Abstract

Under the title First Impressions, Jane Austen submitted the book for publication in 1796 and 1797. With new title Pride and Prejudice was released in 1813. Despite being single, Jane Austen defined love, arranged and eloped marriages. She writes about sociological, realistic, and broadly appealing issues and is regarded as a sentimentalist as opposed to a romantic. Pride and Prejudice was considered a feminist book during the British Regency era, but its relevance today might be identified as a work of gender sensitization. In the book, males handle women's sentiments and emotions with the utmost care and concern rather than oppressing or suppressing them. Austen emphasizes the value of men and women having faith, love, and understanding for one another before entering the institution of marriage, In the light of contemporary viewpoints on gender sensitization, the present paper attempts to critically examine both feminist and masculine attitudes of the two genders.
