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

Unlike in Jane Austen's original novel Mr Wickham decides that he will attend the ball at Netherfield Park.

What Nobody Knew
"Elizabeth, we have more stores to get to, so if you please.'" Came Mr. Knight's impatient voice from the other side of the door. I still wasn't used to him calling me by my first name, but since he used it this morning, he hasn't gone back to the previous "Miss Bennet". I sighed before stepping out of the dressing room. "Sir, I'm not so sure about this one..." I trailed off, while giving a slight twirl so he could see the whole dress. When I looked up, Mr. Knight's eyes were roaming over every inch of my form. I could feel the heat rushing towards my face and a funny tingling feeling settling in my stomach. Why did he have to look at me like that? It was almost like he wanted to... No, this was Mr. Knight, he wouldn't be looking at me like that... and I was most definitely not excited at the mere thought of it. No, in fact, I was uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that I wished I had something to cover myself up with. But, it seemed that I forgot how to operate my legs and was now glued to the spot. Mr. Knight cleared his throat, looking away from me and avoiding eye contact al together. "Uhm, yes... I think you might be right. Let's try another one." He pulled out his phone and started scrolling through it. That was strange. Was Mr. Knight actually uncomfortable? ... This is a Pride and Prejudice retelling where Mr. Darcy is a rich CEO and Elizabeth his over-qualified PA. May contain some mature scenes.

The Royal Despise (Completed)
"You intoxicate me, you filled up every single one of my thoughts to an extend that I actually didn't want you to die" Soo this is me but like 3 years (??) later and I have to say I wrote this when I was like 12/13 so there's that andd if you know me irl, pretend you never saw or read this. Thanks and enjoy! This book mainly just revolves around Hermione and her need to save her kingdom, even though there will be dramione moments I can't promise it to be all about romance Monarchy still persists and kings and queens rule the lands. After the war between the kingdoms, each of the kingdom decided to sign a treaty and form a union. The royalty, including the princes and princesses, are...special. Magic runs in their veins, making them witches and wizards. But the people did not fear them, for they knew that both good and bad witches and wizards existed and their rulers were anything but evil....atleast some of time. Hogwarts:- school for royalty, that also taught the princes and princesses how to control and use their magic, was a boarding school that royalty attended from many places around the world. Including the golden trio. When the school year comes to an end and many of the prince's and princesses are weighed down by the pressure of ascending the throne, Draco and Hermione has their own little problem. What is this problem? That is for me to know and you to find out _ So this is my first time writing, and I apologise beforehand for any kind of mistakes I make. Also I constantly look back at my chapters and make a lot of improvements and edits to fill up plot holes here and there. Sorry if that bugs you. Warning:- the characters all belong to J.K Rowling The picture I used for the cover was edited by me,myself and I. (The account name given in the cover is my old name @meridasbravery, so please ignore that typo) _Complete
