Jane Austen

Jane Austen wrote Mansfield Park between 1812 and 1814. It was published in 1814.

"Biblogy" is a term used by Mr. Elton in Jane Austen's novel "Emma" when he actually meant to say "apology." This mistake reflects Mr. Elton's pretentiousness and lack of education, which serves to highlight his character's flaws and social aspirations in the novel.

Jane Austen used themes such as love, marriage, social class, and morality in her novels to reflect the society of her time and to critique its conventions and restrictions, particularly for women. Through her keen observations and witty portrayals of characters, Austen explored these themes with depth and nuance, creating timeless stories that continue to resonate with readers today.

Are you talking about time period? That would be the Regency (1811-1820). That is when all her books were published. Some of her life took place during the Georgian period, but please keep in mind that her books are not Georgian, and certainly not Victorian.

Jane Gardam wrote "The Pangs of Love" to explore the complexities of relationships, love, and human nature. The stories in the collection delve into the highs and lows of romantic connections, portraying both the beauty and challenges that come with loving someone. Gardam's insightful and poignant writing style captures the nuances of human emotions and experiences in a compelling way.

Yes, Elizabeth initially believed Wickham's account of Darcy's misconduct due to her prejudice against Darcy. However, as she learned more about Wickham's true character and Darcy's actions, she eventually realized the truth and came to see Wickham's deceit.

Mr. Bingley is portrayed as not particularly proud in Pride and Prejudice. He is described as good-natured, amiable, and lacking in the haughty pride that some other characters, like Mr. Darcy, exhibit. Elizabeth Bennet also shows moments of humility and self-awareness, which contrast with the proud behavior of other characters.

Comic characters in Pride and Prejudice include Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins, and Mary Bennet. Mrs. Bennet's obsession with marrying off her daughters, Mr. Collins' ridiculous flattery and social awkwardness, and Mary's pretentiousness and lack of self-awareness all contribute to the humor in the novel.

Salemites viewed novels and theater as forms of entertainment and cultural expression. Novels were seen as a popular form of storytelling that allowed readers to escape reality and explore different worlds, while theater was considered a more interactive and live way to experience stories and emotions. Both novels and theater were important parts of Salemites' leisure and cultural activities.

Jane Austen promised her sister that "Pride and Prejudice" would have a happy ending, which it does with the marriage of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

In "Pride and Prejudice," the houses reflect the social status and personalities of their owners. For example, Mr. Darcy's grand estate of Pemberley symbolizes his wealth and position in society, while the Bennet family's Longbourn estate is less impressive, reflecting their lower social standing. The differences in the houses also highlight the disparities in social class and values among the characters.

Emma is twenty-one years old at the beginning of Jane Austen's novel "Emma."

In "Pride and Prejudice," there is no character named Hill. There is, however, a housekeeper named Mrs. Hill who works for the Bennet family at Longbourn. She is a minor character in the novel, responsible for managing the household affairs.

Elizabeth's tries to make decisions that are rational, or based on logic, but is not always able to do so.

One problem is that the premises she works on are sometimes wrong, and so she does not always reach the proper conclusion. She decides Darcy is arrogant and unkind based partly on her own overhearing him saying that she was not handsome enough to tempt him, and that he would not dance. But she also bases her attitude toward Darcy on lies told by Wickham.

Another problem she has is that her observations are often subjective and wrong. She trusts Wickham because of his appearance. What she should have done was to question his actions. Late in the book, she realizes that Wickham's statements about Darcy were inappropriately told to her, and that many of Wickham's other statements or actions exceeded propriety. She should have been more guarded about judging him, and realizes she had been taken in. In retrospect, she realizes that thoughts she believed were rational were actually not.

Yes, in "Pride and Prejudice", Mr. Bennet's sister, Mrs. Phillips, mentions the death of Mr. Bennet's father and Elizabeth's grandfather. Additionally, Lydia elopes with Mr. Wickham, which brings shame to the family, but no one dies in the book.

After Elizabeth and Darcy marry, they move to Pemberley, and Kitty joins them there. Jane and Bingley buy an estate about thirty miles away. Lydia and Wickham stay together, but lose affection for each other. Mary stays home with her mother.

"Pride and Prejudice" is a romantic novel set in the early 19th century in England. It is typically classified as both a romance novel and a work of classic literature.

Mr. Bennet's heir is Mr. Collins.

Though Mr. Bennet has five daughters, none can be the heiress, because the estate is entailed. The entailment states that the heir has to be male. The result is that because Mr. Bennet has no son, the estate must be left to the next male in line, who is a cousin.

The entailment is not something that was automatic under English law. Estates could be left to daughters, and were, unless some owner wrote the entailment into a deed or will.

Since Rosings is not entailed, Anne de Bourgh is able to inherit the estate. Her situation provides an interesting counterpoise to that of the Bennet girls.

He manages to insult them, mentioning their "shame", congratulating himself on his good fortune of NOT marrying one of the Bennet daughters, who will henceforth become "unmarriable", and suggesting that Lydia should be left to die alone and poor.

Mr. Darcy's Pemberley is a fictional estate in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." In the novel, Elizabeth Bennet visits Pemberley and is impressed by its grandeur and beauty. Austen uses Pemberley as a symbol of Darcy's wealth, status, and transformation into a more likable character.

The novel that followed Mansfield Park is Emma, published in 1815.

- Split into 3 volumes - reflecting common literature in 19th century Regency England. Each volume ends at a pivotal moment

- The narrative acts to frame the majority of chapters, with a large proportion of dialogue in between. The abundance of dialogue over description allows the reader to focus on what each character is saying and so the reader's perception of them is largely shaped through their words. The narrative usually

reinforces the reader's views and opinions through the paragraph concluding most chapters.

- Consider who has been given the largest mean length of utterance

Mrs Bennet usually has this, accurately reflecting her dominating personality,

whilst Mary is rarely given a chance for dialogue, showing how insignificant she is to the narrative.

Hope that helped...Now do the rest of your homework yourself ;)

Jane Austen's political views were not explicitly stated in her works, but scholars believe she held conservative views aligned with the landed gentry class of her time. She often focused on themes of social hierarchy, class distinctions, and the importance of manners and morals in her novels, reflecting her belief in the stability of traditional social structures.

It was one of her first works, so she was trying different styles. On the other hand, Gothic novels are central to the book's plot, that is why this type of literature is quoted frequently. I do not think Austen appreciated it: it must have had too much exaggeration, too much feeling and drama for a woman of her principles and taste (so she indirectly ironised both her heroine and her beloved Gothic literature).

Jane Austen, the author, died in the year 1817, which is (as I type) almost 200 years ago.
