Mrs. Bennet’s priority in life was to have her daughters married. On page 3 of Pride and Prejudice, Austen describes Mrs. Bennet; “The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.” One example of Mrs. Bennet demonstrating this priority was when she manufactured the situation where her eldest daughter, Jane was forced to spend the night at Mr. Bingley’s home, in hopes that they may grow closer to one another. Mrs. Bennet may love gossip, but her main motivation in life is having her five daughters set up with husbands. *** Once a week you will be submitting a section of your Pride and Prejudice project via TurnItIn.

  • APPENDIX Elizabeth Bennet Was a Girl Who Comes from a Middle-Class
    115 APPENDIX Appendix 1. Synopsis of J Pride and Prejudice (1813) Elizabeth Bennet was a girl who comes from a middle-class family. She was one of Bennet’s daughters. Actually, the Bennet had five unmarried daughters, namely Jane Bennet, Elizabeth Bennet, Lydia Bennet, Mary Bennet, and Catherine Bennet. Unfortunately, the Bennets did not have a son who would inherit their wealth and Longbourn. Regrettably, when Mr. Bennet died the Longbourn would become the property of his closest male relative, namely Mr. Collins. The only source of income was Mrs. Bennet’s legacy but it was not possible to meet all of the Bennet sisters’ needs. The Bennet social class did not allow them to do work, such as trading, servants, etc. Mr. Bennet just stayed at home or they often attend balls. Therefore, Mrs. Bennet tried to ensure that her daughter lived a decent life after the death of their father, which was by finding her five unmarried daughters a respectable husband. Elizabeth or Lizzy was her father's favorite daughter who had the intelligence, determination, and courage that distinguished her from the other Bennet’s sisters. Mrs. Bennet tended to be competitive in finding her daughter a husband. When she heard that Netherfield had been bought by a wealthy young man from north of England, namely Mr. Bingley, she asked her husband to visit their new neighbor and hoped to introduce her five daughters. During a ball held at Meryton, Mr. Bingley was attracted by Jane's charm. Apparently, Mr. Bingley did not come alone; he brought his best friend named Mr.

  • The Entailment in Jane Austen's Pride
    A FUNHOUSE MIRROR OF LAW: THE ENTAILMENT IN JANE AUSTEN’S PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Peter A. Appel* I. INTRODUCTION The relationship between a society and its law is inexact. Despite repeated claims that law mirrors societal norms and values, no scholar has punctured that balloon of an idea better than Alan Watson. In his groundbreaking Legal Transplants1 and many subsequent works, Alan has demonstrated the many disjunctures between law and society.2 Alan has devoted a large part of his impressive corpus of scholarship on legal development to expand on this idea, and he has convincingly demonstrated that legal development often occurs through borrowing and accident as much as deliberate societal decision. For example, Alan has painstakingly traced how the dictates and opinions of the ancient Roman jurists, who were pagans, were incorporated into Justinian’s Digest, which was produced by a committee at the direction of a Christian emperor living in Byzantium.3 Roman law, and particularly the Digest, in turn, was later rediscovered and became the most influential source of law for continental Europe.4 In a more contemporary example, Alan has shown how the civil code for Turkey— which by that point had become a secular country with a largely Islamic * Alex W. Smith Professor, University of Georgia School of Law. This Essay is based on remarks given several years ago at the Law and Literature Society of Australia. I have continued to talk to people about the ideas that are now embodied in this Essay. For their extremely helpful and insightful remarks on this project throughout the years, I would like to thank the following: Marilyn Butler, John Cairns, Anne Fernald, Kristen Fresonke, Harriet Kriegel, and Leonard Kriegel.

  • Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen's Locality
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 3, Issue 8, August 2015, PP 28-36 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) www.arcjournals.org The Topography of England and "Englishness" in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice Shokhan Rasool Ahmed Faculty of Humanities - School of Languages - English Department University of Sulaimani, Sulaimani- Kurdistan/Iraq [email protected] Abstract: Place and identity are interlinked and location influences social interactions in terms of class variations, the marriage market and social and personal identity. In literature place represents the topography of an area in relation to the identity of people who live there. Jane Austen’s novels can be seen as novels of manner, domestic or provincial because they represent the manners of the rural life in English family in eighteenth century. They also represent the relationships of English people in association with the place where they are. Austen uses places, many of them real, in Pride and Prejudice to create believable characters. The real places depicted are counties such as: Kent, Derbyshire, Hertfordshire and Sussex; towns such as Brighton and also local places of interest such as Dove Dale, Chatsworth and the Peak. However, the imaginary ones are towns, villages, estates and resorts in these counties such as: Meryton, Pemberley, Lambton, Kympton, Stoke, Haye-Park, Longbourn, Lucas Lodge, Ramsgate and others. Austen specifically represents rural English topography through the relationship between the English aristocracy and traditional family. Place in Pride and Prejudice mirrors the social interactions of rural English family in the eighteenth century and their manners where they live.

  • Introduction We Seem to Accept That Certain Things Can Be Reproduced for Example, Furniture
    Introduction We seem to accept that certain things can be reproduced for example, furniture. We might see ‘Genuine Georgian reproduction’ in a furniture shop and we will accept this reproduction. Art galleries sell reproductions of paintings for us to hang on our walls, paintings of which we may never have seen the ‘original’. Indeed the original might be disappointing after only ever having seen the reproduction for many years. It seems inevitable that when a film director makes a film whose source is a novel or a play the critics instantly make a comparison with the original, commenting on what has been left out and what has been changed. What should be asked, however, is why certain things have been left out, why changes have been made and do these alterations to the ‘original’ text actually interfere with our understanding of the original and the new text – the film. Task Try to come up with definitions of the two words ‘adaptation’ and ‘reproduction’. How does each relate to the idea of an ‘original’? When you have done this let’s complicate matters a little by putting in three other words: ‘based on’, ‘inspired by’ and ‘replica’. How do these fit into this pattern? You might also like to consider what we mean by the word ‘original’. ©Film Education 2004 1 Adapting a text Bride & Prejudice is based on Jane Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice; however, it is not a straightforward ‘adaptation’. We could say that there are three different types of filmic adaptations of novels and plays: 1. transposition – where the novel is directly given on screen 2.
