George Wickham is a character in the Jane Austin novel Pride and Prejudice (first published in 1813). George Wickham is the antagonist of the novel and Mr Darcy's opponent. Wickham initially captures the attentions of Elizabeth Bennet, but he is not all he seems! To learn more, see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Links."

Jane Austen was born at Steventon Rectory in North-East Hampshire. She moved to Bath, when she was 25, in 1800 and lived there several years. She eventually moved to Chawton House back in Hampshire.

The literary period is Romanticism (1800-1860)

Caroline Bingley is the sister of Charles Bingley, Darcy's best friend, and the eventual husband of Jane Bennet. Caroline is hoping to marry Darcy herself, and to have her brother marry Darcy's sister, so she is quite set against Jane and Elizabeth Bennet. She goes out of her way to belittle Elizabeth in front of Darcy, without realizing that she is making herself ridiculous to him every time she talks about it.

Mr. Darcy gave George Wickham the money to marry Lydia in order to save the Bennet family's reputation and to ensure Lydia's well-being. Wickham had previously tried to elope with Lydia without intention of marrying her, which would have brought shame upon the family.

If you mean Jane Austen's original name for the book, then it was "First Impressions". Past that i am sure i know not what you mean.

While some aspects of marriage may involve chance, creating a happy marriage involves active effort and communication between partners. Mutual respect, understanding, compromise, and commitment play significant roles in fostering a fulfilling and happy marriage. By working together and prioritizing the relationship, couples can increase their chances of a successful and happy marriage.

Syllogism is a form of deductive reasoning much favoured by the Ancient Greeks as it lent itself to discovery by argument and discussion without the need to do any boring, energetic stuff like experimentation.

Jane Austen was born in a village called Steventon, in the north of Hampshire. She lived at the rectory there until she was about twenty five years old, when she moved with her family to Bath..

The Bennets lived at an Estate called Longbourne.

The Bingleys that are in the book acquired it through their family members...their family members obviously worked hard to acquire wealth and ended up passing it down through the generations to the Bingleys that are in the book.

Darcy dislikes Wickham due to their past history. Wickham attempted to elope with Darcy's sister and spread lies about Darcy, causing Darcy to believe Wickham is untrustworthy and deceitful. Additionally, Wickham displays an irresponsible and manipulative nature which further contributes to Darcy's negative opinion of him.

She walks over to Netherfield house and gets her petticoat filthy, she rejects Mr Collins' proposal and she blatantly answers back as Lady Catherin tells her nothing she has is good enough for her nephew.

Jane Austen's first two books to be published, Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, were published by Thomas Egerton. The rest of her books were published by John Murray, who was a better known publisher.

Pride and Prejudice is a classic novel about love with underlying issues such as the importance put on social status and gender in the 1800's. It is a novel that not only is a joy to read, but comes alive on film as well. A story that remains relevant after 100 or more years after being published is a rare piece. Pride and Prejudice does just that by reminding women that staying true to oneself is always the right thing to do. It is one of my favorites and a work that I could read over and over.

Darcy says Elizabeth is tolerable, but not pretty enough to tempt him. This is important because she hears him, is offended, and winds up being prejudiced against him for a long while after that.

Lydia was supposed to keep Darcy's involvement in her wedding secret.

Darcy had provided what was, in essence, Lydia's dowry, the money Wickham demanded to marry Lydia (though Lydia might have been unaware of the fact that Wickham would not have married her otherwise). This money was was used to buy Wickham an army commission and pay his debts. Darcy paid for the wedding, and attended it as best man.

This was the main form of communication between people, either near or far away. In case of emergency (if the sender could afford it), he could send a private messenger on horseback or by coach.

In a sense, Jane Austen's writing is about women and their opportunities, or lack thereof. In her day, women of Jane Austen's class had few choices. Most married, if they could, but the time was one in which a quarter of the young men were going off to war, and a lot of young women had to go without husbands. A very few, like Anne De Bourgh, were wealthy in their own right and did not need to marry, though her mother was very busy lobbying for her marriage to Darcy. Some took jobs as governesses, though elsewhere in Jane Austen's writing, this was likened to slavery. Many became dependent on relatives to support them, and it was the fear of this that motivated Charlotte Lucas to marry Mr. Collins.

Four choices. Not much. Lizzy was brave.

Jane Austen never was never married and never had children. She died at the age of 41.

Balls were important events where people could meet. They were particularly important for young men and women to meet each other as they looked for marriage partners. But they were also important for general socializing.

Jane Austen had six brothers and one sister, Cassandra, who was the basis for one of her characters, Jane Bennet, in Pride and Prejudice.

Sense and Sensibility is narrated mostly from Elinor's point of view.

At the ball where they meet, he looks down on everybody, clearly despising the local gentry. Furthermore, he tells the over-enthusiastic Bingley that he is dancing with the only presentable girl he saw that evening, adding that Elisabeth is "tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me" - a comment overheard by Elisabeth.
