After reading Pride and Prejudice, I can understand why they wrote a parody where the setting was replaced in a high school environment. The plot of this book revolves around the drama caused by the love interests between wealthy women and men during the late 1700s. I felt as if I were reading a very old diary of a teenage girl who felt the need to write down all the lovey-dovey gossip that happened to her friends. It's not that I did not find it entertaining, it's just that I didn't feel like I learned anything from it. Usually stories have a message or moral behind it, but this was a collection of love stories and how they worked out at the end after each person settles with what they got.
With all that said however, I think the character who stood out the most was Elizabeth, she seemed to have been the only smart one in all this mess that they've created themselves. She had every right to think Darcy was a schmuck for not wanting to dance and hearing bad rumors about him. She was the one who cared about her sister's health while Jane's Mr. Bingley was elsewhere. Elizabeth didn't care what anyone had to say about her relationship business because it didn't involve amyone else besides her and Darcy. Once she understood that Darcy wasn't that much of am idiot, she decides to marry him. A smart and patient woman who has her priorities straight.
Overall, this was an amusing tale that would keep the viewer hooked simply because it had to do with love, there's just something about love that keeps us interested in these characters' actions. I guess there just wasn't anything better to do back then than read books about other people's love lives!
