The idea
What is Pride and Prejudice?
Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's 1813 novel about Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five sisters in a family whose estate will pass to a male cousin, and her changing opinion of the wealthy, reserved Mr Darcy. She first dismisses him as proud; he first dismisses her family as beneath him. Through Wickham's lies, Darcy's letter and his quiet help in a family scandal, both learn to see past their first judgements. The novel is a comedy of manners about marriage, money, class and self-knowledge.

Where learners get stuck
Why Pride and Prejudice is hard
Austen's irony means the narrator often says the opposite of what she means, so readers miss the jokes. Keeping the sisters, suitors and the entail straight, and seeing why marriage was an economic question, takes context.
The picture a good explanation starts with: A character web with the five Bennet sisters in the centre, suitors around them, and arrows marked pride, prejudice, money and affection showing who misjudges whom at the start.
