Paper and Prejudice (1/3)

Okay, so The Great Gatsby wasn't that bad. I was going to read something easier for my free choice book, but I chose to read another classic I'd probably want to read sometime in my life. Most of my friends told me that Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen was a good book, so Pride and Prejudice it is.

Here is my version of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Pride and Prejudice is a love story published in the 1800s, and I've heard that Jane Austen often includes feminist elements in her works. In the 1800s, society was male-dominated and gender roles were prevalent. Men were the head of the house, women weren't allowed to own property, and women couldn't have certain jobs that men could have. All a woman's job was to marry a man and give him all of her inheritance, and a single woman was often ridiculed. Marriage is going to be an inevitable topic in the book, because in the 1800s people got married, not dated when it came to love (did most people even marry out of love? Not often). The cover of the book has a very fancy place, possibly a ballroom or some hall, so the main character would probably be rich. Rich people will obviously have a bit of pride unless they're very humble, and possibly be prejudiced against lower classes, or against women if they're male.

I'm going to be looking for a lot of feminist characters, and see how the romance happens. A dramatic romance in this era would be if a female doesn't just "serve" the male of the relationship, and if that does happen, that should be interesting.
