Abstract
The objective of this study of class consciousness in Austen's Pride and Prejudice is to analyze the class division and hierarchy prevalent of that time. Class exposes the division of men in the society in account of wealth they possess. A wealthy man is supposed to be an appropriate candidate for marriage and a man of low economic status is not cared though he can be more intelligent and human in behaviour. So, the study of class is mainly to indicate the capitalist ideology of the society. The study of the novel through class is to examine the contemporary society and its division in account of money.
