A lot of people seem to asume she was really high class for some reason, even though she wasn't. She was part of the gentry , but her father was just a parishioner, they were relatively poor for a gentry family. She wasn't super poor, but her family struggled to make ends meets, she was definetly poorer than most of the characters she wrote about. Towards the end of her life she lived in a tiny apartment with her sister with the little money her brothers could afford to give them and what she earned from her books (which wasn't much).

Jane Austen is hilarious if you know how to read in between the lines. This is why I never understood how BuzzFeed could say Pride and Prejudice is a "red flag" book and says anyone who likes the book is waiting for a man to save them. Did the writer read P&P?? And if so did they misunderstand the entire book?

It could be cuz not in mood for classic reading. I hope you enjoy the book❤

Jane Austen has been my favorite author for years. Some people dismiss her novels as Cinderella stories but a closer look we find a sharp observer of human nature, her age when she began writing novels is amazing. She began several of them as a teenager.

Loved it. It's wonderful how her books still relatable nowadays!

i remember reading a simplified version of Pride and Prejudice as a young child and when i was 12(?or so), I read the actual book and as a 14(nearly 15) yr old, I read the manga version of it. I’ve also read the manga version of Les Miserables and Emma. Can’t wait till libraries are open again.

I didn't know there are so many ways to describe "sassy" without using the word itself. Well done!

One thing I love about Austen’s books is when I’m reading them I see myself or friends and family in the characters, her work is so real. One of my all time favorite Authors!

Jane was such a genius Even the characters you take for granted are very important and events that seem to ruin the story really get people together like in pride and prejudice, mr bingley moved to London again without Jane which was such a support for Lizzie and her drama with Darcy, even mr Collins is essential to her finding out about Wickham and meeting Lady Catherine!

If y'all enjoy Jane Austen, you should check out Frances Burney (Evelina, Cecelia, Camilla). She was a direct influence on the writing of Jane Austen to such an extent that Austen picked the name Pride and Prejudice from a line in Burney's novel Cecelia. She's very underrated but Evelina was so much fun to read!
