"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
This line practically outlines the rest of the novel from the start. It deals with the common obsession of the time with getting married advantageously. It also hints at how characters in the novel will be pursuing men of good fortune like this. Its the perfect, simplistic and yet symbolic set up to the story.
As for my favorite conclusion, I don't think many movies did it better than Inception. While some people hate the ambiguity of this ending, I think its amazing. Everything seems happy. The main character seems to wake up, go home, and see his family. Then, he spins a top. If the top falls, it means he's awake. If not, its a dream. The camera hovers on this top for a few seconds. Just when you think it might be about to fall, the screen goes black, leaving you wondering. This final shot is as mind-blowing as it is frustrating.
I guess we'll never know.
