5/8: thinking and writing

...about Pride and Prejudice.  I've read the novel a good number of times over the years, but this is the first time I read it with the explicit intention of analyzing it and trying to see how it ticks.  I finished it last night and enjoyed writing about it this morning, processing my ideas and realizing that I have yet more to process.  I'm sure Austen scholars have already worked through the same issues and features I'm mulling over, but I like going through the paces.
