Pride & Prejudice is in the public domain; however, giving credit where credit is due, it is the work of the absolutely brilliant Jane Austen. Anything you recognize is hers, the rest is mine. I'm just taking the opportunity to shake things up a bit. Or rather take the good fortune and coincidence scattered throughout the work and cranking it up a notch or three. Chapter 1

Then, in unison, every device came alive again. One word glowed across every surface, painted in molten gold letters that seemed to pulse with life: PRIDE. Alessandro stared at it, disbelief shadowing his face. “What does it mean?” Elena’s chest rose and fell, her eyes brimming with tears. Matteo’s voice slid through her veins like liquid light. It’s what they stole from me. And now, I’ll take it back.

– Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen) From observation, I think it's time to experiment and prove this thesis statement of mine. Today's the weekend. Papa wanted me to go see the market every weekend starting now. He opened the door for me, like what he always does. That same weird tingling sensation began to occur, like always. Even in his simple attire – white shirt, dark blue jeans and black boots, he looked dashing. It would be no surprise if many women fall for him. But the only thing 'undashing' about him now is the hard expression on his face. Is he not happy to see me?

"But yet you're giving all sorts of praises to Pride and Prejudice?" "Mr. Darcy was smitten by Elizabeth the very first time he led eyes on her. But then his ego and pride made him a complete jerk to her. While Elizabeth on the other hand was driven by prejudice and never once sort to see what he did and why he did it.

A strange feeling swelled up inside of me at the way he called me his girlfriend. He only ever said it once and I didn't mind him saying it over and over again.

They tend to be snappy and stiff even if there is someone beautiful but does not have intelligence like Camilla. If the two families were to unite, wouldn't their prestige rise?

Conner's POV Since Avery nearly died, I have seen her in a different light. Her body might be frail, but her spirit was far from that. She keeps pushing forward no matter what has been done to her. She more than deserves the surprise in her locker that my brothers and I arranged. As I think back to how I have mistreated her, I recall a quote from Pride and Prejudice, “I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit,” Mr. Darcy said in that book. I am just as guilty as he is, and so are my brothers. We let our titles and pride keep us from knowing the real Avery. We judged her by her appearance, not her character. Maybe it is too late for a truly fresh start, because

How would Charles feel, when he sees her in company of those drinking and smoking class of vulgar modern women, those party ladies whose native characters and innocence were corrupt? She further said that if she married Charles, and becomes his wife, she would be under her husband’s stride and she would not loiter about inconsequentially with modern women. Vivian noticed that if one entered the University and sees some of the girls’ general attire; one might like to emulate such. The modern women seen on the television screen these days who normally dress in a certain vogue, all of the women in the country would fashion after them. These women do thousands of gullible things a day but get aw

"Modern. Independent. She has very strong opinions about certain things." Like not sending photos to men who were trying to blackmail her into fake marriages, apparently. Like maintaining her privacy even when it would make my life exponentially easier. "Modern," Grandfather repeated slowly, his tone suggesting he wasn't entirely sure what I meant by that. He made it sound like I'd said "alien" or "incomprehensible."

She slapped my arm. Laughing, I dodged her attacks and scooted closer to the bus window. “Enlighten me about this great Pride and Prejudice favorite of yours then.” “Don’t you underestimate my preference. It’s a Jane Austen Classic.” She boasted proudly. “Yeah? And then?” She sighed while my grin grew wider. I found it amusing that she’s getting all so fed up by defending her favorite novel.
