Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a classic novel of manners and social commentary set in early 19th-century England. The story follows Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters in a respectable but financially struggling family, as she navigates the complex world of love, marriage, and social expectations.

The novel’s central plot revolves around Elizabeth's evolving relationship with the wealthy and seemingly aloof Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Initially, Elizabeth is put off by Darcy's pride and haughty demeanor, while Darcy is equally prejudiced against her lower social status. However, as the story unfolds, both characters are forced to confront their own biases and misjudgments, leading to personal growth and a deeper understanding of each other.

In addition to the main romance, Pride and Prejudice introduces a rich cast of characters, each representing different facets of society, from the frivolous and materialistic Mrs. Bennet to the kind and humble Mr. Bingley. The novel explores themes of class, marriage, and the societal pressures placed on women, all while showcasing Austen's trademark wit, sharp social observations, and keen eye for character development.#dhari.pk
