RE: Book Journal Week 3 : Pride And Prejudice

Of course it is a novel with feminist overtones, remember that Jane wrote it in 1796 and 1797 when women didn't even dream of having an independence or a voice of their own (let alone writing, as Jane herself did) so Elizabeth's overwhelming personality is a way of giving a voice to women who were forced into arranged marriages at the time.

It's one of my favourite books and I love everything about it although the most amazing thing I think is the narrative (dynamic and interesting) and the dialogue

Sort:  

Good point. She even wrote in pseudonym when writing her novels but as I said above,when put in the first wave feminism, this novel would have made more sense esp when it comes to literary analysis. Anyway, like you said, the dialogue is definitely intriguing.
