3. A retold version of the text
One of Jane Austen’s novels, Pride and Prejudice has a common theme, the search for a suitable partner. This story tells us five young women are looking for their suitable husbands. At that time, the girls needed to marry well if their families were not rich.
In this novel, Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy are two leading characters. In the beginning, the rich man Darcy is proud and unsociable and Elizabeth dislikes him. However, Darcy loves her and eventually they marry.
Elizabeth is my favorite character in this novel. She is interesting and clever, kind and sensible. Jane Austen makes her characters believable and she is very famous for her writing style.
