Chapter I Reflections (Thoughts)

In Chapter I, the first sentence in the book really did not seem like it was from the author's point of view, but from Mrs. Bennet's.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"

This is almost stereotypical of rich men. Mrs. Bennet acts like she knows that rich men want wives. I think that the sentences shows the reader what kind of as person Mrs. Bennet is.  The sentence shows that she jumps to conclusions. Not all rich men may want a wife.
