Who is owner of Hunsford in Pride and Prejudice?
We are not told explicitly who owns Hunsford. We do know several things about it, and from these we can guess the owner.
Hunsford is where Mr. Collins lives at the parsonage. Hunsford also is the place where his parish is. Hunsford is, therefore, not an estate, but a village.
We know that Mr. Collins has been given his position by his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. The parsonage is very close to Rosings Park, where she lives. This makes it pretty clear that Lady Catherine actually owns the village of Hunsford, which would give her the right to choose its parson.
This sort of ownership of a village was common in England, and is also seen elsewhere in the novel. The parish Mr. Wickham would have been given at Pemberly was one of the villages on that estate. When Mr. Bennet says officers will not even be allowed through the village, he is talking about a decision he is allowed to make as owner of the village of Longbourn. His residence is referred to as Longbourn, but it is properly Longbourn Park.
well.. yes i know, its the truth he is a pedo.. infact he is married with Ronald McDonald (that pedophile guy at maccas)..
its quiet scary to tell you the truth:S

How did elizabeth learn about the details of Lydia and george wickhams marriage?
Mrs. Gardiner sent Elizabeth the details in a letter.
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.
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.

Love, nature, seasons, or emotions are all good topics for a quatrain poem. You could also explore themes like beauty, relationships, dreams, or personal experiences. Choose a topic that resonates with you and allows you to express your thoughts and feelings creatively in four-line stanzas.
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.
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.

(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.
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.
Ideas for a text transformation of Pride and Prejudice?
One idea could be to modernize the story by setting it in a contemporary urban setting and updating the language and social norms to reflect current times. Another idea could be to retell the story from the perspective of a different character, offering a new viewpoint on the events and relationships in the original novel. Alternatively, a gender-swapped version could explore how the story might unfold with the gender roles reversed.
Who walks to Meryton in Pride and Prejudice?

Which bennet sister did mr. Collins first propose to?

What is Rosings in Pride and Prejudice?
Rosings is the estate of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. It is portrayed as very large, impressive, and valuable. It will be inherited by Anne de Bourgh, because it is not entailed and can, as a result, be passed to a female heir. It is Lady Catherine's intention that Anne de Bourgh will be married to Darcy, thus uniting the two estates, at least temporarily.
Quote needed please In the novel Pride and Prejudice does anyone approve or like Mr Collins?
In "Pride and Prejudice," Mr. Collins is neither liked nor approved of by many characters. He is seen as obsequious, self-important, and lacking in social graces. Mrs. Bennet is one of the few characters who approves of him due to his inheritance of the Bennet estate.
What have you learned from your marriages?
I've only had one marriage so far, but I've learned that both members of the marriage need to participate at all times. Before you have children or a lot of time goes by, marriages are all about the romance and fun as a couple. As daily life takes up more and more of your time, you rely on your partner to be thinking and acting for the good of the family, even when you're not around. This is a good relationship. When you're with your best friend and it's you two (and children if you have them) vs the rest of the world.
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.
