 **Literary Information** Genre: Novel Author: Jane Austen Title: //Pirde and Prejudice// Time Period: Victorian Times Style: Narriative

What Worked and Did not Pride and Pejudice is a good book but was really slow to start and get going with the main point of the book. what jane did really well is she had great description and great backgrounds developed throught the book. As the book went on you really felt for the characters to get what they all wanted. When Elizabeth hated Mr. Darcy you hated Mr. Darcy as Elizabeth fell in love with Mr. Darcy you fell in love with him, and this is the part of the book I liked the most because the way you felt what they were feeling at that point. I was really drawn to Elizabeth during this whole book.

​**Why Is this Book Outstanding**? This is and outsanding book for many reasons. First is because it is very detailed the reader can really picture the moment happening in the book. Another reason is how detailed each character is Elizabeth mainly. They all have so many emotions through out the book and the reader really feels them. I personaly got tottaly conected with Elizabeth, she, the main character, is the one person who is always talking and sort of a voice of reason throught the book. She is the civil more proper of all her faimly so people can connect with her more than the others. You see the real Mr. Darcy when he says, "...let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you, might add force to the other inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe, I thought only of you." (Austen 298). Here Mr. Darcy is talking abou the time he help find and pay for Mr. Wickham to marry Lydia when they ran away together. I really liked this part because it shows that Mr. Darcy loves Elizabeth and it just makes me want to go aww.
