Pride and Prejudice

Some of you are wondering why I am writing about these very complex subjects, someones pride and prejudice (thinking a individual/group something they are not). I have been passionately in love with this movie called Pride and Prejudice. It is a period romance film set in regency England. The characters of this film, a large family consisting of five sister all out in society and wanting to get married. After Elizabeth, the main heroine meets Mr. Darcy a rich, proud, and some what handsome man; she sees him very unsocial and rude. The film continues with all sorts of twists that are unexpected (not to ruin it for you, if you are interested).
After seeing this film and loving it, I researched it and found out that it was based on a book by Jane Austen. I found it quite interesting and quite ironic how the author having wrote many books about love, was never lucky to find love herself. Researching more deeply, Austen however did encounter love. But did not get the opportunity to get married and live happily ever after. Watching another film called Becoming Jane, I got the inside look at the life of Jane Austen. Feeling sorry for her, I should say: with her unluckiness with love. But I still admire her, for writing such beautiful books that help us look into courtships of people many years ago. She is now a part of history.
I love Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice!
