4.3
Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language, since its immediate success in 1813. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own dear child" and her vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." A splendid perf... ormance of civilized sparring is the romantic clash between the thought-provoking Elizabeth and her proud beauty, Mr. Darcy. And the radiant wit of Jane Austen glistens as her characters dance a delicate quadrilla of flirtation and intrigue, making this book Regency England's most superb comedy of manners.

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.
