Pride and Pejudice






Minor Spoilers ahead so if you haven't read/seen Pride and Pejudice, don't read this post.




Formats: Book (1813), Movie (1940), TV series (1980), TV series (1995), Movie (2005).

Summary:
Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by Jane Austen. It is set in the 1800s and follows the drama of the Bennet family. Their lives revolve around the goal of having all five Bennet daughters married (preferably to someone rich like Mr. Bingley or Mr. Darcy). Elizabeth Bennet, the second oldest girl is clever and witty and is the main character. I won’t spoil the whole plot in my summary in the hope that people will read the book if they haven’t already.

Underlying morals:
It is better to have dignity than to have fun.
Do not judge people on their appearance.


Practise makes Perfect.


If you don't talk to people, (even if you're just shy) people will probably think you're a snob.


Don't marry a Mr. Collins.

The Moral of the Story:
Don’t judge people if you don’t know them well.
First impressions almost always suck.
