Jane Austen submitted the novel for publication between 1796 and 1797 with the title First Impressions. Later it was changed to Pride and Prejudice and published in 1813. Though unmarried, Austen gave the definition of marriage in Pride and Prejudice. She exemplifies arranged marriage, love marriage and eloped marriage but not a broken marriage. She is considered a sentimentalist rather than a romanticist as her themes are, sociological, realistic and universal in appeal. Though Pride and Prejudice was branded as a feminist novel in British Regency period, its contemporary relevance can be marked as a novel of gender sensitization. Women in the novel are not oppressed or suppressed instead their feelings and emotions are dealt with utmost care and concern by men. Austen signifies the importance of faith, love and understanding between men and women before they enter the institution of marriage. The present paper tries to critically approach both feminist and masculine perspectives juxtaposing the two genders in modern perspectives of gender sensitization.
