this sounds like a badly written novel. Over use of words in my opinion.

It means, Jane is going with what she wanted to do from the first time they met.

Do you have any more you need looked at?

So pride and prejudice was written in around 1819, so the English language has changed a lot from this time period. The use of words and how they were used are very different now.

entertain the preference means choose to do what she wants to

the sentence structure and wording is not used in any conversation of modern english. The book is required reading in many schools in high school. It is read as a period piece and is discussed in the class.

I would read the book if you like that time in history, period love stories, or that style of writing.

Why are you reading it.

It's a pretty complicated novel for that purpose. I would pick a different novel for learning English unless you enjoy the book.

Yes I have read lots of books from different time periods and styles.

People who like pride and prejudice also may like wuthering heights, sense and sensability, the great gadsby and Anna karienina. Not a big fan of them but lots of people like them

Are there any novel about a couple, who are suffering but not give up the hope, keeping encouraging and love to each other, like Michael and Sara in Prison Break?
