"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen is a classic novel written in the early 19th century. The story delves into themes of love, social class, and individual agency, largely revolving around the life of Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters from a modest but genteel family navigating the complex social landscape of Regency England. The opening of the novel introduces the seemingly universal truth that a single man of wealth is a target for matchmaking mothers in the neighborhood.
