Is Pride and Prejudice a traditional or post-modern story?

Answer 1

Pride and Prejudice is about 80 or 100 years to early to be postmodern. But I don't think it is exactly traditional either, because it is about pretty ordinary people in pretty ordinary circumstances, except that they were of a privileged class. Other books of the era were about people who were unusual because of strange or wonderful happenstances, or because of unusual psychology.

Answer 2

"Pride and Prejudice" is considered a traditional story as it adheres to the characteristics of 19th-century romantic literature, focusing on themes of love, class, and social norms within a structured narrative. It lacks the experimental narrative techniques and fragmentation typically associated with post-modern literature.
