"Amy's beloved Pride and Prejudice is a flawless work of genius. He's proud, she's prejudiced, it just works." Sheldon Cooper
The plot follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second-eldest of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.
When two wealthy young men, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, arrive in the neighborhood, the Bennets are all aflutter. Mr. Bingley is immediately taken with Elizabeth's older sister, Jane, and Mr. Darcy is attracted to Elizabeth herself. However, Mr. Darcy's pride and Elizabeth's prejudice lead to misunderstandings and complications.
Pride and Prejudice is a classic love story, but it is also a sharp social satire. Austen wittily exposes the hypocrisy and snobbery of the landed gentry. She also explores the themes of love, marriage, and self-discovery.
Pride and Prejudice is an immensely influential work, considered universally among the greatest English novels.
