I can't believe my English teacher is making me read pride and prejudice!
Why not! It's a classic. In fact, it's one of my favorite novels.
But it's so old.
Don't judge a book by its cover. Do you Kwon what it's about?
No, not at all.
First of all, it's a romance novel, set in the early 19th century.
I didn't realize it was a romance novel. What's the main storyline?
It's basically about a father who tried to marry off one of his five girls.
Why does he want to do that?
Since he doesn't have a son, he hopes that one of the girls will marry a wealthy man. That way, all of his daughters will be cared for.
Won't they get his inheritance?
No, that's the problem. Though they are well-off, once he dies, his house will go to his cousin. So, when he dies, the girls will have nothing.
I see. This sounds interesting! Maybe my teacher isn't so horrible after all.
So, are you going to read the novel or watch the movie?
There's movie? My teacher didn't tell me that!
That's probably because she wants you to read the book first.
It would take a lot less time. . .
How about this. When you finish the book. I'll get the movie and watch it with you.
