Pride and Prejudices 2

Now we have read pretty much of the book, i can appreciate Austen's style easilier as much as the themes she brought up. Actually, the adorable ending is famous, but it's interesting to see how the autor manages to put characters together and to make readers' mind change. The first impressions we had about Darcy and Wickham are now totally reversed, Darcy being a gentleman and Wickham a seflish person thinking only of money. Even Mr Benett, who seemed very nice at first, now seems not to take care of his family, his brother Mr Gardiner occupying this role. However, Jane and Elizabeth keep the same way of acting, and remain nice to readers' point of view. I like the fact we can't really expect what is going to happen, particularly because the reactions characters have to events is characteristic of a time period we don't know well and can't totally imagine. I think this novel really accomplish the work of making characters interacting together, as a social network. At first, it was hard to understand well who were the main characters and what they were supposed to do, but now the action is etablished, this book is really easy and pleasant to read.
