Pride and Prejudice
Austen wrote the most beloved novel in English and the template for every romantic comedy since — two smart, proud people who misjudge each other until they cannot deny the truth.
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
Why It Matters
Austen wrote the most beloved novel in English and the template for every romantic comedy since — two smart, proud people who misjudge each other until they cannot deny the truth. Elizabeth Bennet's wit and independence made her the prototype for every strong female protagonist in popular fiction. The novel's dissection of class, money, and marriage remains devastatingly accurate.
The 
Take
