I’m reading “Pride and prejudice” and I’m strangely enjoying it. I like the characters and the story, I’m really hooked with the book, but I don’t really know why it is so interesting and how Austen makes me feel interested in a book that, maybe just in the surface, is so mundane.
In the past, I also read “Sense and sensibility” for University and I also enjoyed it very much.
How do you think Austen makes this? How does she make a realistic and simple book so interesting in its story and its characters?
Nope nope nope. These books are hundreds of years old. Don’t read a thread on Hamlet if you don’t want it spoiled. The Austen canon, particularly P&P is damn near Biblical in its ubiquity in the larger conversation of literature. This is like spoiling one of Aesop’s Fables.
