Jane Austen

Darcy's claim was that he separated them because he saw Bingley had a partiality for Jane unlike any Darcy had seen in him before but he did not detect in her any symptom of peculiar regard. Interpreted a bit for the modern person, this means that he was afraid Jane really did not love Bingley, and wanted to separate the two before Bingley was so deeply in love that he would be hurt. Marrying a woman who really did not care about him would certainly have been worse than unrequited love, but either was to be avoided.

Following this assertion, Darcy talked of the family's want of connection, the situation of Mrs. Bennet's family, the want of propriety betrayed by both parents and all three of the younger sisters. He asserted that any connection with such a family would have been most unhappy.

Georgiana did not elope with Wickham. She intended to elope, but her plans were discovered accidentally before she could do it. Her reason for wanting to elope was that she loved him and clearly was talked into deciding to do it by Wickham, possibly with a little help from Mrs. Younge.

Wickham is a fortune hunter, a man who is looking for a woman who can supply him with money. Elizabeth cannot provide this, so he has to look elsewhere.

He is attracted to Elizabeth at least partly, we would believe, because Elizabeth is a pretty, lively, and intelligent young woman. The problem he has with her is that she has very little money, so she is not a suitable match. Still, being friendly with her has the advantage of giving him greater access to society.

He quickly attaches himself to Mary King. She is a possible mate because she has ten thousand pounds. This is enough money to provide a living, though not enough for him to afford a carriage.

Elizabeth finds out in the middle of the novel that Wickham has tried to elope with Mr. Darcy's sister, Georgiana, who has a fortune of thirty thousand pounds. Subsequent conversations between her and Wickham reveal more and more of what she knows of him. This causes him to become more and more separated form her.

When his affair with Lydia has gone through the elopement and marriage, and Wickham and Elizabeth are brought together once more, it becomes obvious to him that she knows all about him, and he seems no longer interested in talking with her. His elopement had been done, the book says, without any intention of marriage. Clearly, his intention was to leave Lydia and find someone like Mary King, with money, but the price was paid by Darcy for him to marry Lydia.

Ummm I am not sure it could be any chapter. His feelings were not revealed to the readers. We don't know how far back his love went!

Darcy to elizabeth= prejudice, poor, inferiority, lack of connections, and family besides her and Jane being improper, uncivility, doubt i got them all

elizabeth to darcy= too much pride, selfish, being in Jane/bingleys relationship too much, inflicted poverty upon wickham, arrogance, conceit, selfish disdain, and others probably, i doubt i got them all

Mrs. Gardiner is concerned that Elizabeth might fall in love with Wickham because neither has any money, and neither have any great inheritance coming. The result of this is if they married, they would have to live on Wickham's income from the army, which would probably not be very great. The result would be that they would have to live much more frugally than Elizabeth had ever done.

The governess was a Mrs. Younge, who happened to be a friend of Wickham.

Elizabeth learns that Mr. Darcy isn't as cold-hearted and prejudiced as she, and most everyone else, believed he was.

These are two different Jane Austen novels we're talking about: Pride and Prejudice - Mr Darcy is proud; Elizabeth Bennet is prejudiced. Sense and Sensibility - Eleanor Dashwood has sense; Marianne Dashwood has sensibility.

She and Wickham had been living together in London. If they returned home unmarried it would be a disgrace.

Pride and Prejudice presents several different types of women.

Lizzy, the main character, is a smart girl who refuses to marry for money.

Pride and Prejudice presents the main character as an independent woman who makes her own decisions.

Yes why not. Only manly men/boys can handle romantic movies.

Although clearly much of the blame lies with Lydia (her flight and indecorous attitude are her own!) and Wickham (his own lack of thought and morals) some people, and characters in the books believe that much of the blame lies elsewhere.

Mr Bennet's lack of interest in his daughters life alongside the lack of discipline shown by both parents is a strong indication that Lydia was given a free hand to form her own personality and morals without any guidance from him. Combined with Mrs Bennet's own behaviour, it is clear that Lydia and her mother are very similar in some ways, and that Lydia was rarely constrained and made to consider the bigger picture or taught to think about the consequences of her attitude- even with Kitty, her own favourite sister, she is uncaring and always puts her own happiness first.

According to Mrs Jennings, Colonel Brandon's income is around two thousand pounds per year.

Mr Darcy because his character is soo misunderstood and only Elizabeth brings out the good in him.

Charles Bingley

Wickham is after her money. Miss King is the only available woman in Meryton who has any money. She has just inherited 10,000 pounds.

He owed a large sum of money due to gambling losses.

i know that it is 35 different languages, but i havent found out what they all are.

Their deep divisions could lead to violence.

The narrator in "Pride and Prejudice" portrays marriage as a complex social institution influenced by personal feelings, social status, and societal expectations. The characters navigate through challenges, misunderstandings, and societal pressures in their pursuit of happiness and love, which highlights the narrator's view of marriage as a nuanced and dynamic aspect of life.

Jane Bennet is not typically portrayed as unhappy in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." She is depicted as kind, gentle, and optimistic, with a positive outlook on life. However, one could argue that Jane's initial unhappiness stems from her unrequited love for Mr. Bingley, as she struggles with his apparent lack of interest in her.

In "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen, the characters enjoy sweets as a form of indulgence and pleasure in a society where strict social norms and etiquette often govern their behavior. Sweets can signify a moment of escapism or a small act of rebellion against the constraints of their society. Additionally, the consumption of sweets may symbolize luxury and refinement, reflecting the characters' desire for comfort and elegance in their lives.

Greg Wise played John Willoughby in the 1995 movie of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. The film stars Emma Thompson as Elinor Dashwood, Kate Winslet as Marianne Dashwood, Hugh Grant as Edward Ferrars, and Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon.
