Pride and prejudice has consistently regarded as Jane Austen's most popular novel.
In my opinion, Chapter 1 of Pride and Prejudice is classical and famous. Many researchers study on this chapter. I know there are several editions of chinese translation of this chapter, especially the first setence, also the first paragraph of this chapter:"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." When I read this sentence for the first time, I feel it's funny. However, after I read it for two more times and think about it, I feel it's reasonable. Hehe! Very interesting!
In this first chapter, characters of Mr Bennet and Mrs Bennet are represented vividly by the simple words!
I began to pay much attention on this novel when I was in the college on the literature class. The teacher is very kind and teach us carefully. He studied and taught in Canada for a long time. At that time, we and the teacher learned this novel sentence by sentence, and the teacher explain every colorful and witty word and even punctuation. I miss our teacher and that wonderful time!

I don't think a lot of peopel realize how funny Jane Austen really was. They think that old books are dull books. Austen was so perceptive about her time. You were fortunate to have such a wonderful teacher!


myLot reputation of 91/100. Bd200789 (1637)  1 year ago

I agree. Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books. She was very perceptive.

I enjoyed watching this movie over and over again and i am currently reading the novel of Jane Austen...Her way of writing is very different from the current authors but she was able to describe everything in perfect details.


myLot reputation of 88/100. messenger012 (154)   ranked 3 out of 33 in pride and prejudice  1 year ago

Thank you for your responding!
I ever watch the movie,the oldest version,very interesting!
describe everything in perfect details!!
Classical works need to be read word by word and carefully. Maybe I should read Pride and Prejudice once again!

pride and prejudice is a masterpiece..one of those books you have to read if you want to have a good reading culture..she was not only clever but also so humorous and she was a great writer, indeed..the first chapter is a sort of masterpiece into a masterpiece..the first sentence is regarded as an example in many writing classes and I think you and your teacher were right about it..and of course she or he was a great teacher indeed..I am another fan of Jane AUsten..if you want, you can read a discussion of mine about her and find a link to a good site


myLot reputation of 88/100. messenger012 (154)   ranked 3 out of 33 in pride and prejudice  1 year ago

Thank you for your response, and thank you much for you providing more information about Austen!
And what's your job? Maybe if it's possible, you can exchange your idea with my teacher. However, It's pity that I can't get touch with my teacher now! Pity!
Good luck to you, maribea!

The novel is indeed a well-written classic. Jane Austen's sense of humor is infectious. And it's interesting how the social issues that haunted and taunted her age still concern a great number of us today. Many still seek advantageous marriages, fortune and family are still important considerations, and pride and prejudice still hinder healthy relationships.


myLot reputation of 88/100. messenger012 (154)   ranked 3 out of 33 in pride and prejudice  1 year ago

It seems that many people are interested in Austen and her works. I am very glad to get all your ideas and understanding about Austen and her works!
Thank you for your responding, silvergrey!
