my first book review... please enjoy it....
first, let us give credit to my roommate because she is the one who lend me this book... before this, i only heard about this book and the movies (adaptation from the book)... as i can recalled, Jane Austen was one of the famous English authors and the novel had become one of the most famous books in English literature... well, her writing showed it all... it was matured and the sentences were beautifully crafted and bombastic.. some words just too difficult for me and it took me some time to digest it... i'm an amateur... it crushed my pride knowing the truth that i can never be in par with her...

| movie version |
it started when a young man named Mr Bingley came to the neighbourhood and let a house there.. he became the center of attraction as all families which has unmarried daughters would like to have him as a son-in-law... Rich and unmarried... whoever caught his attention would lead a luxurious life... in addition, he had a great personality and manners too... in short, he's PERFECT....

upon hearing this news, Mrs Bennet thought this is a perfect plan for one of her 5 unmarried daughters... A party was held and Mr Bingley came with his best friends, Mr Darcy... all guests were astounded by him.. good-looking and richer than Mr Bingley, he is sure better than Mr Bingley... However, admiration turns to disgust when all the guests realised how proud he is and he makes no effort to mingle with others... he is a complete opposite on Mr Bingley... how can they even be best friends?

| Mr Darcy |
Jane Bennet, the eldest daughter caught Mr Bingley attention and they became close.. Jane also had a good relationship with Mr Bingley's sister... Jane's hope to become Mr Bingley's wife roused... Jane was a nice typical girl which always thinking the best about others and never suspect others.. she's a girl that will be a good wife in the future....

| Jane Bennet |
on the other hand, Jane had a sister, Elizabeth... Lizzy was a pretty and wise girl yet too prejudice with people around her especially Mr Darcy... she cared so much about her sister, Jane... her personality attracted Mr Darcy... however, she hated him... their conflicts will be revealed later...

| character map of this story |
Lizzy met Mr Darcy in a ball and quickly adressed him as a rich and arrogant man... this prejudice led her to believe any awful stories about him... hatred bloomed as well as love... conflicts surfaced when Lizzy believed that Mr Darcy was trying to separate her sister with Mr Bingley...
when Mr Darcy confessed his love towards Lizzy, it was unbearable and Lizzy can't take it anymore... she spitted all out... Mr Darcy, upon hearing this, turned red due to humiliation and anger... he stormed off the house..
at that moment, Lizzy finally realised that she was totally wrong about her feeling toward Mr Darcy... she cried and cried... the next morning, the disheveled Mr Darcy came to her with a letter explaining everything...
Lizzy was embarassed with herself and thought she was stupid to jump into an early conclusion about Mr Darcy... when she met again with him, he was totally different... he even helped her with her problem...in my opinion, he take everything she said to him into account and changed himself.. it is unbelievable to see a man like him to change drastically... LOVE, conquer all...
this time, she accepted him... adorable isn't it??? a storyline doesn't have to be heavy and complicated cause it might clouded the story.. as long as we have the main idea, even a simplest story can be interesting.... as for me, the storyline is strong enough to uphold the idea... usually i preferred a heavy, twisted and complicated storyline... it is more interesting, i always say... this time, i was dumbfounded with myself as this story satisfied me.. overall, daebak!!!!
