Jane Austen

George Knightley is a close friend of Emma Woodhouse's father in Jane Austen's novel "Emma." He is a respected landowner in the village of Highbury and is portrayed as a sensible, caring, and mature man who acts as a moral compass for Emma. George Knightley eventually becomes Emma's romantic interest and they get married by the end of the novel.

I would have to say certainly not. Autism spectrum includes Asperger's Syndrome, and people who have that can be very creative, certainly. But they do not understand people; they do not understand psychology. Jane Austen seems to have understood other people to well to have been in the spectrum.

I could be wrong.

Mr. Darcy's housekeeper's name in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is Mrs. Reynolds. She is portrayed as a kind and loyal servant who speaks highly of Mr. Darcy.

Elizabeth first tells her best friend, Charlotte Lucas, of her engagement to Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice.

Because they don't feel the need to destroy his good name, as he was very popular in Meryton. They choose to keep the truth hidden, as he has already ceased his attentions towards Lizzy and he seems to be about to marry a rich girl. No longer considering him a threat, they decide to allow him to leave quietly the area with his regiment. Besides, Darcy had not authorised Lizzy to make his and his sister's story public - another reason to shut up, as such a story could ruin a girl's reputation.

From Wikipedia : The manuscript for Sanditon was originally titled "The Brothers," likely after the Parker brothers in the story. After her death, her family renamed it "Sanditon." The original manuscript includes only the first eleven chapters of the story.

Lady Catherine has decided that Darcy should marry her daughter, Anne, who will inherit the estate of Rosings and be very wealthy. The fact that Darcy is also wealthy is one of the important things that makes the match suitable in Lady Catherine's eyes.

When Jane asks this, Elizabeth says she really cannot say, except that it might be when she first saw Pemberly. The idea that it started with seeing Pemberly is, of course, a joke.

As a reader, I get the impression that the beginning dates to her reading of the letter from Darcy, which tells her not only that she has been mistaken about Wickham, but that she has also been mistaken about Darcy.

Mr Darcy did not give a letter to Jane.

He did give a letter to Elizabeth the morning after he proposed and she rejected him. The purpose of the letter was to defend himself against accusations she brought against him when she declined his proposal.

Jane Austen's favorite character was Elizabeth Bennet from "Pride and Prejudice." She admired Elizabeth's intelligence, wit, and independent spirit, which made her a strong and realistic heroine for Austen's time. Elizabeth also embodies many of Austen's own qualities and values, making her a favorite character for the author.

One of my copies of Pride and Prejudice has Elizabeth arriving at Hunsford to visit Charlotte in Chapter V of Volume II, and staying until Chapter XV of the same volume.

The other copy does not go by volumes, and has the visit starting in Chapter 28 and ending in Chapter 38.

A novel of plot is a story in which the main conflicts come from events and the climax and resolution are decided by the direction of events. It is events that keep the story going. Characterization is often used to enhance events. Stories in the thriller, mystery, and fantasy genres, for instance, are usually plot oriented.

A novel of character is a story in which the main conflicts come from the character(s) (whether internal or external). The climax and resolution are decided by either a character changing their ways or not. Events are often used to enhance characterization. The characters themselves keep the story pressing forward. Examples of this are found in most literary works, and the comedy, romance, and drama genres.

Since events in P&P mainly happen to enhance, challenge, and change the characters, and the whole point is whether or not the characters change, it is a novel of character.

Emma was dedicated to the Prince of Wales, who was regent at the time and became King George IV.

What he actually let out for widespread talk was that he had business in town. What he made available to a select few, such as Lizzy, was that he did not want to be there because of a certain gentleman who would be present, and whom he blamed for everything wrong in his life. In the end, we suspect he was afraid of being confronted by Darcy because he was afraid Darcy might reveal what their past was - that Wickham had taken money instead of the parish he claimed Darcy refused him, and that Wickham had tried unsuccessfully to elope with Georgiana Darcy to get her 30,000 pounds.

No, Jane Austen was not part of the Rococo period. She belonged to the Regency period, which followed the Rococo style. Austen's works are more closely associated with the Georgian and early Regency periods in England.

Jane Austen wrote for people who had some education and were well read. Whether this is for common people or not might depend on what you mean by common. Certainly, she did not write for people who were vulgar, nor did she write for people of mean understanding.

Much of her writing makes references to other literature, and this is often not explicit. Even where it is explicit, we cannot really appreciate her intentions without having read the books she refers to. In the case of her novel Northanger Abbey, for example, she refers to Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho, But unless we have read that book, we cannot understand that John Thorpe's refusal to stop his carriage to let Catherine out is implicitly made to relate to a kidnapping.

Also, much of the humor of Jane Austen is not available without some general education. For example, she has people she wishes to show ridiculous use bad grammar, but she nearly never has her heroines do this. Unless the reader really understands grammar, he cannot recognize this.

This is not to say that special education is needed to enjoy Jane Austen's work. Quite the contrary is true. Her novels are quite rich even for people who do not appreciate their nuances. It is just to say that her target audience is well educated.

Jane Austen was actually famous during the Regency period, which preceded the Victorian era. She was known for her novels such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility" which explored themes of love, class, and marriage in English society of the early 19th century. Though she passed away before the Victorian era began, her works remained popular and influential during that time and continue to be celebrated today.

Darcy's friend who tells Elizabeth that Darcy has separated Bingley from Jane is Mr. Bingley's sister, Caroline. She reveals this information to Elizabeth out of jealousy towards Jane and to further her own interests in marrying Darcy herself.

Charlotte believes that Jane's ability to maintain her composure around Mr. Bingley despite her feelings for him is a sign of her maturity and self-control. She admires Jane's ability to handle her emotions with grace and dignity.

There are undoubtedly more Jane Austen movies to come. So far there have been more than I can count easily, and people will continue to produce their own versions, with their own visions of how to interpret the novels.

Darcy reveals details of Wickham's past that show he is a fortune hunter - a man intent on marrying a wealthy woman for her money. We also conclude from Darcy's letter that Wickham is improvident, not motivated to be productive and gambles.

Perhaps the weakest was the father of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility, who died leaving his wife and daughters with barely enough money to live on. In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Bennet neglected his daughter's educations and failed to provide them with a dowry. In Emma, Emma Woodhouse's father was eccentric, declining mentally, or both. Fanny Price's father, in Mansfield Park, was a drunk who did not have a decent job, and her surrogate father neglected to provide his children with moral principles. In Persuasion, Anne Elliot's father was vain and self centered to the point of being ridiculous. The only one of the heroines who might have had a reasonable father was Catherine Morland, in Northanger Abbey, and her father barely figures in the book.
