Book Review: Pride and Prejudice Volume 2


Hey guys and gals! Today is the second volume to Pride and Prejudice and I hope you all enjoy!

Just for a quick reminder, Pride and Prejudice was written in 1813, but translated by Penguins Classics in 1994. The author was Jane Austen and the publishing company is located in New York City, New York. The summary for volume 2 is: Jane, not acting as if she has been upset my Mr. Bingley's absence, has Elizabeth gone after the party when Lizzy went to see Charlotte. For 6 weeks, she meets Lady Catherine and her daughter with Mr.Collins and his never ending pompous bragging. However, in that time period, she sees Mr.Darcy and learns much about him and his thoughts about her. Her reaction causes problems between them and others while creating a different view of the people she thought she knew.

The story is a romance, but it becomes stronger when...

SPOILER ALERT!

Mr.Darcy confesses his feeling to her. Not only did she deny him, but when he left, she cried about it proving she didn't want to believe herself. However, towards the end, you read a letter he sent her and it explains why he is the way he is.

My opinion over the story was that I would recommend strongly even though I haven't put up the ending volume yet. (I'll either do it Monday or Wednesday.) I love how you learn more about people and how, even though Mr. Darcy is a jackass in the beginning, you can still pity him and forgive his actions when he opens up to Elizabeth. You fell for Elizabeth in the beginning but once he says his love to her, you beginning to question her actions from before and wonder if she was just in her words.


So, for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!
