Jane Austen

Lizzy writes to Mrs. Gardner to find out why Darcy was at Lydia's wedding.

Mrs. Gardner is surprised by the question, since she thought Darcy and Lizzy were in love and secretly in communication about the whole thing (this is not explicit, but implied in the novel). She writes to tell Lizzy that Darcy had searched London for Wickham and Lydia, and found them. Darcy had negotiated a marriage deal with Wickham, under the terms of which Wickham would marry Lydia in exchange for having his debts paid and getting a commission in the army bought for him. Darcy also provided the money and arranged the wedding, at which Darcy was best man.

Officially, a very small sum per year, plus the payment of his debts. As the total amount is suspiciously low (not much more than the cost of Lydia's dresses), Mr. Bennet is convinced that his brother-in-law must have paid a very large bribe to get Wickham marry Lydia. Someone had indeed paid him off, only it had been Darcy!

Mr. Bennet is angry and ashamed because Lydia eloped with Wickham and lived together, unmarried, in London. He does not want to appear to sanction those actions. Also, he is ashamed of himself for failing to raise Lydia and provide for her properly.

Mr. Bennett in "Pride and Prejudice" spends most of his time in his library at Longbourn, the family estate. He prefers solitude and reading to the societal engagements that his wife and daughters partake in. His library is his sanctuary where he can escape the chaos of his household.

One turned white, and the other turned red. We are not explicitly told which turned what color, but the orders of the colors and the people in the sentences involved might suggest that Wickham turned white and Darcy red.

Mary loves to read books. From her knowlege, she tries to say "smart things" which her family find terribly embarrassing. In society back then, it was very rarely that you see a women so intrigued in books .

There were two notes. The first was an invitation to lunch, which Jane accepted by

travelling to Netherfield on horseback in the rain, and becoming too ill to return home

immediately.

The second was to tell Jane that everyone at Netherfield had

returned to London, and that Caroline was anticipating having Miss Gergiana for a sister. By saying this, she was implying that Mr Bingley would be marrying Miss Georgiana. Caroline would have liked to reinforce this by marrying Mr Darcy herself.

A ha-ha is a barrier. It is made by digging a ditch in the ground, deep and wide enough that it cannot be easily crossed. The purpose of having a ha-ha rather than a fence or hedgerow is so a person can see a peasant view unobstructed.

The ha-ha, as a barrier, symbolizes other kinds of unseen restraint, such as moral or ethical values. There is a locked gate, through which people can pass if they have a key, but Henry Crawford and Maria Bertram find a way to sneak through. This presages their violation of rules of morals and ethics later in the book.

On the last day before the regiment goes to Brighton, Elizabeth and Wickham talk about her trip to Kent. She had met Col. Fitzwilliam there and had spent more time with Darcy. The discussion, which makes it clear that she likes Darcy better than she had, makes Wickham nervous. He tries to bring up Darcy's alleged mistreatment of him, but Elizabeth is not interested in hearing about this, so the separate with civility only.

Jane Austen started writing at a young age, with her family's support. She really didn't have any inspiration, she just wrote upon the things and events which happened in her lifetime. Characters were depicted off of people which she had encountered with.

The protagonist of Emma is the title character, Emma Woodhouse, a young woman who enjoys matchmaking. The antagonist is more subtle but can be seen as Emma's own misguided beliefs and actions that lead to misunderstandings and complications for herself and others.

She does not write for ANY age group, as she has been dead for approximately 200 years. When she wrote, she did it for the Georgian society - women, mainly, but her readers included many men, even the Prince Regent, the future George the IVth. Even today, women make up the bulk of her readers, but they belong to ALL age groups (from teenagers to those with one foot in the grave).

Jane Austen was a famous English novelist known for her works such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." Writing was her primary profession, and she is regarded as one of the most important literary figures of the 19th century.

Emma Woodhouse and Elizabeth Bennet are both strong-willed and independent women who resist societal norms and expectations. They are perceptive and intelligent characters who learn from their mistakes and grow throughout their respective novels, "Emma" and "Pride and Prejudice." Both characters also have a sense of humor and a sharp wit that adds to their charm.

Jane Austen was a renowned English novelist known for her six major novels, including "Pride and Prejudice," "Sense and Sensibility," and "Emma." Her works explored the social and gender issues of her time with sharp wit and irony, influencing literature for generations to come. Austen's legacy lies in her astute observations of human nature and her enduring impact on the development of the novel as a literary form.

No, there is no evidence to suggest that Jane Austen was ever in jail during her lifetime. Austen was a respected English novelist known for works such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility."

The obstacles they find in themselves (Darcy's pride AND prejudice, Elisabeth's prejudice and even despise), those in each other and - the least important ones - Mr. Bennet's opposition or that of Darcy's rich, stupid and irritating aunt.

Lennox's words exhibit the literary term of irony, as his statement seems to praise Macbeth for his apparent loyalty while actually suggesting suspicion and doubt about his actions and intentions. This creates a contrast between the expected meaning of his words and the underlying implication.

The adjective that least characterizes Mr. Hurst would likely be energetic. Mr. Hurst is often described as lazy, disinterested, or indifferent, rather than energetic.

No. They had similarities, but the contrasts between them were more remarkable.

Mr Darcy was proud and ill at ease with strangers (shy?). He was certainly presumptuous at some times, and it is possible he was self-centered, though we do not know that. He was hardly a buffoon.

By contrast, Mr Collins was also presumptuous and self righteous. He certainly seems to be a self centered buffoon. But he grovelled before those he thought were above him, and he did not connect to those he thought beneath. He also was excessively materialistic, a trait he actively covered by inflicting his moralizing on others who did not need it.

The twp were more different than alike, I think.

Emma is the main character in the novel of the same name. She is a rather spoiled, wealthy young woman, who is somewhat self deluded and believes she is really good at making matches. After her "success" of matching her governess to a local man of some wealth, she attempts to get other couples to fall in love with each other, only to fail miserably. In the process of all of this, she discovers that she, herself, had fallen in love without really realizing it.
