Judging a book by it's cover

Pride and Prejudice…I can’t really say I see what has people so hyped about this book, but this wouldn’t be the first book in that category. I guess I’ll just chalk that up to the fact that I am not a humanities major. I swear the hardest thing to keep track of is who is talking and when since the women are referred to as Miss. or Mrs., and if you don’t pay attention, well…shit, you either reread the entire page, or you just hope you’re thinking of the right person.

The characters are aight, but other than Jane Bennet, Wickham, and Mr. Darcy, the other characters are uninteresting. Jane Bennet is an interesting character because she is like this optimistic, ever-so-pleasant girl in the series. Remember Lila from Hey Arnold?

Yeah, she’s basically what I would imagine Jane Bennet to be like (same voice too). Being raised in the same society as all the other women, she’s different. She chooses to see the bright side in everyone (which obviously is a double-edged sword), but she’s also not phony, which can be appreciated.

Wickam is just interesting because of his motives. Like most of the things he does seem to be driven by wealth. He attempts to elope with Mr. Darcy’s sister in order to become wealthy, and I understand why that’s wrong, but what about Mrs.Bennet? I’m sure she wants her daughters to be happy, but she wants to pimp her daughters out the richest man in the town. In that sense is she much different from him?

Now Darcy…lmao, he seems to cause pretty much all the problems in the story. His past strife with Wickham brings him to Hertfordshire, he suggests that Mr. Bingley break up with Jane, and his prejudice towards Elizabeth (and really everyone else) makes her (and everyone else) resent him, driving her towards Wickham and then later Lydia. Like imagine, if he was as nice as Mr.Bingley…story coulda been a lot shorter.
