817), considerada por la mayor parte de los críticos como una obra maestra. En ella, todos los elementos del equilibrado y sobrio arte de la escritora alcanzan su mejor expresión. La obra debe gran parte de su popularidad al brío y a la agudeza con que son creados algunos personajes cómicos, como el amenísimo pastor Collins, uno de los figurones más célebres de la literatura inglesa. 
Con unos pocos y sencillos rasgos, Jane Austen traza unas figuras tan eficaces, que alcanzan un relieve que las hace inolvidables.

Orgullo y prejuicio

Meh, no es de mi estilo. Podría entender que es una caricatura de la sociedad de la época, aunque es principalmente un libro de romance.

Andrés

good book but it’s better read as a romance compared to a feminist text. when read as a feminist text there’s a lot of contradictions in austen's message and criticisms.
