It deals with a very proud man and a woman that has too many prejudices. It isn’t before they both see that they are wrong that they can love each other. Pride and Prejudice is a romantic novel in which manners are very important. It’s been first published in 1813. My version: Blackbirds 1992 THEME: Idea’s and manners can be changed. I don’t know what else to make of it. It’s the only lesson I can find in the novel. I read because I enjoy it, not because I want to be taught life visions.
