1. Introduction
Jane Austen is the outstanding woman novelist of Britain in the 19th century. Sir Walter Scott thought highly of her ability to render "ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting". Macaulay and George Lewes regarded her as no less than a "prose Shakespeare". Jane Austen now ranks as a master of the English novel and contributes a lot to literary world.
Her most famous work-- Pride and Prejudice-- displays such shrewd wit, delicate satire, attracting humor and accomplished characterizations. Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top lists of “most loved books”.
In this paper we are going to appreciate humour and satire in Pride and Prejudice. Since there are many different definitions of humor and satire, in this paper, we tried to present relatively complete concepts of humour and satire, and discuss their relation. Also we appreciate many humorous and satirical examples in Pride and Prejudice, and the effect of both humor and satire in this novel.
