Outline For Pride And Prejudice

During life, birth, and death, a family is one of the few natures of life that are present throughout. Often times, the value of family is taken for granted, and people tend to disregard the importance it carries. Due to the power present in the nature of a man, often times it is challenging for women to establish a firm independence, in distinction of the common norms inaugurated in society and in family. In both A Thousand Splendid Suns and Pride and Prejudice, men are the dominant figures in all households, as they have control over their financial status, who their children marry, where they live, and create means in which the females of the family must follow. The inferiority that women face leads to an inquiry of an immense pride

The central theme of Pride and Prejudice is one of class. In a world where the lines of class are strictly drawn, the dignity

When I read Pride and Prejudice, I saw many different themes, so it was hard for me to choose just one to focus on. I could have written this on the importance of family, marriages, or wealth, but I chose to focus on the effects that rumors and social classes have on our society. In my opinion, this is a huge part of the story and is still part of life for anyone and everyone. Starting at a young age we are put into groups by looks, athleticism and smarts. These groupings and stereotypes are everywhere. This book made me realize the effects that rumors and social classes have on our society.

With sweaty palms, a fluttering heart, and butterflies in his stomach, a man drops down on one knee, simultaneously pulling a velvet box out of his back pocket. With shaky hands, he opens the box, looks into the expectant eyes of his girlfriend, and asks the one question that could change his life: “Will you marry me?” Marriage proposals are an important milestone in modern relationships, but in the Victorian Era, asking for a woman’s hand in marriage had a completely different connotation. The concept of courtship and marriage was considered more of a business agreement and an obligation for young men and women, and romance was not usually present at the beginning of a marriage. In Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, William Collins writes

Refer back to Martin Luther King Jr. “I have a dream” speech he hoped that “one day his four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” In the novel “To kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee addressed the main idea that people should eliminate prejudice and racism and learn how to accept others. Furthermore, the novel says that people should judge

Roy links yellow to disgust, which creates a sense of foreboding in the reader’s mine when Estha first meets the Orangedrinklemondrink man who later molests him. Objects meant to disgust the reader are associated early on with the color in yellow in phrases like, “[Baby Kochamma] was wearing a limp checked seersucker nightgown with puffed sleeves and yellow turmeric stains.” and, “A yellow brook burbles through a mountain pass”. Later, when Estha meets the Orangedrinklemondrink for the first time, the scene is bathed in yellow, which mirrors Estha’s disgust. His teeth are, “ like yellow piano keys”, and the man’s name is usually forgone is favor of referring to him by his teeth. Even before Etha is molested, the author uses a tone of foreboding by introducing the color yellow.

In Pride and Prejudice, the prejudices which are formed about people based on limited or inaccurate information and on first impressions lead to misunderstandings and uncomfortable choice. Some would argue that such prejudices are not as much of a problem in today’s society. This essay will prove that prejudices are still a problem in today’s society. As we all know the book takes place in the early 19th century. During that time period people were really status oriented.

In some novels, women either have a trivial role or contribute to the overall meaning of the work. In some fashion, women have an obvious or underlying hand in the grand scheme of the storyline. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is centered around the character of Elizabeth Bennet. Elizabeth’s character in itself is the embodiment of independence and non-conformity. In every aspect and trait of Elizabeth’s being, she constantly goes against the grain of what society perceives to be proper and correct. Through the use of Elizabeth’s appearance, adherence to social status, and concept of marriage, Jane Austen paints a character that has enough strong-will to challenge the strict social rules.

The character flaws of Darcy and Elizabeth in the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen come to a pinnacle when Darcy proposes to Elizabeth. Darcy, permeated with offensive words, explains Elizabeth’s inferiority and lack of social connections. Elizabeth’s prejudices become apparent in her response to his insulting proposal when she pridefully reviles Darcy’s dealings concerning Wickham and Bingley. Both Elizabeth and Darcy display prejudice behavior based on their first impressions at their first introduction. Pride in their own discernments prevents them from seeing different motives behind certain actions.

My reading began with Darcy hearing really bad stuff about what her sister's friends were saying. The boy was saying how dumb Jamee (Darcy’s younger sister) was because she would just be stealing stuff for them in the stores. Jamee actually thought that her friend loved her. It was mostly about how Darcy went home from school and saw that Jamee was in her friend’s car. Darcy was really mad because she was worried that Jamee would be hanging out with those guys, which are also a lot older than her. My reading ended with Jamee getting off the car and got inside house Darcy got really mad and told her what she heard from the boys. She also told her how upset she was because she’s hanging out with older boys that do bad stuff.

Darcy. When Elizabeth and Darcy first meet, they are quick to make judgements about each, not only that but they are harsh judgements. (Butler, 234). Darcy, upon meeting the Bennets, tells Mr. Bingley that Elizabeth is “tolerable” (Austen, 7). Elizabeth overhears this which causes her to make her own impressions of Mr. Darcy himself. Once these impressions are made, they continue to act on them throughout the book. Elizabeth soon realizes that she is quick to judge when she talks to Jane about Darcy (Butler, 234). She tells her sister, “...I meant to be uncommonly clever in taking so decided a dislike to him, without any reason” (Austen,

"You never really understand the person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" (38). People are often judge for bias and I just reasons. As a result of judgments, people can be made to feel like outcast. People fear change, individuals, and circumstances they don't understand. Instead of trying to understand differences they leave them out. In Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mockingbird, the people of Maycomb ostracize good people. Prejudice affects boo, Mrs. Dubose, and Miss Caroline because nobody considered their outlook from their point of view.
