Elizabeth Moberly

As Jane Austen says, “a lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment. I knew you would be wishing me joy” (26). Today, for most people, love comes first in the process of matrimony— followed by the actual marriage. Women living in the 1800s have only wealth in mind when deciding who to marry; which is entirely different from individuals today, who consider various aspects of a person other than material objects. In Jane Austen’s Pride

faces similar issues. Susan Morgan starts her literacy criticism by talking about Elizabeth Bennet's character. She mentions that Elizabeth is flawed which is why she is well liked by readers. Her flaws show the genuineness of her character and allow readers to make a connection to her. The connection is easily made because the way that Austen created Elizabeth made her appear to be a real person. Elizabeth is often boldly rude and disrespectful, yet at the same time she is self confident and

The Crucible Many different parts form together to make up the society we see in The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller. Whether it be religion, government, or social roles; they all play some sort of impacting part to the characters we met while watching The Crucible. Who knew that religion and government could change a person’s life in a matter of minutes like it did so many times throughout the movie. The characters like Abigail Williams and John Proctor both knew the risks of going against

the day after Proctor’s death and I just needed to get out of the house and clear my mind. I was unaware that Elizabeth Proctor needed a bit of fresh air too. We both took the same path down a nice trail of beautiful scenery. I thought to myself, “What could she possibly be doing at the same place I am?” Sarcastically Elizabeth thought “Oh boy, just who I wanted to see.” Elizabeth and I soon start walking next to each other. We both are just trying to enjoy a wonderful day in Salem. The

of Elizabeth Bennet and Charlotte Lucas. The main points that will be compared and contrasted include the relative beauty, age and the characters of Elizabeth Bennet and Charlotte Lucas.

By the end of this essay, the reader will be able to discern the differences and similarities in both Elizabeth and

the ideal gentleman. In contrast to William Lucas, Mr. Darcy epitomizes Regency England’s model gentleman. His sensibleness affects his romantic pursuits. For example, he can discern a superficial prospect from a higher-minded individual like Elizabeth Bennet. He ignores Miss Bingley’s transparent overtures for his affections, favoring Elizabeth’s independent spirit. In one episode centering on Miss Bingley’s pretended interest in literature, Mr. Darcy recognizes that the young woman focuses on

Darcy revels this fact to Elizabeth stating, “‘I have no wish of denying that I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister, or that I rejoice in my success. Towards him I have been kinder than towards myself’” (pg 162). At the end of the novel Jane Bennet is

For centuries, humans have utilized defense mechanisms to explain the unfortunate occurrences of humanity that we are incapable of conceiving through our narrow, defensive minds. Humans most commonly scapegoat their enemies, or the entirely innocent, for their internal issues as a means of coping for their insecurities or explaining the irrational or biased situations they find themselves in. Similarly, others cope just as easily by lying to themselves, which can establish a false reality in the

Our English II class approached Arthur Miller’s The Crucible from a way unique to any previous English assignment. We decided to operate as an unified ensemble to generate a singular and complete project that demonstrated our growth as readers, writers, and thinkers. Originally we were scared at the prospect of this unorthodox assignment; as Jada put it, “[we] thought it was gonna be a hot mess” (Jant). But in the end, I believe it was correct to do it as an ensemble. We were able to work as individual

new son-in-law. When Mr. Collins comes to visit he creates a very uncomfortable atmosphere. It seems as though he is already deciding on where he should put his furniture. However, he’s not there to move in just yet though. He came to propose to Elizabeth. His reason for doing this is primarily because he knows the situation the Bennets are in and wants to help them in some way. Then there is Mr. Darcy. While all of this is happening, we move across to the Pemberley estate. He owns the splendid property
