Hey guys 🥰,
Here are my views and thoughts on the theme of finding one's self/ self-knowledge in Jane Austen's 19th century novel 'Pride and Prejudice'. I am writing about this purely because I love this book and felt the need to explore this theme within it. All of what I have written is said by me, otherwise if it's not I shall quote who has e.g. any critics. I haven't done a tonne of research for what I have written, this is just me whipping out my tablet and writing because I feel like it. I have not studied this text like I would at A-level, I just read and really enjoyed it. Feel free to comment, vote and follow to help a gal out 🤗 I may come back to edit/ add more when I feel like it once it's already been published. If there are any spelling mistakes, I do apologise, I'm not the best at noticing them x
Also (if you're interested) please check out my story I have been writing on wattpad this year! Gracias 💕
Anyways, thank you for reading my thoughts and views🙃 xx

I think you're going to love our upcoming fall collection! 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐭 I guess I'm checking out your fall collection this weekend! [liked by @paradis_nyc ] --- IN WHICH - Margot really lets Taylor be bejeweled. OR Margot Paradis is the editor-in-chief of Paradis Magazine and owns a fashion brand with her brother Sebastian, Paradis Design. Her life is what Miranda Priestly's life was probably like in The Devil Wears Prada. When she crosses paths with 12-time-GRAMMY-awards winner Taylor Swift, the media falls into a frenzy over the pair's public relationship. How will Margot react to being shoved into the limelight with Taylor? How will the media take it? --- This story is entirely my work of fiction.

Read on to find out... *𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐎 𝐄𝐑𝐀* 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞 - Seeing that this is my first ever book published on a social platform of any sort, the starting few chapters tends to have grammatical errors, as my wattpad had glitched the time I had posted it and I'm too lazy to rewrite it. But I assure you the writing gets better and the chapters gets lengthy as you proceed. The story mainly focuses on the main character's development and journey throughout, but Remus is the endgame Or is he? 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫 - I do not own any other character except Aaliyah and few other OC's, other all belong to JK Rowling. Cover and graphics by me Book 1 [part A] Variant #001

I am so embarrassed, I couldn't believe how bad and how many typos there were in my original. This is me re-writing it and making it better, hopefully. Thank you for all the support on the original though ☺️ ~~ Pansy and Hermione, two very opposite people. Having been dating all this time? Read this fanfic to find out their story!Complete
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Hello everyone! So this is by no means my book. I'm just posting it for myself and those that might need it for classes or just entertainment. All credit goes to Jane Austen. I don't know why but it's always easier to read on Wattpad rather than the actual book. Hahahaha I hope this becomes of some use to you :)Complete![delicate [1] | TAYLOR SWIFT](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/288490395-256-k436882.jpg)

Pride and Prejudice
"Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and eventually comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. A classic piece filled with comedy, its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the Regency era in Great Britain. Mr Bennet of Longbourn estate has five daughters, but because his property is entailed it can only be passed from male heir to male heir. Consequently, Mr Bennet's family will be destitute upon his death. Because his wife also lacks an inheritance, it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well to support the others upon his death, which is a motivation that drives the plot. Jane Austen's opening line--"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"-is a sentence filled with irony and sets the tone for the book. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for economic gain or social prestige, despite the communal pressure to make a good (i.e., wealthy) match." -Wikipedia More readable version of "Pride and Prejudice" from the Gutenberg library.Complete
Crushed Underneath the Surface
For years, I've been writing in silence, creating worlds, characters, and stories that lived only in the margins of my notebooks and tucked-away folders on my computer. Writing has always been my escape, something I've done for myself-a way to step out of reality for a moment and breathe through the lives of the people I've imagined. I've written and rewritten countless stories, always hesitant to share them, never quite confident enough to let anyone else peek into the depths of my mind. It's always felt like just a hobby, something personal, something safe. But deep down, I've carried a quiet dream of becoming a writer, even though it felt a little foolish to hope for something so big. Now, after pouring myself into this story for what feels like a lifetime, I've finally done it-I've uploaded all my chapters to Wattpad, sharing this piece of me with the world. I know I still have so much to learn, and I'm always striving to get better, but I would truly appreciate any feedback-good, constructive criticism that can help me grow. This is just the beginning, but it feels like a huge step forward. Thank you for taking a chance on this book. Whatever brought you here, whether it was curiosity, a recommendation, or just a moment of wandering, I am truly grateful.Complete
