Pride and Prejudice

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.

Kitty and Lydia excitedly inform their mother, Mrs. Bennet, that Mr. Bingley is planning to host a ball at Netherfield Park. They also mention that Mr. Bingley arrived with his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is considered to be very wealthy and eligible.

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.

Charles Bingley did not visit Jane while she was in London because he did not know she was there

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.

The marriage between Charlotte and Mr. Collins is one of convenience. Despite the fact that Mr. Collins proposes to Charlotte shortly after asking Elizabeth, Charlotte accepts the proposal. It appears that Charlotte agrees because she feels she has no other choice. Most of the community does not see anything wrong with their hasty marriage and it seems to be considered a social norm.

Mr. Collins proposed to Elizabeth Bennett first, but she rejected his proposal. He then proposed to Charlotte Lucas, who accepted him.

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.

Mr Darcy noticed that Mr. Bingley was in love with her, but he did not want him to marry her because her family is not rich, and have no connections. He also claims that part of it was because he thought Jane did not show admiration for Mr. Bingley, and assumed she did not have feelings for him.

Mrs. Bennet was concerned about marrying off her five daughters to wealthy suitors in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." She was particularly worried about finding advantageous matches for them in a society where social status and financial security were paramount.

Elizabeth's reaction to what the housekeeper said about Mr. Darcy is an example of dramatic irony. This is because she is unaware of Mr. Darcy's true feelings, while the readers are aware of them.

This is Jane Bennet. From the moment they first see each other in the book they fall in love and later arrange a marriage.

If your talking about Heroes, The Bennets lived in Odessa Texas for most of the show and then they moved.

Jane Austen portrays a society where there is a high importance on social status and where everyone wants to gain upward social mobility. There is also a set of socially acceptable behaviour and guidelines which people usually follows. Besides, marriage is also an important consideration in everyone's life. News and informations also spread like wildfire within the community.

Because Mr Bennett's estate is entailed upon the next male heir, in this case Mr Collins, a distant cousin. This means that when Mr Bennett dies, his wife and daughters will be left penniless unless the girls can marry wealthy men who can provide for them.

Jane Austen used an ironic and humorous tone in Pride and Prejudice, and she also made great use of syntax, as evidenced by scenes such as Mr. Collins' proposal to Elizabeth. Here, Mr. Collins speaks in long, rambling sentences, while Elizabeth speaks concisely and forcefully. This syntax shows how very different the two of them are.

Words are like Numbers, in that 1, is One, but who would use words as their counterpart when computing mathematical calculations? As Similar, and Exact, are two different Animals, replacing one with the other, when the Exact word is Prejudice, and a Similar word would be by necessity, Similar, but not Exact, if the attempt is to show Prejudice, then Similar to Prejudice, could not be by the necessity of what Prejudice is, refer to Prejudice, but only something Similar, but not exactly Prejudice. Even if the words were used, that Define what Prejudice is composed of to make it what it is, the parts themselves, are only parts, and not the Whole of Prejudice itself. And as many words have similar parts in their definitions, to simply suggest that this one, or that one is similar to Prejudice, does not by any necessity of Definition make those parts Prejudice in themselves. So if Prejudice is the word you need to use, then using "Bias" or "Prejudge mental" would be part of the Definition, but they may also be parts of other definitions not associated with the Actual word "Prejudice" You could be "Bias" towards wearing a pair of slacks that make you look fat, without being Prejudice with regards to Fat people, or you could know your own taste, and not take a bite of blood sausage, without being Prejudice with regards to blood sausage, or those who actually eat it. Now I know someone is going to edit this, and simply add words that are Similar to Prejudice, but once again, Similar and exact are Two Different Animals, you just can't mate the one, with the other, and call it Prejudice.

Jane Bennet

Lady Catherine de Bourgh is Mr. Darcy's aunt in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." Lady Catherine holds a position of power and influence in society and plays a significant role in attempting to control the romantic pursuits of her nephew, Mr. Darcy.

Lydia and George Wickham went to London after they left Brighton.

Prududice-A partiality that prevents objective consideration of an issue or situation. Some people may have sound reson for their predudice, but in my experience it is because they do not know all of the facts of a given situation. There may be jealousy ie A feeling of jealous envy (especially of a rival). Make sure that your reasons are sound, that you do have all of the facts, and remember a little bit of acceptance is far better then a lot of aggravation-Unfriendly behaviour that causes anger or resentment
