Good morning!  I love Pride and Prejudice.  I love the characters in the book.
The story revolves around social inferiority in regards to rank and fortune.  A wealthy gentleman seems interested in Jane who is not from a wealthy family.
Yes, that is the basic plot line.  Jane Austen brings up wealth and social class in most of her books.
Jane Austin also wrote about love match marriages during a time when marriages were more of a business contract.  Women had to rely on their husbands work and often made matches based on economic class.  Have you read Mansfield Park also?
Yes, this is true. I haven't read that book, but I did watch the movie.
Jane Austen certainly had a recurring theme of women attempting to attract wealthy suiters as seem by Miss Ward and Sir Thomas Bertram in Mansfied Park.  It seems that their children Maria and Julia become spoiled and Tom a gambler.  Edmund seems a kind man though.
Yes, that specific story is a difficult one.  So many tragedies and hardships.
It is interesting that Jane Austen wrote about love and marriage and never actually married.
Yes!  I read some of her mystery books.  She placed herself in the main roles and did have relationships with men but also never married in the book either.
She did become engaged for one night and then changed her mind.  It probably helped her writing since she had so much time to focus on her books instead of a husband and children.
Yes, that is very true.
There were some theories concerning her unmarried status.  One was that she was a lesbian and another that she had a incestuous relationship with her sister.  But neither of these were proven.
Huh, that's interesting.  I don't know a lot about her personal life.  I am sure there were plenty of rumors.
