Through its exploration of themes such as class, gender, love, and individuality, “Pride and Prejudice” transcends its historical context to resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds. Austen’s skilful character
development, sharp wit, and insightful social satire make “Pride and Prejudice” a timeless masterpiece that remains as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1813.
