What theme does the novel "Pride and Prejudice" have?

  1. Pride and revenge

  2. Social class and family

  3. Love and destiny

  4. Overcoming obstacles

The correct answer is: Social class and family

The theme of the novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen is social class and family. While the other options may seem like possible themes, they are not the main focus of the story. A) Pride and revenge may be seen in certain characters, but it is not the main theme of the novel. C) Love and destiny can be argued as a secondary theme, but it is not as prominent as social class and family. D) Overcoming obstacles is a common theme in various novels, but it is not the central theme of "Pride and Prejudice". By focusing on social class and family, Austen sheds light on the societal norms and expectations of her time period, making it the most significant theme of the story.
