Pride & Prejudice

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." So begins Jane Austen's most popular novel, Pride and Prejudice. And, of course, a single woman in search of a good fortune must equally be in want of a husband who has one!

The difficulty for the Bennet sisters -- lovely, sweet-tempered Jane; beautiful, headstrong, intelligent Elizabeth (Lizzie); plain, bookish Mary; Kitty, who slavishly follows the lead of the youngest, the empty-headed and man-hungry Lydia -- is that because they have no brother their father's estate will pass to a cousin, the pompous clergyman Mr. Collins, and they will be left with very little to live on. Solution: at least one of them "must marry VERY well" -- meaning, marry money.

Jane Austen had a satiric eye and a ready wit, all of which are present in Lizzie. She accepted the social order of her day, even when she could recognize its absurdities.

Modern critics often see

Modern critics often see Lizzie as a pre-feminist heroine, a liberated woman ahead of her time. But she is not. She lives happily within the social constraints of early 19th century England (the Regency period), and she doesn't fight them. She doesn't burn her corset. She doesn't want a career. She accepts the unfair laws of entail that would rob her and her sisters of their father's estate, because it had to pass to a MALE relative. And she figures out how to have a happy, fulfilling life WITHIN those constraints, not by challenging them. Just like Jane Austen. Leigh, Resident Reader
