Jane Austen

In those days a pound was a fair amount of money. It was about the earnings for an agricultural worker for a week's work. At that time, and attorney generally earned about 650 pounds per year. An income of 1000 pounds per year was necessary to own a carriage, but it should be born in mind that owning a carriage meant keeping horses, at least one worker to tend the horses, a carriage driver, and at least one footman, in addition to maintaining the carriage itself. Mr. Bennet's income was 2000 pounds, Bingley's was 5000, and Darcy's was 10,000 from and estate that was ten miles around.

The cult of sensibility was a cultural movement in the 18th century that emphasized the importance of emotions, empathy, and moral sensitivity. It encouraged individuals to embrace sentimentalism and to prioritize subjective feelings and compassion towards others. This movement influenced literature, art, and social interactions during the period.

The conflict in Northanger Abbey revolves around the protagonist Catherine Morland's misconceptions and imagination that lead her to misinterpret people and situations. Her tendency to perceive the world through the lens of Gothic novels causes misunderstandings in her relationships, particularly with Henry Tilney, leading to emotional turmoil and self-realization.

Mr. Hurst had a home on Grosvenor Street, which is in the Mayfair area of the City of Westminster, which is a part of London. Grosvenor Square is on the street, and it is, and was, considered quite fashionable.

Jane Austen's parents were George and Cassandra Austen who were both from quite well off families. George was the Rector of Steventon in Hampshire and tutor to a number of young boys. They owned a little land which George farmed.

Mrs. Bennet wants Mr. Bennet to take the family to the seaside town of Brighton for the summer in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." She believes that a trip to a fashionable resort like Brighton will increase their social standing and provide opportunities for her daughters to find wealthy suitors.

Pride and Prejudice is written in free indirect speech. This has been defined as "the free representation of a character's speech, by which one means, not words actually spoken by a character, but the words that typify the character's thoughts, or the way the character would think or speak, if she thought or spoke".

Jane Austen became an author because she had a passion for writing and storytelling. She was encouraged by her family and surrounded by literature from a young age. Austen's keen observations of society and sharp wit also contributed to her becoming a successful author.

No, Jane Austen did not win any awards during her lifetime. While her works have since been recognized as literary classics, she did not receive any awards or accolades during the time she was writing.

Since the 1995 Pride and Prejudice was a TV miniseries, it was not given are rating as a move, but my guess is that it would be rated PG, as the Jane Austen movies have been. It has no bad language, sexual conduct, or violence whatever.

As to critical ratings, it is rated 100% by the critics at Rotten Tomatoes. The 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie was rated 85%.

In general, girls were not schooled in England in those days in the same way that boys were. Upper classes were often sent to school, but it was mainly to learn deportment and the 'accomplishments' of a woman, rather than academic subjects, although they did learn French and possibly Italian.

That said, Jane Austen did go to school for a short time. Her sister Cassandra was being sent to a school in Portsmouth and the two girls refused to be separated, so even though George Austen thought his youngest daughter too young at the age of seven, he sent her along as well. They were not there long, only months, as an outbreak of infectious disease occurred and Mrs Austen and Mrs Cooper, Jane's aunt, came to nurse them and bring all home again, along with her daughter who was at school with the Austen girls. The children all survived, but Mrs Cooper contracted the disease and died shortly after.

Then Cassandra and Jane were sent to the Abbey School in Reading again about a year later for a short while. All in all, though, it did not amount to a lot of time, perhaps a year before the two girls came home again. The head mistress of the school had a wooden leg and was apparently an interesting character.

Much of Jane's learning came from her own father, who taught her along with several boys that he took in as lodgers to teach for extra income... and from her own inquisitiveness in her father's library.

The full passage from Pride and Prejudice is:

This naturally introduced a panegyric from Jane on his diffidence, and the little value he put on his own good qualities.

Elizabeth was pleased to find that he had not betrayed the interference of his friend; for, though Jane had the most generous and forgiving heart in the world, she knew it was a circumstance which must prejudice her against him.

"I am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed!" cried Jane. "Oh! Lizzy, why am I thus singled from my family, and blessed above them all! If I could but see YOU as happy! If there WERE but such another man for you!"

"If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time."

The situation of affairs in the Longbourn family could not be long a secret. Mrs. Bennet was privileged to whisper it to Mrs. Phillips, and she ventured, without any permission, to do the same by all her neighbours in Meryton.

The Bennets were speedily pronounced to be the luckiest family in the world, though only a few weeks before, when Lydia had first run away, they had been generally proved to be marked out for misfortune.

Based on the information in this passage, which adjective best characterizes Jane Bennet's demeanor?

Jane Bennet's demeanor in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen would best be described as exhilarated.

Emily Bronte was one of six children of a humble country rector (minister). Her mother died when Emily was young, and Emily and her sisters sporadically attended the Cowan Bridge School, a facility for the children of poor clergy members. An epidemic broke out while she was there, causing the deaths of her two older sisters. Emily and her sister Charlotte both became ill and returned home to Haworth Rectory.

Sir William Lucas is a character in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." He is a wealthy baronet and the father of Charlotte Lucas, who marries Mr. Collins. Sir William is known for his social climbing aspirations and attempts to ingratiate himself with those of higher social standing, such as Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet star in the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

No, none. Thorpe simply means a small village, and Tilney was the name of the owners of this parish in the early 16th century. The neighbouring village of Timberland used also to be known as Timberland Thorpe.

Mr Darcy lives in Derbyshire in a house called Pemberley. It has beautiful grounds and has one of the finest woods in the whole of England... Not to mention a very well stocked lake!

She was a strong woman, who wrote simply because she loved to, which influences women all over the world to write. Her appearance was said to be of an 'average' look. Because of this, people said that she was not beautiful enough to be a writer. Her language was vivid, and her dialogue fantastic. She did not focus on the appearance of herself OR her characters, which, to this day, is an enlightening fact.

Jane Eyre first accepts Mr.Rochester's proposal. But on the day of their wedding Jane gets to know about Rochester's mad wife "Bertha Mason", who was locked in Thornfield. Then Jane Eyre runs away from Thornfield, because she thought that she was betrayed and taken for granted as she was just another governess.

There are several instances of hypocrisy in Pride and Prejudice, some of which are obvious, and some subtle.

Perhaps the most obvious instances of hypocrisy involve Mr. Collins. When he is not reminding people of his status as a member of the clergy, he is talking admiringly of things that cost a lot of money.

A very good example of hypocrisy that might escape many people is the fun the Bingley sisters make of the Gardners and the Lucas family because their fortunes were made in trade, implying a relatively low status. They are hypocritically ignoring the fact that their own fortune was made in trade.

One of the best examples of hypocrisy is Darcy's attitude toward Elizabeth in the beginning of the book. He regard her as beneath his station, and therefore not eligible even to consider as a mate. This is partly because she has no money. But it is also because her and sister are so ill bred; yet they are no worse than Lady Catherine. One of the things that shakes him loose from this attitude might be that he is forced to review it in light of Lydia's elopement. Some might regard this merely as a scandal, but Darcy knows it was a scandal his own family barely escaped by chance. It would have been very hypocritical if he had held the elopement against Elizabeth, and the fact he did not fall to this feeling speaks highly of his character.

I would also mention Caroline Bingley, who is to me the embodiment of the two-faced false friend. She praises Jane as long as this suits her plans, then she discards (and later coldly ignores) her like a used napkin, sending her an intentionally careless goodbye letter.

The boy showed great sensibility through a rough time with his friends death

Jane Austen was engaged for only one day. She accepted a proposal of marriage from Harris Bigg-Wither on December 2, 1802, but she regretted her decision the next day and ultimately broke off the engagement.
