In the real world, however, most of the time there is no “happily ever after” especially when it comes to the relationships between men and women. Even though reality has proven time and time again that most relationships simply do not stay peaceful, many fiction writers still focus their novels on the relationship between a man and a women, and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice also falls under this category. Even so, the way Jane Austen presents this issue is very unique.
