Analysis Of Jane Austen 's ' Pride And Prejudice '

Mrs. Bennet is excited about his arrival, as it is clear he is passing on marital business, causing great interest among the sisters and above all Mrs. Bennet. At the Netherfield ball he makes a complete show of himself as he lacks decorum and etiquette. His inability to dance is a cause of amusement to the characters and the reader. "The first two dances, however, brought a return of distress; solemn, apologising instead of intending."

Mrs.Bennet heard news of a single, wealthy man, Mr.Bingley, moving into a estate just three miles away from them and begged that her husband would go call on him, which he refused but secretly did anyway, to his wife 's pleasure. There was a ball where they were to attend, and Mr.Bingley would be attending too, along with his two sisters, one of his sisters husband, and his friend, Mr.Darcy. Mr.Darcy was immediately named handsome, but proud and didn’t care to dance with anyone. Mr.Bingley, on the other hand, danced and was joyful. Everyone noticed that Mr.Bingley danced two whole dances with Jane Bennet, and talked among themselves that there should be a wedding coming up soon. After the dance, Jane was invited by Mr.Bingley 's sister for tea in Netherfield. She had gone horseback, just as a storm was brewing, which caused her to get a cold and a fever, leading to her staying there for a week.

In novels, there is often one character that represents a beacon of hope for everyone around them. In the midst of war, death, and suffering, this character is capable of making the others smile and laugh. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Bennet acts as this type of light source. She stays positive in almost every situation. She looks for the best in every individual and is rarely negative, even when those around her are. Throughout the novel, Jane Austen exposes the reader to Jane’s bubbly and positive personality and allows the reader to form an accurate opinion on Jane. Austen creates Jane’s optimistic, trusting and generous personality through the positive things others say about her, her own cheerful lines, and Jane’s actions towards everyone she encounters.

After reading the first 50 pages of Pride and Pride as well as Foster's How to Read Novels Like a Professor, I expect for the book to continue having long and complex sentences that focus on the moral of a wealthy family having their daughters married to wealthy men while maintaining a mature and manner-like behavior. Austen uses a serious tone that portrays the values during the 19th century while still mocking the measure in which people took. Although there isn't a first person narrator, the protagonist and her family possesses a superior attitude filled with pride making me believe they'll be that way for the story. They have the role that is the importance of appearances and behavior towards other nobles. When the Bennets were on their way to introduce themselves to Mr.Bingley Elizabeth was stressing over how she was going to present themselves. Although her

Benjamin Disraeliance once said, "Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed". This quote exemplifies that viewpoints can always have a sudden shift at any point of time, but a person 's moral quality must be established over time. Moral qualities do not change just on their own. This change of moral qualities may be shown by a person who dislikes someone, then realizes the truth and learns to love that someone.

Throughout Jane Austen 's novel, Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth grows from a character who is very independent and opinionated into someone who opens her eyes towards a person 's change, which portrays her growth throughout the story.

Jane Austen shows the readers within the first sentence what the plot and main theme of Pride and Prejudice is and what social ideas she plans on presenting through this novel. The first sentence of Pride and Prejudice stands as one of the most famous introductory lines in literature. It states, “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” (Austen 5). This statement puts the novel in motion by showing that the novel will deal with the pursuit of single wealthy men by various female characters. By stating this, Austen reveals that the reverse is also true in the nineteenth century English society, which is that single women of

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife"-this is quote that set sails the novel, Pride and Prejudice, written by Jane Austen.

Set in 19th century England, in the village of Longbourn, The plot centres on the five daughters of the Bennet family and their attempts to obtain suitable marriages in order to gain stability. The story follows Elizabeth Bennet, the honest, virtuous and witty protagonist. She is the second oldest child from a middle class family, who does not conform to the bounds of her social class. Enter Fitzwilliam Darcy: wealthy, handsome and an intelligent individual who appears to be proud and arrogant which immediately causes a misunderstanding of character between the two. From their brief first encounter, they both were quick to form ignorant judgement of

In other words, when people are angry they don’t always do the smartest things. When a person is angry there are many things going through their minds and don’t know how to respond to the current situation. In addition, people who are angry will do whatever comes to mind first without thinking if it’s right or wrong. For example, Miss Bingley got very angry when her attempts in catching Mr.Darcy’s affection failed because he has feelings for Elizabeth Bennet and not her. Instead of being mature about the situation Miss Bingley started to say disrespectful comments to Elizabeth Bennet in front of Mr.Darcy. Disrespecting others wasn’t a smart thing to do, but Miss Bingley wasn’t thinking that because her brain was focused on attacking others

However, Mrs Bennet's insensitivity and pride in her daughters and towards her neighbours is seen as embarrassing, which creates problems in the lives of her daughters, especially the eldest, Jane, who is deceived by Mr Bingley's two haughty sisters. They see her as much beneath their brother and unsuitable for him, and later on in the novel try to separate them by drawing Mr Bingley away from Netherfield to London for the winter, and uniting efforts to increase the friendship between Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy's sister, Georgiana, who has inherited a fortune. And so we are lead, by the authoress, to believe that the possession of wealth by both gentlemen and women in these times was important especially for marriage, yet there are many setbacks. Towards the middle of the novel, we become aware of the fact that wealth also sets barriers on marriage.
