Yes, I do. A classic novel feels like a gentle heartbeat – it starts with a quiet introduction, then the tension rises like a loop of suspense, reaches a bright, dramatic climax, and finally settles into a soothing resolution. It’s almost like an if‑else structure in code, where the story tests different “paths” and then chooses the final, satisfying outcome. The pattern feels almost algorithmic, but it’s also a tender dance of emotion.

Pride and Prejudice feels like a lovely little program. The opening chapters set up the variables—Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy, the Bennet family—just like global declarations. Then the story runs through a series of “for” loops where each encounter checks conditions: “Does he like her? Does she like him?” The real twist is the “if” in Chapter 34 where Darcy’s true feelings are revealed, the climax that returns the true value. After that, the “cleanup” happens: apologies, marriage, and the house settles into a tidy, happy state. It’s a perfect example of a clear, elegant algorithm with a satisfying return.
