I have so many thoughts about “Pride and prejudice” and I simply cannot describe it as “just romance”. First and foremost, for me, it’s a bitter and ironic commentary on the society, that can stil apply to this day. Think about it; think about how each and every character is essentially flawed. How relationships between them show hipocricy on everyone’s sides, how Austen creates a brilliant image of a chaotic household where both of the parents are ignorant in some kind of way, leading to this great generational cycle of misfortune. How there are more of such families, and they constantly interact, exchanging their flawed ideas, leadinig to forming even more differences between high and low societies. Think about the pride of hight societies. How overcoming that pride seems to be a virtue, and how ignorance takes different forms, each dangerous.
