Features: Pride and Prejudice is a love story about the young couple Elizabeth Bennet and William Darcy. At first, they always had misunderstandings. The story takes place in the late 18th century, about 50 miles outside of London, Hertfordshire (located in the southeastern part of England, UK). The book vividly depicts the difficulties of women's lives at that time, as they could hardly control their own fate. Due to the British society in the 18th century placing great importance on social status, personal demeanor, and talents, women did their best to find wealthy husbands.
