Do you share Elizabeth's shock at Charlotte engagement to Mr Collins Explain?
Indeed I do. It is understandable that Charlotte was in search of financial security but I always find it sad how she gives up on ever finding true love. There are little hints throughout the novel that hint her marriage will end in unhappiness and I believe this adds to Lizzy's shock. None the less it was good that Elizabeth supported her friend in her decision, even if it was a selfish one.

In "Anna Karenina," Oblonsky and Dolly are a married couple facing challenges due to Oblonsky's infidelity. Dolly struggles to forgive him, but ultimately decides to stay for the sake of their children. Their relationship serves as a contrast to Anna and Vronsky's tumultuous affair.
Where can I find more examples of the style of speech as used in Pride and Prejudice?
In other books by Jane Austen; for instance - Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Persuasion. The language changes a lot during the next 20-30 years, that's one reason why Dickens' style is different. You might also try late 18th century novels such as Fielding's Tom Jones. Some time later you get The Vicar of Wakefield, another classic Romantic novel.

What is the problem in Pride and Prejudice?
The main problem in Pride and Prejudice is the societal expectations and prejudices that prevent the characters, particularly Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, from understanding and appreciating each other's true qualities. These misunderstandings create conflict and obstacles to their potential romantic relationship.
Does Elizabeth Bennet reflect Jane Austen?
I believe she does, to a fairly great extent. Both loved to dance and flirt. Both were bright and thoughtful. I believe Jane Austen may have drawn a lot of her picture of Elizabeth's prejudice from her own life. Both were relatively poor and both rejected marriage to very wealthy men at some point in their lives.
There were a lot of characters in Austen's writing who reflected her own nature and condition. Catherine, in Northanger Abbey, had some of Austen's literary interests, and her imagination might have been a caricature of Austen's own. Elinor and Marianne, in Sense and Sensibility, may have been portraits of different sides of Austen's own psyche; certainly they lived with their mother in a way that was much like the way Austen and her sister, Cassandra, lived with theirs. And many people have commented on the relationship between Austen's lack of money, at some points in her life, and the condition of Miss Bates in Emma. We might suspect there are similarities in attitude, especially about Bath, between Jane Austen and Anne Elliot in Persuasion.
Is there a picture of Jane austen family?
Yes, there are several portraits and illustrations of Jane Austen's family members available online. These images depict various members of her family, including her father, mother, and siblings. You can easily find them by searching for "Jane Austen family portraits" in an online search engine.
How much is nr bingely worth in Pride and Prejudice?
I am assuming you mean to ask how much money he had or made.
Charles Bingley had an income judged to be 5000 pounds a year. This would have indicated a wealth of about 100,000 pounds, from which the income was drawn. To put this into perspective, a common agricultural worker made about 50 pounds per year. The Dashwood girls (in Sense and Sensibility) lived with their mother on 500 pounds per year, and they had two servants. A typical income for an attorney was about 650 pounds per year. An income of 1000 pounds per year gave a person enough wealth to afford a carriage. Bingley was very wealthy, but there were people in the UK of his time who made ten times as much, or more. Darcy, who had twice the income, had an estate said to be ten miles around, possibly 3500 to 4000 acres, which was huge by the standards of the UK.

Jane Austen started work on Pride and Prejudice, under the working title of First Impressions, in 1796. She finished the first draft in 1797. Between that time and 1812, when it was accepted for publication, it may have been worked on, but certainly it was revised before being published in 1813. We do not have any way of knowing how much time the author put into the work.

Pride and Prejudice versus Bridget Jones's Dairy?
there are lots of similarities in pride and prejudice and Bridget Jones diary.
similarities between Lizzy and Bridget are:
- get on well with their dad
- mum wants to marry them off
- embarrassed by mum
- argumentative
- judgemental
- independent
- want to marry for the same reason - love
similarities between the stories:
- mr darcy turns them down
- natasha is similar to Caroline Bingley as they both like Mr Darcy
- darcy and wickham/daniel don't get on well (both times it is wickham/daniels fault)
- wickham/daniel is a womanizer
- natasha/caroline controls darcy
- mum and dad don't get on
hope that helps :)
(i personally think Pride and Prejudice is better but Bridget Jones diary is a good modern interpretation)
Why is the tone of Pride and Prejudice sarcastic?
I think it would be more accurate to say that the tone was ironical. Sarcasm implies contempt, and though Jane Austen may have held some people in contempt, the effect was probably intended to be more one of comedy than contempt.
Jane Austen enjoyed irony, and used it in everything she wrote. It was more blatant and silly in her Juvenalia, where she actually refers to herself as ignorant and prejudiced in the title of a book of history. Her use of irony in Pride and Prejudice is commonly regarded as one of the more endearing things about the novel.
How is the navy presented in Persuasion?
The Navy is a place where a man can prove himself, both as a man of courage, and as a man who can make a fortune. Captain Wentworth has made quite a lot of money in the Navy, has has Admiral Croft. It is a risky business to be in, however, and we get a sense of danger from the facts that Captain Wentworth had seen action numerous times and there were times his first ship nearly sank, Captain Harville was injured, and a boy in the Musgrove family died while in the Navy.
Is there a sequel to Pride and Prejudice?
There are many sequels to Pride and Prejudice, but none written by the original author, Jane Austen.
Examples include Mr. Darcy's Daughters, and Exploits and Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy by Elizabeth Aston; Pemberley: Or Pride and Prejudice Continued and An Unequal Marriage: Or Pride and Prejudice Twenty Years Later by Emma Tennant. Others are The Book of Ruth and Precipitation - A Continuation of Miss Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice by Helen Baker, Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife by Linda Berdoll, and Pemberley Remembered by Mary Simonsen. None of them has anything like the original novel's popularity.

While it's possible to find common themes in literature, such as love, assassination, or unconventional romances, there isn't a specific story that includes all the elements you've mentioned. Each of these elements could come from different narratives altogether.

Rosings is the estate of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. It is portrayed as very large, impressive, and valuable.

It is Lady Catherine's intention that Anne de Bourgh will be married to Darcy, thus uniting the two estates, at least temporarily.

Describe Elizabeths first visit to Rosings How doe she handle Lady Catherine de Bourgh?
She treats Lady Catherine with the respect properly due an older woman with a higher social rank, but without the awe some other people, notably Mr. Collins, seemed to have. She treats Lady Catherine fearlessly, as a person not intellectually or morally superior to herself, a fact that probably irked Lady Catherine at least a bit.
Prejudice didn't end. People still exhibit prejudice today. Prejudice means you are pre- judging someone before you really get to know them.
