Don't get me wrong! I purposely put the above title to indulge my passion in reading Miss Jane Austen's novels, especially the infamous Pride and Prejudice.

I have to admit that, there are certain things that I observe when reading her novels, decorum, elegance, subtle femininity and family values. Reading her novels make me think more critically of the previous society she was in; where women were extremely depended on making good marriages in order to have a better life. There were social classes as well and "connections" mattered in order to secure an excellent match. I remember Maria Lucas said to her sister, Charlotte Lucas, "ohh.. Mary King, she's not that pretty..." which Charlotte then quickly replied, "Beauty is not the only virtue, Maria, I understand that she has just inherited 10 000 pounds!" Then Mrs. Gardiner chirped in, "... and that is a definite virtue!"

But how sad, Jane Austen herself ended up not married because she believed in love marriage, the very idea that she instilled in her lovely Elizabeth Bennet. I hope... hmmmm.... I'm hoping to be a "hopeless romantic" too.... hmmmmmmmmm....

Dare not write much! :D
