Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice narrates the adventures and love misadventures of the Bennet sisters, focusing on the character of Elizabeth, through which the author comically presents the society of her time and places women in a more notorious place than the one it corresponded to him in his time with the figure of the protagonist.The unique relationship that exists between Lizzy and Darcy is undoubtedly the greatest attraction of the work, since the reader is attracted throughout the story by it, which goes through very different phases until finally reaching the acceptance of love for part of the two. Despite the fact that many consider the story that Austen presents us to be romantic, the author seems to be moving away from the prototype of love narration that she used to give. The protagonists stumble, they make mistakes. It is rather a realistic vision of what a romance between two people can become, where things may not always turn out as we wish.Regarding the satire part of the novel, Jane Austen uses irony as an indispensable resource; the characterization of her characters and of the time in general is plagued with sharp comments from the writer, who is used to ridiculing the frivolous aspects of the society in which she lives. The pathos of many of its characters gives the comic touch to the work, a fact that counteracts the more formal tone that is given to the story of the romances. We see a clear example in the main character's parents: Mrs. Bennet, a "woman of little 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 such different characters creates fun family situations that enliven the reading and make the work more than just a story of love affairs.
