not what they are

I was thinking about Pride and Prejudice. That and Great Expectations were the first classic novels I read. I read them in high school. 

Novels are different to the way they are perceived. We have a certain impression of Pride and Prejudice, but the actual reading experience is different to that impression. It's not necessarily a love story, and Great Expectations isn't necessarily about someone having their illusions shattered.
