Pride and Prejudice is probably Jane Austen's best known work. Elizabeth has to deal with her own Pride, and Mr. Darcy, her "love interest," and how they both reconcile that throughout the story. Austen is a beautiful writer, and she encourages her readers to experience her stories through beautiful language that is not found in popular literature today. Jane Austen has taught me so much about creating characters and a realistic world that is both rich in imagery and language. She sacrifices nothing in her story telling, and I love the amount of characters she introduces and the story-within-a-story she weaves so carefully.
