This review focused mainly on how Jane Austen treated males and females
through out the novel and how manners were a large part of society during this
time. She also gave some historical background about Jane Austen and Pride and
Prejudice. Francis summarized the novel in a few short paragraphs but got
straight to the point. She did an excellent job in carefully analyzing each character
and the story. Francis noted that Jane Austen was unable to create a believable
male character but was very good at depicting the women since Austen had more
contact with women. Austen never showed signs of turmoil of the French
Revolution in her novels, which Francis and many readers noticed.

Sparknotes gave a great overview of the plot of the story. This summary is more
detailed and explains the story very clearly, which is great for a person who is
interested in reading the novel. This summary reveals how much drama that
occurs in this novel but also the romance that is happening along side. This is
what keeps this novel a page-turner. I found this summary quite insightful and I
was able to see how the story unfolds.

GradeSaver gave a more detailed summary of the novel and gave the reader of
this summary a clearer idea as to whats going on. This summary is something
that can be used as a cheat-sheet for someone who has never read the book but
wants to either discuss the book or take a quiz on it. I found this summary much
more detailed which was something that I enjoyed being that I had never read this
book in my life.

great for someone who wants to enjoy the book but has a tight schedule.

This summary gives a great synopsis of the story but it also informs the reader of
this summary that this book isnt all about finding romance. This book is a
representation of how the social classes and women were like during this time. I
think this summary provided great information about the story and was very
meticulous about all the different relationships, romantic or not, that were
concurrently occurring in the book.

This review really views this novel as a whole rather than focusing on just the
relationship of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. The author of this review was not
primarily focused on the love stories but was focused on how the characters
attitudes and decisions could be seen as lesson on heroism and how each character
shines in their own way. This review was beautifully written and allowed the
reader to create their own ideas of how the book was going to unfold.

After reading the summary, the title of the novel makes complete sense. Elizabeth
