Pride and Prejudice Advanced Placement Literature and Composition - Ms. Wright [email protected] Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen (1775-1817) Although Jane Austen was born the year before the Declaration of Independence and lived through the turbulent era of the Napoleonic Wars and the Battle of Waterloo, she enjoyed a quiet life in the English countryside. While caring for her widowed father, a clergyman, she created characters from the comfortable, upper-middle class into which she had been born. Because of her understanding of the foibles of human nature and her ability at satirical observations, the late eighteenth-century/early nineteenth century author distinguished herself as one who set the stage for the realistic English novel while bridging the literary time periods of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. Pride and Prejudice, her best-known work, was published anonymously (“By a Lady”). Set in rural England in the early nineteenth century, the comedy of manners deals with the business of courtship and marriage. Here the characters learn to know themselves by relinquishing that which has kept them from seeing the truth. Since the early nineteenth century, society has changed considerably. Because the idea of the class into which one was born was more respected in Austen’s day than now, fortune and societal rank were formally regarded. Thus, marriage was a social act. As you read and take notes, consider marriage as the major premise of the novel. Also in your notes include Austen’s use of humor through satire and irony. You will want to put page numbers of specific examples for reviewing. *NOTE: I recommend that you view the BBC presentation of the movie (the one starring Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy) before you read the novel. It cannot replace the reading, but it will establish a visual reference for the use of the language, the social customs, the geography, and more that will be unfamiliar to most modern students.

What contrasting qualities does the reader find in Elizabeth and Jane Bennet? Which sister seems more interesting? Why? 4.

Jane Austen has a keen eye and ear for the little signs of ill will and jealousy between people. Point out such signs in these early chapters. 6. In Chapter 6 the reader is given a hint of possible conflict in Darcy. What is this conflict? How do you think it may be resolved from what you already know? 7. How does Austen reveal her sense of humor about people in these early chapters? Give examples. 8. What do you think is Austen’s opinion of the party at Sir William Lucas’s? What is the difference between her attitude and Darcy’s to the people present? 9. How does Miss Bingley’s attitude to Darcy differ from Elizabeth’s? 10. In these early chapters, Austen has given several clues as to the future development of the plot. What do you think these clues are? Chapters 7-12 11.

How does Darcy’s attraction to Elizabeth affect the reader’s opinion of him? Why? 17. Near the end of Chapter 11, Elizabeth says: “…Follies and nonsense, whims and inconstancies do divert me, I own, as I laugh at them whenever I can.” Show specifically how this is Austen’s own point of view in these chapters. 18. Very little happens during Elizabeth’s visit to Netherfield. In fact, it can be considered quite dull in terms of outward occurrences. Why then, are these chapters interesting and lively? Chapters 13-18 19. In Chapter 13, the threatening entailment subplot hinted at in Chapter 7 assumes flesh and blood in the person of Mr. William Collins. Why is this threat particularly effective?

From Mr. Collins’ description, what is your impression of Lady Catherine de Bourgh? Would you trust his description of her? Why? 22.

When Elizabeth and Darcy meet at the Netherfield ball, what confirms her belief in Mr. Wickham’s story? What questions might you have asked Darcy if you were Elizabeth? 25. Why is Elizabeth humiliated at the supper table? How does Mary add to the humiliation? Why do you think Austen included these incidents? 26. In what way does the author show that people at the Netherfield ball are self-centered and unaware of their effect on other people? 27. Can you explain why Elizabeth might have been Mrs. Bennet’s least favorite child? Chapters 19-24 28. Why is Mr. Collins unable to believe Elizabeth when she refuses his offer of marriage? What criticism of men is implied here? What are the “rules” about proposals and rejections? What are the prospects of the Bennet family that result from Elizabeth’s decision? 29.

  • Sanditon Scripted by Emmy® Award Winner Andrew Davies Premiering on MASTERPIECE on PBS January 12, 2020
    Jane Austen’s Final Unfinished Work—Finished! Sanditon Scripted by Emmy® Award Winner Andrew Davies Premiering on MASTERPIECE on PBS January 12, 2020 Jane Austen was chronically ill with a mysterious disease in early 1817, when she turned her thoughts to a happier subject. She started work on a witty and delightful novel set in a seaside town. She never finished it. Now, noted screenwriter Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Les Misérables, Primetime Emmy® winner for Little Dorrit) picks up Austen’s plot and takes it in a glorious and satisfying direction, on Sanditon. Produced by Red Planet Pictures, the eight-hour series will premiere on MASTERPIECE on PBS on Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 9pm ET. MASTERPIECE’s bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen’s final work stars Rose Williams (Curfew) as Austen’s lively but levelheaded heroine, Charlotte Heywood; Theo James (Divergent) as the humorous, charming (and slightly wild!) Sidney Parker; Anne Reid (Years and Years) as the forthright grande dame of Sanditon, Lady Denham; Kris Marshall (Love Actually) as Sanditon’s compulsively enterprising promoter, Tom Parker; and Crystal Clarke (Ordeal by Innocence) as the mysterious West Indian heiress, Miss Lambe. Also appearing are Kate Ashfield (Secrets and Lies) as Tom’s stalwart spouse, Mary; Jack Fox (Riviera) as the fortune hunter Sir Edward Denham; Charlotte Spencer (Watership Down) as Sir Edward’s scheming sister, Esther; and Lily Sacofsky (Bancroft) as the enigmatic and elegant Clara Brereton. With four acclaimed Austen adaptations to his credit (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey and Emma), plus the Pride and Prejudice modernization Bridget Jones’s Diary, Andrew Davies is no stranger to Jane Austen’s story strategies— which makes him the perfect candidate to channel the creative spirit of one of the world’s most amusing and penetrating novelists.

  • Multi-Dimensional Feminism: Elizabeth Bennet and the Representation of Women in the Media
    Eliana Berger [email protected] Multi-Dimensional Feminism: Elizabeth Bennet and the Representation of Women in the Media Depictions of women in the media have historically been less representative of actual people than of idealized, single-faceted characters. Women on television and in books are too often defined by a single trait or belief; they are either beautiful or ugly, foolish or intelligent, strong or weak, inspirational or malevolent. Seldom are women depicted as complex people with conflicting thoughts and feelings wholly their own. Understanding this, one can perceive the importance of Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. She was a strong – though faulted – female character who understood and advocated for her values, undermining contemporary stereotypes with her outspokenness. Elizabeth’s world is typical of middle-class Caucasian families of the 1790s, when the book was originally written. She and the other women in the story are defined and confined by romantic-era, cult of sensibility stereotypes: women are frail, hypersensitive creatures whose only worth is in their marriage prospects. Her mother is prone to fainting. All of Elizabeth’s sisters are encouraged to find men to marry as soon as possible to secure themselves futures. However, Austen breaks with this conventional image in how she portrays Elizabeth. Elizabeth Bennet, by the end of the novel, is a fully-formed human being with feminist opinions on the world around her and the intelligence to back them up with. She is just as much a complex human as any of the men in the story, in spite of being a woman.

  • Lady Catherine De Bourgh and Mrs. Elton in the Character of Emma Woodhouse
    Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mrs. Elton in the Character of Emma Woodhouse SARAH CROFI 213 Andrews Hall, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68588-0333 Jane Austen's words: "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like" (Austen-Leigh 157) have created a bias in the way critics read and react to the character of Emma Woodhouse. How should a reader approach a character who has already been judged, and found wanting by her creator? The tendency in recent criticism is to say Austen was wrong-most readers do like Emma. Whether this is true is, perhaps, not as important as what is com- monly taken for granted as the probable reasons Austen thought Emma would not be liked: she is vain, self-centered, careless of the feelings of others, and a snob. I would like to suggest that Emma's flaws are a composite of undesirable qualities found in unsympathetic characters in both Emma and Pride and Prejudice. While it is easy to identify and condemn the unpleasant traits of a Mrs. Elton or a Lady Catherine de Bourgh, it is more disconcerting to find those same traits in a heroine, like Emma. Although her virtues and moral growth justify the novel's happy ending, on the way to that ending Emma Woodhouse exhibits more faults and more resistance to change than any other of Austen's heroines. The need for growth in Emma's character is related to two issues. The first is self-perception; in order to become a worthwhile person, Emma must leam about herself.

Apper 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 Transplants' 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.

  • I the IDEA of the HERO in JANE AUSTEN's PRIDE AND
    THE IDEA OF THE HERO IN JANE AUSTEN’S PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Name: Lindsay Juanita van Rensburg Student number: 2405219 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Magister Artium in the Department of English, University of the Western Cape. Submission date: 2 December 2015 Supervisor: Cheryl-Ann Michael i KEYWORDS: Hero Characterisation Heroine Novel Narration Masculinity Free indirect discourse Epistolary Austen Romance ii ABSTRACT: The Idea Of The Hero In Jane Austen’s Pride And Prejudice LJ van Rensburg MA Thesis, Department of English, University of the Western Cape In this thesis I focus on the ways I believe Jane Austen re-imagines the idea of the hero. In popular fiction of her time, such as Samuel Richardson’s Sir Charles Grandison (1753), what we had as a hero figure served as a male monitor, to guide and instruct the female heroine. The hero begins the novel fully formed, and therefore does not go through significant development through the course of the novel. In addition to Sir Charles Grandison, I read two popular novels of Austen’s time, Fanny Burney’s Cecilia and Maria Edgeworth’s Belinda. An examination of Burney’s construction of Delvile and Edgeworth’s construction of Clarence Hervey allows me to engage with popular conceptions of the ideal hero of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Burney and Edgeworth deviate from these ideals in order to accommodate conventions of the new Realist novel. I argue that Austen re- imagines her male protagonist so that hero and heroine are well-matched and discuss, similarly, how Burney and Edgeworth create heroes as a complement to their heroines.

  • 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.

There is an "Austen industry" of fan fiction, graphic novels, movies, BBC specials, and Austen ephemera.
