prejudice comment about Darcy and Elizabeth?s
relationship. The two of them had to overcome many
roadblocks to end up happy and together. Elizabeth?s
pride made her judge Darcy on a first impression and
keep that impression. Darcy has a prejudice against
Elizabeth because of her status which isn?t as
superior as his. This shields him from actually
getting to know her.
13. Creativity:
Style:
This book is written in a comedic sense. It?s very
witty if you can pick up the wit. It?s a fun book.
Choice of Words:
Because this book was written sometime between 1796 and
1813, the language is different from what it is today.
Jane Austen also was very educated and the vocabulary
is somewhat difficult to understand. Once I looked up
the words, it all made sense and was written very well.
Description:
If you could follow the script of the book with the
difference in language, things were described very
vividly.
Conversation:
The conversational sections of the book were sometimes
hard to follow because there were pages of conversation
written without a hint of who was speaking. You would
have to go back to where the two people first started
conversing and figure it out from there.
Mood(feelings):
The feelings of the characters were not described as
fully as they were needed to be. Elizabeth?s feelings
were vivid, being as it was her point of view, but the
rest weren?t as much obvious at all.
Setting:
I like that the book was set in England during the time
where society was top priority to the people. Image was
everything. It makes them seem very important when
the events taking place in their lives are so elegant.
But it?s really all just for the image. Even if they?re
not important, they have to uphold that image.
Characters:
Every character in this book has a completely different
personality from another(with the exception of Jane and
Bingley). It has to be hard to create personalities so
opposite each other so that they clash or mesh well.
Each personality has some purpose to the story, too.
If Mrs. Bennet hadn?t been so focused on getting her
daughters married well, the story wouldn?t have been as
great as it was.
Plot-conflict, values, situation:
Society played a big role in the plot, and there were so
many conflicts between people. They all centered
around relationships. Image is the most valued
possession to the characters in the book. Every event
that took place had some concern about their image.
The girls all expected to know how to play the piano,and sing, and have many other outstanding talents sothat they?re worth something as a wife or as a daughter. Family values were definitely not a big issue. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet quite obviously don?t have love for each
other. They stayed together for security. They put their money together so they could secure their future. Mrs. Bennet attempted to force her daughters to marry for security.
