The writing is so good and the story is even better. Emma just read better to me than Pride and Prejudice and I felt like the overall story was better. I still love Pride and Prejudice I just love Emma more for this aspect. So Emma wins this round!!!

Jane Austen’s books are not difficult to read. Yes, the language used is Classical English, but don’t get too bothered by it. Once you read it in a flow, you’ll understand it’s meaning clearly. Just focus on the story.

First thing’s first: Pride and Prejudice is not that hard. But it is challenging. I don’t want you to get so discouraged by what others say that you don’t even attempt the book. But if you do decide to power through Pride and Prejudice you’re going to need some help, and there’s no shame in that.

Definitely. The language is pretty simple, for anybody, be it proficient in English, or barely adept at the language. Also, Pride and Prejudice is one of my all-time favorites, so I would recommend you to read and enjoy the story. Also, just to give you a heads up, it is basically a story of romance.

In Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice, one could argue that Fitzwilliam Darcy symbolically represents pride while Elizabeth Bennet represents prejudice. Darcy is depicted as an extremely wealthy aristocrat who hails from an affluent family and is very self-possessed. Unlike his close friend Mr.

She doesn’t want her brother to marry Jane partly because Mrs. Bennet is so horrible (our sympathies), and partly because she’s constructed this fantasy where she marries Mr. Darcy and her brother marries Miss Darcy. (Keeping it in the family, you know.)

After Jane and Mr. Bingley were married, they stayed at Netherfield for only a year, finally unable to handle being in close vicinity to her family, especially her mother. Bingley purchased an estate said to be “within thirty miles” of Pemberley, the home of Darcy and Elizabeth.
