Orgueil et préjugés est le plus connu des six romans achevés de Jane Austen. Son histoire, sa question, est en apparence celle d'un mariage : l'héroïne, la vive et ironique Elizabeth Bennett qui n'est pas riche, aimera-t-elle le héros, le riche et orgueilleux Darcy ? Si oui, en sera-t-elle aimée ? Si oui, encore, l'épousera-t-elle ? Mais il apparaît clairement qu'il n'y a en fait qu'un héros qui est l'héroïne, et que c'est par elle, en elle et pour elle que tout se passe.
