Pride and Prejudice

Actually I am not the right one to judge English literature particularly Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" at it holds a great place in the English literature development. Therefore this review of mine may different from reviews of subjects (as gaming and films) where I am sure and confident of my judgment and knowledge and be merely a explanation of my humble opinion on this great piece of art.

The first thing I noticed about the book is the great sentence structure as the important part of the sentence or if you want to call it the kick is always in the end. Which is difficult to read (for a non native speaker like me) until you get used to it and afterwards it gives the reading pleasure a great flow.

Other than that I have to admit that I find that the "love" connection between Jane and Mr. Bingly  is explained to loosely or (expressed differently)  the reader is not allowed to really root for them. Through out the book it becomes very clear and quiet simply understandable that Elizabeth wants this connection of her sister to Mr. Bingly really much and we can also conclude that she wants it for the happiness of Jane. But in respect to Jane I do not get the feeling that she really wants to be with Mr. Bignly expect may be in the last parts of the books. This can be due to two things.

-The author wanted the reader to see and evaluate this connection through the  thoughts of Elizabeth and in the ending bee certain that they were meant to be together

-This cold relationship is wanted from the author to even emphasize the main theme more, that runs through the whole book.

I think the theme of the book is given by the different social circles and the connection, relationship, want and expectations from and to each other. For example this interrelation between this social circles is seen that by this time people married because they had to or otherwise they would have no where to live and no one to care for them. A social situation which pushed many characters into different social circles like Miss Lucas, Jane and even Lydia. This is also important because it gives the reader inside on relations of different persons and how different stages in the society are present and how it is uncommon to mix between these different stages. And that the rich do not care but to be in companion with other rich and the poor well they try to make the best out of their situation.

And while we are on the subject of money Ialso want to add that this book is very much about love in relation to money. As we see that Elizabeth mind and thoughts about Mr. Darcy changes after she sees the beauty and greatness of Pemberly. And this part of the book is maybe even the part with the greatest connection to modern times. Of course it is possible to interpret the social situations now with the situations explained in the book but for a simple reader the love-money connection is the most easiest to insert into everyday (modern) thoughts.
