Pride and Prejudice Study Guide on CDROM

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

From the sweetness of Jane, to the insensitive arrogance of Lady Catherine, to the silliness and absurdity of Mr. Collins and Mrs. Bennet, Jane Austen exercises wry irony, humor, and a sharp insight into people and relationships. She takes a shrewd look at individual pride and failings and looks at the mores and idiosyncrasies of regency-period society.
