One of the most famous is Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Darcy’s and Elizabeth’s relationship is by far the best one in her story. Seeing the two characters grow from the mutual dislike they had for one another to the point where they fall in love and get married is an incomparable and wonderful thing.
