Love In Pride And Prejudice

During Jane Austen’s time in the 19th century, women have felt as if it was socially unacceptable to live a life, single. In ”Pride and Prejudice”, the author brings attention to this struggle when she opens the story with the first sentence. “It is a truth universally acknowledge, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” (Austen 3). The word “marriage” has been put on a pedestal for numerous years. That does not mean that people who are married have ever lasting happiness.

Throughout the novel, they are brought closer together when Elizabeth starts to develop feelings for Mr. Darcy who still loved her even after the rejection. This shows how strong they have become by overcoming their differences and how solid their relationship will be. In the future, they will certainly have their ups and downs, however, they are certain to get through it. They are going to live happily together, and would revel in each other’s
