The Course of True Love Never Did Run Smooth in Pride and Prejudice

Just as she is consistently good and kind, her feelings and heed for Bingley never falter or innovate. She feels sorrow when he leaves, of course, but that does not abase her delight for him. Their relationship, while amusing, is not marked by the range of emotions that Elizabeth and Darcy handle for one another. Her wedlock, then, is kind that she and Bingley conjugate for tenderness and are compatible, but it is not quite ideal since it want the depth found in Elizabeth and Darcy's marriage.

The outlying troubles to Mr. Bingley’s relationship with Jane are foreshadowed by his attitude towards the beginning of the novel. “Miss Bingley was therefore established as a sweet girl, and their brother felt authorized by such commendation to think of her as he chose” (Pride and Prejudice, chapter 13) This shows how necessary Mr. Bingley feels it is to have other’s approval, which is what happens when you’re devoted to social class; This ultimately foreshadows how easily influenced Mr. Bingley is and this is shown when Mr. Darcy drives a block between the two lovers when he forces them apart.

At the beginning of the novel, though, instability and misunderstanding characterized the relationship between the two. After Jane catches an illness en route to the Bingley Estate in Netherfield, Elizabeth chooses to travel to the house and care for her sister; Darcy, who had been visiting the Bingley’s, is also present there. On one particular night, Miss Bingley, Mr. Bingley’s sister, asks Elizabeth to parade about the room with her, in an attempt to attract Darcy’s attention; subsequently, the two women discuss the possibility of finding an aspect of his character to ridicule. He states that his critical fault is his resentment, and that his “good opinion once lost is lost forever.” Elizabeth proceeds to mock him; she views his apparent assertion of self-awareness as examples of his conceited personality, and judges him for over-valuing his first impression. Unbeknownst to her, however, Darcy had really

However, Miss Bingley visits her and behaves very rudely, reassuring Jane that Miss Bingley never intended to be her friend in the first place, and that her friendship with Mr. Bingley is beginning to look very unfortunate.

Only true love will cause people to do whatever it takes to be together. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare that was set in Verona. Set upon a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families. The feud causes a disastrous outcome for the leading characters, Romeo and Juliet. Vengeance, love, and a secret marriage compel these teen star-crossed lovers to move quickly and fortune causes them to kill themselves in distress. Many people believe that young teens do crazy things and don’t understand what real love is. However, love can take place anytime and at any age, just how it did in this play. Romeo and Juliet are truly in love. As a whole, they both risked their lives and safety to be together. Also, they both made their lives come to a bitter end.

The families of Elizabeth and Charlotte play a very important part in their lives, and in the prospect of their future companions. Elizabeth’s family are more prone to exposing themselves and being ridiculous , and it is partly down to her family that Mr. Darcy is so adamant on Mr. Bingley not marrying her sister Jane. However, unlike her family, Elizabeth is socially graceful, sensitive and conscious of her appearance in the eyes of others. This leads to her acute awareness of the social failing of some members of her family, particularly her mother and youngest sister.

Repeatedly, the obstacles promoted by different social classes overrule love in Pride and Prejudice. Eventually, love proves it cannot be hidden in ones heart as Elizabeth accepts her love for Darcy. Throughout Pride and Prejudice, the courtship of Darcy and Elizabeth is challenged and comes close to failure multiple times but ends with a marriage that fulfills a happier ending. In the beginning, social structure refrains Darcy from considering dancing with Elizabeth, then as he is forced to spend more time seeing within the depths of who she truly is he overcomes the social hurdles while she remains hesitant but eventually together they overcome the idea that reputation in society can choke to strength of true love.

Humor serves as a universal medicine. A good laugh is surely to cure any case of sadness. In literature, even though many times authors incorporate satire just for humor, other authors like Jane Austen include satire to comment on specific practices of society. So called “good” satire consists of dry humor with weaved in criticism that addresses social norms and common practices of a specific era. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen successfully satirizes society’s view of marriage and the pressures society puts upon women to marry a man not for love but for a “business” relation.

Romeo and Juliet is a classic love story that many people know or have heard about throughout their lives. William Shakespeare’s poetic words help to show that that love between the “star-cross’d lovers” (0.0. is undoubtedly true love. Firstly, Romeo wanted to go to the Capulet party so that he could see Rosaline whom he was supposedly in love with but, the moment he laid his eyes on Juliet, Rosaline became irrelevant to his heart. In that moment he first saw Juliet, he said, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/For i ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”

Bingley, Miss Bingley, Mr. Darcy, Miss Lucas, and Mrs. Hurst as Elizabeth’s facebook friends. All the friends are connected somehow. For example, Mr. Darcy is best friends with Mr. Bingley, who has a sister that really likes Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy likes Elizabeth, while Miss Bingley dislikes Elizabeth. Then Jane is in love with Mr. Bingley as well as Miss Lucas, and Mrs. Hurst is the sister of Mr. Bingley and Miss Bingley. In other words, Elizabeth has certain relationships with these people, and all the characters connect through friendships, relationships, or are family. Then for the photos that she has are relevant to her traits. I drew nature scenes to portray the peace and calmness of Elizabeth. Nature can be interpreted as free which relates to Elizabeth who likes to do things her way, freely. For example, instead of taking a coach or ride a horse, instead Elizabeth said “‘No, indeed. I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing when one has a motive; only three miles.”’(21). In other words, Elizabeth prefers to endure the walk rather than taking the horses. This shows that Elizabeth makes her own choices and decisions for she likes to do things her own

Pride and Prejudice and Romeo and Juliet are two of the most acclaimed and outstanding English literature composed about the conflict of love. Although both William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and Jane Austen ‘Pride and Prejudice’ are two different genres of literary, one as a play and the other, a novel - both have had a huge impact on the sense of marriage and love. Despite both works are set during the Regency Era and the Renaissance Era, I will demonstrate that both are certainly similar regarding love and marriage.

Living with a man who was not one’s husband was one matte; but marrying out of one’s social class is another action that society would denounce. Mr. Bingley was fascinated with Jane Bennet since their first meeting. His friends and family had gone out of their way to warn him not to marry her as it would ruin his relationships with his upper class acquaintances. One friend in particular, Fitzwilliam Darcy, had taken extra precautions to make sure that his friend would not tarnish his own reputation. “The first mentioned was that regardless of the sentiments of either, I had detached Mr. Bingley from your sister...” (Austen 168) These words, written in a letter from Darcy, are proof that he had derailed Bingley and Jane’s relationship for the good of Bingley’s character. Although society defamed people marrying out of their social class, Bingley and Jane had eventually found themselves together, despite the disapproval of his friends and family.

Her dislike of him grows as his liking of her increase until whilst she is visiting her recently married best friend Charlotte, and her husband, Elizabeth’s cousin Mr Collins, Mr Darcy proposes. Elizabeth refuses, however when she discovers she was mistaken in her view of him her feelings towards him warm, particularly after she finds out he saved her sister from disgrace by paying Mr Wickham (Darcy’s adversary and the man who had eloped with her sister) to marry Lydia. They finally put aside their differences and marry, to Darcy’s aunt Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Miss Bingley’s disgust.

Similarly, Mary's awkward and reclusive actions promote her as an agreeable suitor; this makes her the only Bennett sister to not have the opportunity to be married. The two oldest sisters contain the most agreeable and independent personalities among the Bennett sisters, which foreshadows their successful relationships. Jane’s positive attitude causes Bingley to be attracted to her, but Darcy questions Bingley’s choice. By the end of the novel, Bingley realizes that he made a mistake to leave Jane. Jane’s marriage is the first marriage bring prestige to the Bennetts. As for Elizabeth, her personality first comes across unagreeable to suitors, but suitors realize that she is the next respectful Bennett sister besides Jane. Darcy's entitled personality clashes with Elizabeth's prideful attitude; eventually, Darcy discovers that Elizabeth's odd behaviors results from taking care of her family. He admires her commitment; like Elizabeth, Darcy values his sister more than anyone. Darcy and Elizabeth family values cause them to find common ground away from their previous views of each other. Austen wrote the Bennetts' family dynamics to foreshadow the success of the sisters’ future marriage; they also demonstrate the importance of family values in a relationship.
