Pride and Prejudice Book Wrap-Up

As well as Alejandra, I really enjoyed reading Pride and Prejudice because it is a classic book and it was about a love story, which I really love reading. At first, I thought I might not like the book a lot because it was written a long time ago and therefore it wasn´t really modern but after about the first few pages I began to like it because it was interesting to see how society was like back then and how it was really important for a girl to find a handsome and wealthy husband. As well as Alejandra, I also thought it was silly especially how Mrs. Bennet worried a lot about getting her daughters married and that´s all she cared that even when one of her younger daughters ran away with Wickham and he was asking for money in order to mary her, Mrs. Bennet was still happy that one of her daughters was getting married although it wasn´t with the right guy or in the right way. Similar to Alejandra, I also really liked the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy because of how it changed throught the book until the end when they got married. At first, Mr. Darcy was very proud and he was unliked by everyone but then as he started liking Elizabeth he began to be more humble and polite and stopped caring about Elizabeth being of a lower class than he was, he even paid Wickham money in order to marry Elizabeth´s sister so that her family wouldn´t turn out looking bad. Something that stood out to Alejandra, was that it was challenging and it was a great book and I thought so too. There were times when I had to re'read something because it didn´t make much sense the first time but overall it was a great book with a great story. I would definately recommend this book to my classmates as well as my friends because it is important for people to read Jane Austen´s work, as Alejandra said, because it is an important part of English literature.
