i've heard pride and prejudice is a pretty good book, have you read it?
1_Wizard
I have! Jane Austen published it in 1813, but it's remained a popular classic!

what is it about?
1_Wizard
It's a story about the Bennet family of Longbourn. There are five daughters in the family, but none of them can inherit the family estate so they must marry well.

that sounds interesting! Maybe i should read this one

You should! The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love instead of money, even though money would make everyone's lives more comfortable. I think that's still an issue in today's society!

i agree with you on that. It's funny how it's still relevant 200 years later

The main character, Elizabeth Bennet, learns that she often makes hasty judgements and learns to appreciate the difference between wants and needs. A lot of us can learn from that!

She sounds like a spoiled rich brat

I think it's how she was raised. Her mom had no family fortune, only her father, and he pushed his girls to marry well so they would be able to support the family upon his death.
