If
you are a student of English literature then you should have read Pride
and Prejudice written by famous novelist Jane Austen. The main theme of
this novel is love
and marriage. The litterateur has dealt with this theme throughout her
novel.
Jane
Austen belonged to the Romantic Age, but she hardly had anything
similar to that time. Instead, her ideas were more or less similar to that of
the Victorian time. Jane Austen lived mainly inside her house and did not go
out that much. So, she was not that much influenced by events like the French
Revolution- something that inspired Wordsworth and Coleridge to start the
Romantic Movement in English literature. Instead, Jane Austen was concerned
about the condition of women. She knew that for a girl, finding a suitable
husband was more important than thinking about the ideas of the French
Revolution- liberty, equality and fraternity. In Pride and Prejudice, we cannot
find any other thing except the idea of love and marriage.
