  Pride and Prejudice is fantastic

  It is really nice to stop by and write a short review about this favorite classic Pride and Prejudice. As is with many others in the world, Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors and though this book was written almost 180 years ago, it still has so many fans all around the globe. In this book, the protagonist Elizabeth Bennett is a witty and smart young daughter of an English gentleman. The plot revolves around Elizabeth and Darcy, and the book effortlessly describes Darcy's pride about his social status contrary to the prejudice displayed by Elizabeth against his arrogant behavior. You will surely love the portrayal of other characters in the book like Charles Bingley, Mr. Wickham and the other Bennet girls Jane, Mary, Kitty, and also Lydia. The novel has a happy ending when Elizabeth accepts his love and overrides her prejudice against Darcy and their love finally culminates into a marriage. Also, Jane gets married to Mr. Bingley and Lydia gets married to Mr. Wickham. As a classic, it will surely be liked be readers of all generations and ages, especially young adults. It's surely a classic and brilliant literary work and should be picked up for its brilliant literary merit.
