First, or Second, Impressions

Tomorrow in book club we're doing Jane Austen's most popular novel. A fellow club member reviews it here, seeing it as a comedy of manners.

I read it more as a romance.

What did the divine Miss Austen really think about those 2 alliterative attitudes she put in the title? I have my own ideas, of course.

Dreadful wretchedness
Comes from Prejudice,
But the joy of Pride
Abides.
