Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice 1813 Fiction

It is certainly a testament to Jane Austen's bitingly funny writing style that a book, if you boiled it down to simply plot, would not likely capture my attentions like Pride and Prejudice has. Instead, my inner monologue is yelling at Elizabeth to simply sit closer to Mr. Darcy, speak true her heart, with the same force which it might yell at a horror movie final girl for going up the stairs while the killer chases her. There is so much tension in these pages, so much humor and entertainment, that I was caught completely off-guard, despite her works obviously being canonized as classics. To see it firsthand was a real treat.
