How is the structure in Pride and Prejudice?

Answer 1

- Split into 3 volumes - reflecting common literature in 19th century Regency England. Each volume ends at a pivotal moment

- The narrative acts to frame the majority of chapters, with a large proportion of dialogue in between. The abundance of dialogue over description allows the reader to focus on what each character is saying and so the reader's perception of them is largely shaped through their words. The narrative usually

reinforces the reader's views and opinions through the paragraph concluding most chapters.

- Consider who has been given the largest mean length of utterance

Mrs Bennet usually has this, accurately reflecting her dominating personality,

whilst Mary is rarely given a chance for dialogue, showing how insignificant she is to the narrative.
