"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife..."

Elizabeth Bennet is the protagonist of the novel and the reader sees the unfolding plot and the other characters mostly from her viewpoint. The second of the Bennet daughters at 20 years old, she is intelligent, lively, attractive, and witty, but with a tendency to judge on first impressions . 

 

Mr Darcy is the main male character. Twenty-seven years old and unmarried, he is the wealthy owner of the famous family estate of  Pemberley. Handsome, tall, and intelligent, but not sociable, his aloof decorum and rectitude are seen by many as an excessive pride and concern for social status. He makes a poor impression on strangers, but is valued by those who know him well

 

Han pasado casi 200 años y seguimos leyendo a la gran Jane AUSTEN , también podemos ver su obra en cine, series de televisión, musicales de Broadway... pero ,en mi opinión, nada como perderse entre las líneas de esta célebre escritora inglesa que fotografió como nadie una época y una sociedad en la que las mujeres tenían un rol demasiado marcado.
