[BOOKS] Pride and Prejudice- Ms Benning

Pride and Prejudice, what a lovely and mesmerizing classic which I only got to understand after two hours of concentration and replenishing snacks.

When I first read it, as Jane Austen intended, I read it from Elizabeth Bennet's point of view as required. However after the third attempt of reading I thought,"What an annoying,pestering nightmare Ms. Bennet is?"

But, I think she is every mother that wants the best for her children.In those days women were not expected work or even move without a man!!! Although,Austen romatically potrayed them falling in love, it wasn't like that in real life. So poor Ms Bennet is seen as a regular party pooper,even though she's the only non-fiction character in my opinion that shows as the truth about society then.
