Rendering the power of classical fiction( April 23, 2012)

I could go on and on about this, but I will try to be as concise as possible in my journal entry today. I have recently started reading the infamous novel by one of the most delightful and cherished writers of all times written by Jane Austen- Pride and Prejudice. I have read this work in a simplified chinese version before and found myself quite engaged in the contents of the story. This time as my fingers skimmed through the pages marked with dark black prints of the victorian literature, I found myself even more engrossed. I adore the witty, bitter humor that was possessed by the heroine- Elizabeth Bennet and her father. I also enjoy reading about the conversations passed on between Elizabeth and Darcy as they debated on topics relating to vanity, pride, and prejudice. The dialogue between Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet were also particularly amusing, as Mr. Bennet does not care for politeness with his wife and can speak whatever is on his mind. I, of course, also enjoyed the clashing romance throughout the novel. Unlike most modern novels, romance in this novel developed sweet, tenderly, and most realistically. There is no such context in the book that included a girl in some high school seeing a new guy and felt this irresistible attraction to him. She followed him around( or the other way around) and eventually found out he was a vampire. Sorry Twilight Fans, but this is mocking gold! Can't afford to miss it! Haha, just kidding.
