Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice conveys many meanings to the reader. It shows us that true love can go though anything. In this book Jane and Mr. Bingley's love stands the ultimate test when they are separated by their family and friends. Even though they do not pursue each other and Bingley does not fight for her, when they are reunited their love is still as strong as ever. The love of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth also stands through much. It stands through both of their pride and their prejudices. Their love is a strong everlasting love showing us that love can blossom form even the most unlikely circumstances. Elizabeth has a very strong dislike for Mr. Darcy and Mr. Darcy has treated Elizabeth with the utmost disrespect. Yet through all of this Mr. Darcy is drawn to Elizabeth and Elizabeth is eventually overcome by her love for Darcy. This pair may be seen as opposites attract but really they are very similar. They are full of pride and are both stubborn. Through all of their conflicts they have a love and a passion that every reader envies and longs for. The love of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet is a love that is over looked. Their love may not be as clear as Elizabeth's or Jane's but their love is just as pure. Through out the book you see how they are meant for each other but if put apart you would never put them together. Mr. Bennet is ale to stand Mrs. Bennet rants and even joke about them. He may tease her so but what ever she says he take to heart. Overall Jane Austen communicates not only the idea of strong everlasting love but also the idea of unexpected love.
