Jane Austen

Mrs. Bennet says Lydia should come back and get married, however, Mr. Bennet doesn't what everyone to think down upon them and believes they should get married in London and then come home married so they dont get a bad name.

Elisabeth is appalled and saddened, whereas Jane - who cannot think ill of anybody - hopes they will find something in common. She also tries to convince Lizzie that Charlotte must have some feelings for Collins, otherwise she wouldn't have married him.

It is clear to Elizabeth that Miss Bingley is interested in Darcy. She has ideas about what might attract him to her, and much of what she says and does is aimed at getting him interested. Darcy, however, is unmoved, and responds with indifference bordering on rudeness. Since Elizabeth dislikes both Darcy and Miss Bingley, and since she enjoys observing people who are self important or silly, she finds this amusing.

There is an important point in Pride and Prejudice when Elizabeth is made to investigate her own errors. This happens as she reads and rereads the letter Mr. Darcy has written her. In the course of her review of herself, she realizes she has been prejudiced, that her ability to understand the natures of people was not nearly as good as she thought it was, and that she had lacked justice in her dealings with people. In terms of her relationships, she comes to realize that Mr. Darcy is a much better man than she had thought, and that Wickham was, in fact, a fraud.

In the 1995 film adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, Colonel Brandon was played by Alan Rickman.

Sense and Sensibility had a certain fame among literary people as soon as it was published, in 1811. The fame of the author grew with subsequent novels. Jane Austen was not famous during her lifetime, however, because she published anonymously.

Sense and Sensibility is a book about the Eleanor and Marianne Dashwood, who are sisters; they are the heroines. The book deals with their relationships with men they fall in love with, with the emotional and moral issues their love presents, and with how they deal with those issues.

Extremely romantic, trusting and tender.

Emma

When Elizabeth first meets Mr. Darcy she quickly decides that he is a very proud, ill mannered man. After her first meeting with him she looks for any reason to think ill of him and always assumes the worst because she developed a prejudice against him.

Elizabeth still doesn't like him (she still thinks he's proud and a bad person for taking away Wickham's living) but she can't exactly yell at him or publicly make a scene.

Kitty and Lydia reveal to Lizzy that Wickham is not to marry Mary King after all, and is, therefore, in their words, safe.

Darcy is described as having an income of 10,000 pounds per year. This means his income is twice that of Bingley, and five times that of Mr. Bennet, Lizzy's father. To understand what this means, consider: A typical agricultural worker earned about 50 pounds per year. In Sense and Sensibility, the three Dashwood girls lived with their mother on an income of 500 pounds per year, which was a hardship because they were used to being wealthy, but they did have two servants. A typical attorney earned about 650 pounds per year. About 1000 pounds per year was necessary to have a coach - partly because having a coach implied hiring a driver, a stable hand, and possibly at least one other man to tend the coach.

Mr. Collins marries Charlotte Lucas, Jane and Elizabeth's friend.

Yes. It is part of the Literary Canon.

Pride and Prejudice is full of humor and a romantic approach to falling in love. It portrays the flaws of the social system without much comment beyond acknowledgement that they are there, and it portrays people in a way that is warm hearted without denial of their flaws.

It is gently satirical. It is ironic, but not sarcastic. It portrays certain people as ridiculous, especially Mr. Collins, Caroline Bingley, and Lady Catherine, and it portrays Mr. and Mrs. Bennet as somewhat neglectful and foolish in the ways they raise their daughters. But it also portrays the good sides of some of these same people. For example, the reasons Charlotte marries Mr. Collins seem wrong to Elizabeth, but it is explicitly noted that he is not vicious, is respectable, and can provide for and protect his wife. Mr. Wickham is perhaps the only person who might be described as wicked.

Lizzy, the heroine, is foolish in some of the ways she approaches life, even as she studies the follies of others. Nevertheless, the novel is partly about how she learns she is wrong and what she does about it. Jane, her sister, is kind hearted and perhaps a bit naive, though we suspect she also might have grown in understanding. These are people the readers can appreciate and love, people the readers might wish they could know.

Mr Gardiner goes fishing at Pemberly with Darcy, he'd also read, hunt etc.

Mr. Gardiner was Mrs. Bennet's brother, as very prosperous London tradesman. Mrs. Gardiner spent a very happy part of her childhood in Lambton, a town in Derbyshire near Darcy's estate of Pemberly. The Gardiners invited Elizabeth to go to Derbyshire with them, and it was on this trip that she saw Pemberly, met Darcy again, and discovered she had misjudged his character.

The DVD cover has its rating as PG for brief nudity and mild language. FYI, the nudity was from behind and far away, and only lasted a second or two.

Anna commits suicide by jumping in front of a moving train. This is ironic because she sees the train death in the beginning of the book as a bad omen.

Elizabeth is very surprised to discover Darcy went to Lydia's wedding, enough so that when she found Lydia could not honorably give details, she wrote her aunt Gardiner. I Lizzy's imagination, Darcy would be very unlikely to want to have anything to do with a family that was not only below his station, but blighted with scandal.

Lydia and Wickham go first to Longbourne to visit her family. After the visit, they go to Newcastle, where Wickham is to join a regiment in which he has a commission.
