Book Review By Hannah
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Taking place in the early 1800's is a romantic comedy about the pride of a man and the prejudice of a woman. In a time where the only way for a woman to become wealthy, or increase her social status is by marrying, there is a family of Bennets. When a young and wealthy Mr. Bingly purchases an estate near the Bennets home, it is only a matter of time until Jane (the oldest Bennet), and the amiable object fall in love. Mr. Darcy, however, (Mr. Bingly's good friend who is staying with him at the time) does not approve of the match, and with his many other disqualifies, Darcy unwillingly persuades the town of his conceited foulness. Elizabeth Bennet, the second oldest Bennet, has thus forth sworn to loath him for all of eternity. Through a chain of events, Darcy becomes captivated by Elizabeth, and without the satisfaction of her love, does everything in his power to win her over. But when the youngest Bennet, Lydia, elopes with a sneaky foe (who had fooled them all into thinking he was a friend), some things change.
