An Uncommon Tale

        "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." This is perhaps the most famous of all quotes from Jane Austen's well known novel, Pride and Prejudice. Being the first sentence of the novel, it immediately sets the tone for the humor displayed throughout the book. The most obvious reason why I have chose to write about Pride and Prejudice is that it is one of my all time favorite books. In fact, I've read it close to 10 times and still the story has never gotten old to me. Further reasons for exploring Pride and Prejudice are the unique style of Austen's writing and the deep concepts she exposes in a humorous, endearing way. The book is permeated with humor and satire in a wonderfully natural way making it a delight to read for anyone from the casual reader to the meticulous analyst.
