A Critical Literary Study Of Marriage, Class, And Social Criticism In Jane Austen's “Pride And Prejudice”

This article represents a single-case qualitative literary analysis, presented in the IMRaD format. This paper investigates, through close reading and reflective interpretation, the narrative patterns, character interactions, and moral development that are richly reflected in a nineteenth-century English novel. The focus has fallen on interpersonal relations, behavioral standards, and changes that take place within the main and secondary characters. It therefore points to the fact that personal values, emotional maturation, and social expectations act as firmly interlinked components to affect human choice and life consequences. The article has retained the original review text within the results section to preserve interpretative integrity, albeit situated within an appropriate academic framework for humanities research.
