Pride And Prejudice Act 1 Scene 1

Compare and contrast how Shakespeare and Austen present the power of love in Othello and Pride and Prejudice. In order for love to be true it must come from both sides equally.

Moreover, he portrays societal expectations and the father’s prejudices as the main culprits for the ill understanding between the father and the son. How can a father’s personal prejudice overpower his love for his child? Is it the father’s greed for respect and societal grandeur that causes a clash between him and his son?

1. Compare two characters—one from each work—who are similar in temperament or who seem to be in analogous situations. Discuss characterizations/archetypes, and focus on their impact toward the novels’ overall meanings. When reading the two novels, it was made clear that both Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice) and Laila (A Thousand Splendid Suns) have similar personalities.
