Pride and Prejudice assignment 4

What i like about this book so far is that it's a book i wouldn't normally be interested in, but it still grabs my attention by adding humerus topics and making fun of the society in that era. Also, Jane Austen was pretty bold to call out the rules that people in that day were used to by making a woman character (Elizabeth) be so witty and smart, and able to out smart the adult males in the book. Also at the beginning of "Pride and Prejudice", she says that a man with a lot of money MUST be looking to get married. I think she wrote this because from a woman's perspective, they have to find a rich man to marry, or they won't be able to live very well. Another thing I like about this book is he way that Jane Austen describes the characters. Unlike Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen uses dialog instead of long paragraphs to describe her characters. Also, the way that Darcy starts out thinking that Elizabeth was just stupid, dumb, and ugly and changes almost instantly into thinking, maybe there's more to that girl, and wow she has some pretty eyes. So overall I think that this book is a lot more fun to read then "Jane Eyre" because of the happiness shared in this book and the way Mr. Bingley behaves all the time.
