Pride and Prejudice Initial Thoughts I

To me, Pride and Prejudice is very confusing. Being a classic, it was set in the past and the dialect is very old-fashioned. I also think the plot is very hard to follow.

It talks about the Bennet family; Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters. Mrs. Bennet notices a very handsome man named Mr. Bingley is planning on buying a property near their home. She is very interested in having her daughters visit him because she wants him to possibly marry one of them. I think that the plot was hard to understand because the author placed very common words, of the time, into the story.

I used context clues to help me figure out the plot, but I am at a disadvantage since I am not from the time when the book was written, so I have a different way of understanding the story.
