It’s a miserable story about a girl named Catherine Sloper. This story seems to tell us if a handsome man meant to court a dull girl with a lot of fortune, it must exactlly be chase for her property but herself.

Then Mr. Morris should be this handsome man who amused Catherine so much that she fell in love with him deeply. However, unfortunately, Catherine had got a intelligent father Dr. Sloper who immediately was conscious of Morris’ real attempt and knew about his selfish and lazy character. Then, of course, Dr. Sloper went against their marriage, and said if they got married without his consent, he’ll leave nothing even a penny to his daughter.

The fact proved Dr. Sloper’s thought, Morris left Catherine soon and Catherine’d been led a lonely and miserable life afterwards.

I think foolish is much worse than poor to people, that is this story tell me.

Keep in mind: there’s no free lunch in the world, to get something what you deserve.

My journal after reading 《Pride and Prejudice》

Jane Austen is the most famous writer in England even the world, she wrote many novels consist of , of course the most important one is which actually might tell us a story about love.

This story tell us that even though there’s pride and prejudice, people can get together for something which is much stronger than pride and prejudice being called love.

I only want to mention about the protagonist Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, for they are connected to the title directly and evidently.

It begins with Mr. Darcy showed up with proud expression and behaviour, and then Miss Elizabeth considered him as a disdainful man, you see, that’s something about prejudice. Anyway Mr. Darcy fell in love with Elizabeth for her virtue and fine eyes, but Elizabeth was sick of Darcy whom did his best to show goodwill though, and she even rejected Darcy’s proposal bitterly.

Fortunately they’d got many chances to spend some time together and know more about each other, eventually, Elizabeth got rid of her prejudice and was conscious of Darcy’s good character. Of course, the story is not end at this moment, for the common nature of girls, after a long time of hesitation, Elizabeth accepted Darcy and then they got married.

The style of writing from Austen’s very exquisite and amusing which make her very renowned even till now.
