Status Updates From Pride and Prejudice by Jane...

I get the feeling I've been lied to. Pride and Prejudice is many things but it's not what I was led to believe. I'm almost done now as I start chapter 58 and see the remaining pages barely be a few dozens. It won't be too long when I sit to read again.

I was told Pride and Prejudice is a romcom. So far, I see no "rom" and definitely no "com", especially when it comes to the main character Elizabeth.

Instead, by the events transpired, I feel overwhelmingly concerned for her. Without her permit, she is dealt cards by life she feels burdened by. Furthering her folly are her prejudice - born of pride and sisterly love. I could excuse her, but that'd be unfair to rest.

I don't know if this is the things getting even worse or if the consequences unfolding. Perhaps both. Charlotte Lucas surprised me. I hope she ends up satisfied with her lot by the end of the story.

Chapter 19. It feels like things are constantly getting bad in terms of perception of each other. All of this is going to bite back, I am confident. May each and every one (except Mr Bingley) get a rude awakening of how I'll-behaved they are.

Unfortunately, this includes even Mary. She's been mostly quiet and self involved so I didn't feel much either way. What a poor impression she created.

Done with first 9 chapters.
If anyone knows of a source for enjoying Pride and Prejudice without spoilers, do tell.

For now, despite getting spoilers even though I asked for none, I manage with Gemini.

I have made it past chapter 8, where I last quit. I'm happy about this. I'm finally making progress.

Also, Mrs Bennet gave me secondhand embarrassment. Especially considering how the sisters talk about their family.

Physical book is surprisingly easier to enjoy. Hopeful!

Mamma Mia,
Here we go again!
Oh my my,
How could I resist you?
