Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is a romantic novel by Jane Austen, first published anonymously in three volumes in 1813. It is considered a classic of English literature, written with incisive wit and superb character delineation . The story centers on the turbulent relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich aristocratic landowner .

Set in rural England in the early 19th century, the novel follows the Bennet family, which includes five very different sisters. Mrs. Bennet is anxious to see all her daughters married, especially as the modest family estate is to be inherited by William Collins when Mr. Bennet dies. At a ball, the wealthy Charles Bingley takes an immediate interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. The encounter between his friend Darcy and Elizabeth is less cordial. Although Austen shows them intrigued by each other, she reverses the convention of first impressions: pride of rank and fortune and prejudice against the social inferiority of Elizabeth's family hold Darcy aloof, while Elizabeth is equally fired both by the pride of self-respect and by prejudice against Darcy's snobbery
