What is Love?

What IS Love? Well, it is a main theme in Pride and Prejudice, duh! But seriously, love has been, and always will be, a universal theme in society. Jane and Mr. Bingley are in love (only having known each other for a short time) and after having conviced himself that Elizbeth is ugly and far beneath him in social status, Darcy begins to captivated by Elizabeth's "bright eyes". Love seems to be in the air through the book up until this point. But, perhaps more prominately on Mrs. Bennet's mind, the subject of marriage more than love. She represents the view of most of society in this time period: being married is more important and practical than being in love. The reader can almost see the dollar signs in Mrs. Bennet's eyes whenever Jane and Bingley are around each other. Just as in the movie, Mrs. Bennet annoys me just as much, if not more, in the book.
