Description

Annotations This book is unique because it contains a literary criticism that was made by Jannette TorresPride and Prejudice narrates the adventures and misadventures of the Bennet sisters, focusing on the character of Elizabeth, through which the author presents with comedy the society of her time and places the woman in a more notorious place than the one it corresponded to him in his time with the figure of the protagonist.The singular relationship that exists between Lizzy and Darcy is undoubtedly the main attraction of the work, since the reader is attracted throughout the story by this one, which goes through very different phases until finally arriving at the acceptance of love for part of the two. Although many consider Austen's story to be romantic, the author seems to distance herself from the prototype of a love narrative that was customary to give. The protagonists stumble, they make mistakes. It is rather a realistic view of what can be a romance between two people, where things may not always come out as we wish.With regard to the satire part of the novel, Jane Austen uses irony as an indispensable resource; the characterization of his characters and the time in general is full of sharp comments from the writer, who usually ridicules the frivolous aspects of the society in which she lives. The pathos of many of his characters gives the comic touch to the work, a fact that counteracts the more formal tone given to the story of the romances. A clear example we see in the parents of the protagonist: Mrs. Bennet, a "woman of scant intelligence, little knowledge and fickle humor"; and Mr. Bennet, a strange mixture of "lively wit, sarcastic humor, reserve and extravagance." The particular relationship of two very different characters originates fun family situations that enliven reading and make the work is more than a simple story of love intrigues.Centering her work in a limited world, the one she knew, has been criticized, but this, together with Austen's precision in describing, allows us to perceive almost perfectly the environment of her characters, and even to them, who appear subjects to a portrait that makes us know exactly.On the other hand, the character of Elizabeth is quite implausible for the context that is described to us. Far from resembling the rest of the women in the work, who are superficial, ignorant and even puerile, Lizzy is intelligent, rational as well as romantic, but also non-conformist. Her vision of life can be considered very modern
