I have read to chapter 6 (don't worry mrs admen I have planned to finish by this time next week) in Pride and Prejudice. A general run through of the chapters thus far include the news of Bingleys arrival and the fuse between the family, the ball and Bingleys obvious love for Jane, Darcy being introduced as a rude and disagreeable individual, Jane admits her likings for Bingley to Elizabeth and Darcy begins to admire Elizabeth. There are fundamental themes that already appearing in the text, such as love and reputation. Love is obvious as the Bennets are always searching for love, it appears that marriage is an extremely important thing to these people. The reputation is also obvious through the way the characters, especially Mrs Bennet, talks.
Elizabeth Bennet, the second daughter of the Bennet family, is the protagonist of the book 'Pride and Prejudice'. She appears to be the most intelligent of the Bennet sisters. She copes with her perky mother well and is close with her father. She has numerous admirable qualities- she is lovely, clear, and in a novel defined by dialogue, she can converse brilliantly.
Although I am only a short way through the book, I am enjoying it. I like the love theme and the drama it seems to bring with it. The only think I don't like is the way it is written, as in 'olden day' speech. It sometimes confuses me.
