Jane Austen

Darcy spends most of the proposal dwelling on how inferior Elizabeth's social status and family are compared to his own, expressing his doubts and reservations about their union. He also mentions his strong feelings for her and his struggle to overcome his pride and admiration for her.

Mr. Bennet said that Lydia and Wickham would never be admitted to Longbourne. Of course, his wife had last word on the subject, though we have no description of how that happened.

A traditional heroine is a female character in literature, film, or mythology who typically exhibits courage, resilience, and moral integrity. She often overcomes challenges and obstacles to achieve her goals, and is seen as a positive role model for others.

Two authors influenced by Jane Austen's style of writing are Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte Brontë. Both writers drew inspiration from Austen's focus on social interactions and the complexities of human relationships in their works.

Jane Austen wrote one play, called "Sir Charles Grandison," adapted from the novel by Samuel Richardson, in the period of about 1795 to 1800. It was not published until many years after she died, and is not considered one of her mature works.

Mr. Bennet had found his wife attractive when they were younger. She was good looking, lively, and silly in an endearing way. He came to realize, too late, that he would have been happier with an equal partner.

Lady Catherine lied to Elizabeth by saying that Mr. Darcy had agreed to marry her daughter, Anne de Bourgh. In reality, Mr. Darcy had not proposed to Anne and had no intention of doing so. Lady Catherine's intention was to discourage Elizabeth from pursuing a relationship with Mr. Darcy.

I think not. Emma has just seen the Westons' marriage, which she claims to have made come about, but I do not think that is sufficient to be more than a little background information. The plot of the book does not require the Westons' wedding, and it could have been done without it.

Mary King inherited an estate of 10,000 pounds. She went to Meryton to visit her uncle, and was immediately courted by Wickham, who we can assume was after her money. She is removed from Meryton by her family, presumably to get her away from him.

First, i hope this is not for a paper and therefore cheating. But to answer your question vaguely, think of the similarities between Elizabeth Bennet and Jane Austen herself.

1) Both women refuse to marry without affection

2) Both women refuse the many offers of marriages

3) Both had a Mr. Collins like figure (Jane's being a Mr. John Warren)

the first likeness stated is, perhaps, the most important and most relevant answer to your question. Look at the first few sentences of Pride and Prejudice and you will find that the norm of the day is the opposite of Elizabeth's (and therefore, Jane's) philosophy to happiness, love, marriage, etc.

Start there, and you should find your answer, best of luck

Lady Catherine de Bourgh is given the odd situation of being a character more mentioned than present!

Austen uses her in different ways- firstly to show that being wealthy and important does not necessarily bring happiness or friends.

Secondly, Catherine de Bourgh has the self-importance that means she never considers her own opinion to be anything less than infallible- her lack of skills on the piano do not stop her from believing she would be 'proficient' and better than others, if she had ever been taught.

Thirdly, that there will always be those who 'suck up' to power and property- Mr Collins is a prime example of this. It is not for her wisdom or personality that he adores her!

Fourthly- she is a good indication of the background that Mr Darcy has to fight against to become his own person. Imagine that Darcy has been growing up around those who believe that their importance is much greater than others less fortunate, that their opinions are equally so and that haughtiness and 'rude' behaviour is acceptable in themselves, because of their own importance! Darcy himself admits that he was given good principles, but left to follow them without further guidance. The contradiction between the behaviour he saw and the behaviour he was told to follow is a good mirror to the behaviour shown in Lydia, who followed the behaviour of her mother more than the behaviour implored of her by her sisters!

Lastly, Lady Catherine de Bourgh is used as one who Lizzie has little respect for- but still feels the need to fight against. Their talk in the garden towards the end of the book is such that it provokes Lizzie to confront her own feelings- any opponent less forceful could only have forced Lizzie to amusement and wit rather than getting her to show her true emotions!

It depends on how you are using "Jane or me".

Here are examples:

Correct: Jane or I will be going to the park.

Incorrect: Jane or me/myself will be going to the park.

Correct: Please give the book to Jane or me.

Incorrect: Please give the book to Jane or I/myself.

(I hear this incorrect usage quite often.)

Correct: I did it myself.

(Notice how only "I" can act on "myself". No one else can act on "myself"...because they are not the self.)

The rule is this:

Take the other person out of the sentence, and I/me/myself should stand on it's own.

If used as the subject, use "I".

If used as the direct object, use "me".

If reflecting back on the self, with the subject of "I", use "myself".

Mrs. Hurst's first name in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is Caroline. She is the sister of Mr. Bingley, and is often seen accompanying her sister-in-law, Miss Bingley, in social situations.

From the time Lizzy meets Wickham, until she reads Darcy's letter, she thinks Wickham is probably the most amiable man she has ever met. After reading and reviewing that letter, however, she comes to understand Wickham is a fraud. His elopement seals his fate, as far Lizzy's opinion is concerned, and in the end she really wants to avoid him; to her he is no longer amiable at all.

It is really difficult to specify her influence. We know it was extensive, even during her lifetime. She was admired by the Prince of Wales and his daughter, who was Princess of Wales. Her books were popular, but not as popular as those of other authors. She was, perhaps, too intellectual for many people.

Jane Austen did not deal directly with political or social issues in her writing, so there were no causes we can point to and judge her success. She was not "the little woman who started the big war." But she did write about problems people had that were the results of unfair laws and customs. They were specifically problems with women inheriting money, women finding and having ways to make livings, neglect of education, social evaluations of worthiness based on wealth or income, and so on.

We can point to these problems, and to the authors who dealt with them. And when we examine them, we see that she was one of the first, and possible was the first to provide people of "good standing" with written material they would consider. In this way, she may have been more influential than someone who commented directly on social and political issues.

Mary Wolstonecraft wrote explicitly on these issues before Jane Austen's novels were published, but we cannot really say she was more influential than Jane Austen. While Wolstonecraft's reputation lay in shreds and her writings were out of print, Jane Austen was quietly moving one generation after another to love women like Lizzy, Elinor, and Marianne, women like the women they knew and loved in life.

Anyone who hoped Lizzy could succeed in life despite an entailment, could hardly look at entailment again as simply acceptable. Anyone who examined Jane Fairfax's views on earning a living as a governess could hardly wonder why women could not get good jobs and support themselves. And in the end, anyone who loved any of Jane Austen's writing (including King George IV) had to ask how the worthiness of a woman could be translated into a number of pounds per annum.

Personally, I think Jane Austen's influence was enormous, even if it was quiet. She did this by making you fall in love first and ask questions later.

Lady Catherine objects to Elizabeth's family because of their want of fortune and their want of connections, especially on the side of Elizabeth's mother, whose family is in trade and law. She finally objects because of Lydia's scandalous elopement, which was only patched up into a marriage at great expense to her uncle.

The Darcy name was associated with the landed gentry, but not with the nobility, except by marriage. The Darcy family's wealth, however, fostered marriages with aristocratic families. They were ranked significantly higher that the Bennets, who were also of the landed gentry, but whose connections included marriages to attorneys and people successful in trade.

Jane Austen's mother, Cassandra Leigh Austen, was born to Thomas and Jane Leigh. Thomas Leigh was a country parson, and Cassandra grew up in the village of Harpsden, near Henley-on-Thames, where her father had a parish.

The theme of the country parson was common in Jane Austen's work. Her own father was also a member of the clergy, and ran country parishes at Steventon, Hampshire. Most of her novels had such people in them as important characters, some well regarded and others not.

She was proposed to three times. First by Mr. Collins, whom she refused. Secondly by Mr. Darcy, whom she intially also refused. And the third time she was proposed to by Darcy again, whom she accepted. =)

Edward Ferrars ends up marrying Elinor Dashwood in "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen. Despite facing obstacles and misunderstandings, their love triumphs in the end, and they live happily together.

We cannot know for certain. But Jane Austen was a pretty good observer of human character. She seemed to understand psychology very well. She understood other people's motives. These are things people with Asperger's Syndrome seem to have more trouble with than other people.

Jane Austen had already done quite a lot of work on Persuasion, her last completed novel, when she became ill. Her illness is thought to have prevented her from editing this novel quite as much as she would have liked, but it is known that the last two chapters were rewritten while she was ill. There is no evidence of illness in the book. After she became ill she wrote parts of an incomplete novel now known as Sanditon, in which hypochondria is featured, perhaps as a reflection of her condition.

Examples of oxymorons in Pride and Prejudice include "fine eyes" and "proud humility." These phrases contain contradictory terms that create a sense of tension or contrast in the language.

In her biography of Jane Austen, Claire Tomalin devotes an entire chapter to the letter "L," focusing on Austen's experiences related to Love, Loss, and Literature.

Yes, Jane Austen passed away on July 18, 1817. She was an English novelist known for her works such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." Despite her death, her writings continue to be celebrated and studied today.
