Jane Austen's novels contain many influences from her own life. She, like her heroines, was quite independent. Music and dance were important in both Jane Austen's world and her novels. They allowed women to demonstrate their skills in public settings. This is shown in Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey. Jane Austen came from a clerical family, and the church played roles in both Pride and Prejudice (Mr. Collins), and Mansfield Park (Edmund). Mansfield Park also demonstrates the Evangelical movement during her time. The Napoleonic Wars is background to some of Jane Austen's works, including Pride and Prejudice (the militia). Many places in Jane Austen's novels are thought to be inspired by places she had visited or read/heard about. One example is Pemberley; believed to be influenced by her brother Edward's home. Jane Austen's own beliefs influenced her writing. In her letters to her niece she demonstrated her belief in marrying for affection. Marrying for mercenary reasons was condemned by herself and her heroines (Elizabeth Bennet and Fanny Price).
Elizabeth and Darcy undergo a transformation in Jane Austen's novel. Both of them must overcome pride and prejudice. Elizabeth was too proud to consider that she had misjudged Wickham and Darcy and she had too much pride to forgive Darcy for insulting her at the assembly where they first met. Darcy had to overcome his pride in general - he was proud of himself, his family, his station in life. Elizabeth was prejudiced in that she judged everyone - especially Darcy - too quickly and by their first impression, which she learns is not always accurate. Darcy was prejudiced because he believed he was better than everyone in Meryton and that he couldn't possibly enjoy himself there and that no one in such a town could be his intellectual equal.
