Pride and Prejudice

So far, through all the old English and lack of action, this book has been extremely boring for me to read. Most of what has happened up to this point has been character introduction. There has been very little plot or conflict happening in the story. I was very excited however to read about the ball. It seems as if it would be so much fun to watch, and see all the pretty gowns, and listen to the music while watching others dance. I know I would share in the Bennet sisters’ excitement as they go to a very upper class party.

The characters have definitely created such a big part of the story. Elizabeth Bennet has been shown as the main character, and is who out of all the characters I see the most resemblance to myself. She is very strong willed, and independent. Lizzy (her family nickname) is the second oldest in a family of five girls. Elizabeth I think has been trying to be seen differently than her older sister Jane. When Mr. Bingly a wealthy man moves in a few miles away, Jane has fallen hard in love. Elizabeth however has been looked upon fondly by Mr. Darcy, yet unlike her sister, Elizabeth is much more complex and difficult to figure out by him. Mrs. Bennet has seemed to show a dislike to Elizabeth, which makes me pull for Elizabeth’s side even more.

Usually I am not the kind of person to go for a love story, romantic novel. I am more impulsive to read a book full of action that I can not put down, but Pride and Prejudice   is seeming to me like a classic love story which makes me relate it to when I read Romeo and Juliet last year. Both narrate and have dialogue in very proper English. There has seemed to be a similar mood of happiness and romantic conversations, but in Pride and Prejudice, unlike Romeo and Juliet I think that the heroine Elizabeth is a much more exciting character to read about. So far the ideas of my project include making a movie, or painting a picture of some sort.
