I finished Pride and Prejudice. FINALLY. My gosh. That was a really long book. The book was actually good. I know how some people might think that just because its historical or uses old english, its boring. But, it's really not. Some parts might be very detailed and you might consider it boring, but the main plot is definately VERY interesting. In the end, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy married which I was SOOO happy about. I think they deserved each other. Although Mr. Darcy, at first was a bit pompous and arrogant, he changed later on the in the book, and you got to see his soft side. I'm also a bit sad that Lydia ran off with Mr. Winston. But I'm glad that Jane and Mr. Bingley married, they were good for each other since the start of the book. It seems that only Elizabeth and Jane had a happy ending. The other 2 girls didn't get husbands. Well, I would recommend this book to somebody for sure.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I am almost done with the book. There are a few chapters left. Right now, Elizabeth is realizing that she loves Mr. Darcy. Her feelngs are in conflict and she feels confused about the situation. But, Mr. Darcy had loved Elizabeth for quiet a time and he even proposed to her but she had refused. I found a poem, that, I feel represents how Elizabeth really does feel at the moment but she doesn't realize it.
That I Did Always Love by Emily Dickinson
That I did always love,
I bring thee proof;
That till I loved
I did not love enough.
That I shall love alway,
I offer thee
That love is life,
And life hath immortality.
This, dost thou doubt, sweet?
Then have I
Nothing to show
But Calvery.
