Pride and Prejudice Initial Thoughts II

After reading only a few pages of Pride and Prejudice, I already have a lot of thoughts on it. Obviously, it takes place in the past. This is a disadvantage to me because I'm not as farmiliar with the time period. The difference between then and now that I first noticed is the dialect that they speak with. The author, Jane Austen, uses a lot of words that aren't in most people's vocabulary, so it can make the story confusing. I've found that I have to re-read a lot to understand what's going on. But once I did comprehend the plot, I like it. It's already interesting, and I've only read one chapter.
