Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is Austen's second,most well know,and my favorite novel.The story starts when a rich young man named Mr. Bingley rents a house in the neighborhood. Mrs.Bennet has five daughters and is hoping that Mr.Bingley will fall in love and marry one of them.Mr.Bingley and her eldest daughter the beautiful sweet Jane seem to strike up an attachment.When Bingley's best friend Mr.Darcy,a proud gentlemen and Mrs.Bennet's second oldest daughter a playful witty girl named Eliazbeth(the main character)meet lets just say Elizabeth thinks Darcy is the most disagreeable man she has ever meet.
Including some of Austen's most memorable characters:Mrs.Bennet and her husband Mr.Bennet(the father of dry wit)make one of the funniest,unhappily married couples in history,and Mr.Collins(one of the suitors)is the model of everything a girl doesn't want in a guy.I love Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy.They have some of the most bewitching conversations and never has Austen's ear for dialogue been better then in her second novel.I was charmed by Pride and Prejudice and hope you will be too.

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”

“An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.”

“From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”
― Pride and Prejudice
― Pride and Prejudice
“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.”
― Pride and Prejudice
― Pride and Prejudice
“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. 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.”
