    Soon after two o'clock one night, long ago, the cook, pale and agitated, rushed unexpectedly into my study and informed me that Madame Mimotih, the old woman who owned the house next door, was sitting in her kitchen."She begs you to go in to her, sir…" said the cook, panting. "Something bad has happened about her lodger… He has shot himself or hanged himself…""What can I do?" said I. "Let her go for the doctor or for the police!"
    "How is she to look for a doctor! She can hardly breathe, and she has huddled under the stove, she is so frightened… You had better go round, sir."
    I put on my coat and hat and went to Madame Mimotih's house. The gate towards which I directed my steps was open. After pausing beside it, uncertain what to do, I went into the yard without feeling for the porter's bell. In the dark and dilapidated porch the door was not locked. I opened it and walked into the entry. Here there was not a glimmer of light, it was pitch dark, and, moreover, there was a marked smell of incense. Groping my way out of the entry I knocked my elbow against something made of iron, and in the darkness stumbled against a board of some sort which almost fell to the floor. At last the door covered with torn baize was found, and I went into a little hall...

    Pride & Prejudice - Full Cast Drama

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is a literary masterpiece that has captivated readers for over two centuries. Published in 1813, the novel remains a quintessential work of English literature, celebrated for its keen social commentary, memorable characters, and enduring themes. 
     
    At its core, "Pride and Prejudice" is a story of love and societal expectations in early 19th-century England. The novel introduces us to the headstrong and intelligent Elizabeth Bennet and the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. Their initial encounters are marked by pride and prejudice, with both harboring preconceived notions about each other. However, as the narrative unfolds, Austen masterfully peels back the layers of pride and prejudice to reveal the vulnerability and depth of these characters. 
     
    Austen's exploration of the themes of pride and prejudice goes beyond the romantic relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. It extends to a broader examination of the rigid social hierarchy and the judgments people make based on class and appearances. The characters in the novel, from the haughty Lady Catherine de Bourgh to the witty but judgmental Mr. Collins, represent different facets of societal pride and prejudice. Through these characters, Austen invites readers to reflect on the consequences of holding onto such biases. 
     
    One of the enduring strengths of "Pride and Prejudice" lies in its timeless relevance. While the novel is firmly rooted in its historical context, the themes it explores—love, marriage, social expectations, and personal growth—are universally applicable. .
