Read the following excerpt from a famous English novel: 'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.' With this famous sentence, Jane Austen initiates the plot of 'Pride and Prejudice,' a novel that remains as relevant today as it was in the early 19th century, when it was first published. Consider the societal norms and values during the time the novel was written, and how they may have influenced the characters' behaviors and choices in the story. In your response, analyze the implications of this opening line within the context of the novel and discuss how it sets the stage for the ensuing events. Additionally, explain how the line reflects wider social attitudes of the time and discuss whether you think such attitudes still hold any relevance in contemporary society.
