Pride, Prejudice, and New Clothes



I hope Austen's Pride and Prejudice has more to it than what meets the eye. For everyone's sake. I scavenge for interesting, hidden gems within the novel. The plot doesn't hint at anything interesting worth the reader's time. So, to remain calm, I must convince myself that either Austen has an intellectual reason for writing of such a shallow series of events, or that I am simply ignorant of what genius there may be in her words. Either way, I feel as if asked to make a carton of orange juice from a single bonsai fruit.
