Her feelings were very acute, and too little understood to be properly attended to. Nobody meant to be unkind, but nobody put themselves out of their way to secure her comfort.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
HE WAS PROUD AND SHE PREJUDICED HIM!!
Pride and prejudice is a classic novel written by Jane Austen and published in 1813. It explores themes of love, social class, and morality through the complex relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
This book beautifully encapsulates the novel's exploration of love and admiration, highlighting that a lasting connection goes beyond mere attraction. Loving someone is essential in a relationship, but it is the mutual admiration and the capacity of learning from one another that makes it last.
Beyond the love story, the book features compelling plot twists that add depth and intrigue to the narrative. This Jane Austen book goes beyond the romantic theme. It's not just their loves story what's going on here. There's so much more!
It is a classic, but what a classic, it has aged like a fine wine! Jane austen really said "the kind of man every girl wants is the one who accepts their mistakes and is capable of leaving the pride behind", and it is something that is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century.
Jane Austen, thank you for this masterpiece!

I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.
She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was an union that must have been to the advantage of both: by her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved; and from his judgement, information, and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance
Now be sincere; did you admire me for my impertinence?"
"For the liveliness of your mind, I did.

Wretchedly did he feel, that with all the cost and care of an anxious and expensive education, he had brought up his daughters without their understanding their first duties, or his being acquainted with their character and temper.
