Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) is most commonly regarded as a story of love. The narrative does indeed follow a marriage plot line, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet do fall in love and get married, but where within the narrative do we see any true sentiment revealed? The linear plot stretches from beginning to end; from their first meeting to their inevitable marriage.
