A Thousand Splendid Suns And Pride And Prejudice Analysis

Judging by reality and fiction, there is not a single person to exist that has been purely evil or purely good. Yet it is in human nature to judge others as good or evil. Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice was quick to judge Fitzwilliam Darcy, the second central character of the novel, harshly based on her false assumptions of the arrogance of the wealthy. His initial egocentrism, due to his belief in a structured social hierarchy, caused her to form a prejudiced opinion of him. Throughout Pride and Prejudice, Fitzwilliam Darcy is shown to exhibit both good and evil qualities, although not always apparent to the narrator, Elizabeth. Jane Austen’s portrayal of Mr. Darcy as a morally ambiguous character uncovers the significance of class in English society during the late seventeenth century.

Pride assures Elizabeth that her first impressions of Darcy are indisputable. Thus, while only Darcy seems to act as the embodiment of pride, the other characters are not immune to it.

One assignment that I take a lot of pride in is my Pride and Prejudice essay. My assignment was quite remarkable because even though it was my first time using critical theory, I still ending up doing well on it. I specifically think my analysis with textual evidence and my explication of all the quotes was phenomenal and this assignment was the first time I fully mastered analysis with quotes. Quote analysis connects with possible skills I will use in my Biomedical or Biology major because many of the labs performed in science classes will require the same use of analytical skills to come up with conclusions. A vital part of a good essay is profound thinking that uses textual evidence to support its reasoning; the same skill will be necessary

First Impressions First impressions are very important. In the Victorian age, people based their whole opinion of someone on first impressions. Most times the first impression of someone is not the way they truly are. Sometimes a first impression can cause you to think negative of someone but later you find out that they are very nice and a very positive person. One example is when Mr. Darcy meets Elizabeth in the book ,Pride and Prejudice.

Pride as a less obvious fault, however, is explored in Elizabeth and Darcy; Elizabeth is justly proud of her own intelligence and discernment, but when she begins to hold too high an opinion of it, she comes close to missing the fact that Darcy is not the cold sort of low-charactered person she thought him to be. Likewise, Darcy's pride in his own social status almost leads him to dismiss Elizabeth entirely, and almost loses her for him through his treatment of Jane, anyway. These two would seem to argue for the love story approach, as they are half of the major impediment to our hero and heroine getting together; there is more to this than just love between one couple, however. It is a comment on the fact that an abundance of even deserved pride can blind people to possible human contacts, cut off all sorts of possibly beneficial relationships.

Lady Catherine’s reaction demonstrates the crucial importance of marriage in the society, but also for women.

Ms. Lucas gives Mr. Darcy a right to be proud, and excuses his manner early in the book when he insulted Elizabeth by not dancing with her although urged by others to do so.
