Answer:

The theme of marriage is prevailing in the novel "Pride and Prejudice;" a novel by Jane Austen.

Explanation:

From the very beginning of the novel this theme was depicted to the reader,

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife..."

Though the topic of marriage is serious one, but the author had in an ironical manner portrayed the views of marriage that society have towards it. It is considered a business deal between the two families rather than love being the factor for the marriage.

As other parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are also concerned about the marriage of their five daughters. (Though it is only Mrs. Bennet who makes much of the effort for the same, Mr.s Bennet just sits down in his library.)

The lines in which we get the glimpse of ironical false claim of Mrs. Bennet going to length to achieve the goal of successful marriage of their daughters is found in the last Chapter of the book (61) and first few lines, quoted below,

<em>"HAPPY for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Mrs. Bennet got rid of her two most deserving daughters. With what delighted pride she afterwards visited Mrs. Bingley, and talked of Mrs. Darcy, may be guessed. I wish I could say, for the sake of her family, </em><em>that the accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment </em><em>of so many of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible, amiable, well-informed woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it was lucky for her husband, who might not have relished domestic felicity in so unusual a form, that she still was occasionally nervous and invariably silly."</em>
