It was too early in the morning for visitors, and besides, the equipage 1 did not answer to that of any of their neighbors. The horses were post; and neither the carriage, nor the liv - ery of the servant who preceded it, were familiar to them. As it was certain, however, that somebody was coming, Bingley instantly prevailed on Miss Bennet to avoid the confinement of such an intrusion, and walk away with him into the shrubbery.

  • 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.

    Chen 1 Sunny Chen Ms. Wilson AP English Literature and Composition 16 February, 2014 AP Open Question Essay #1: Pride and Prejudice 1976. The conflict created when the will of an individual opposes the will of the majority is the recurring theme of many novels, plays, and essays. Select the work of an essayist who is in opposition to his or her society; or from a work of recognized literary merit, select a fictional character who is in opposition to his or her society. In a critical essay, analyze the conflict and discuss the moral and ethical implications for both the individual and the society. Do not summarize the plot or action of the work you choose. Authors often explore the restrictions of society during their time and the effects they have on their protagonists. Often this requires the characters to go against the rules of society, such as the case of Elizabeth Bennet, the heroine of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Her story is set in the Regency era, a time where appearances—dress, etiquette, relationships, money —meant everything in life, especially for women. Through Elizabeth’s actions, relationships, and interactions with other characters, Austen projects her voice and opinions against such social restrictions. However, she does not argue for the complete breakdown of standard regulations, but rather for a balance between individual and society. Elizabeth exhibits a mental strength that differentiates her from the other women in the story; her revolutionary characteristics are her indirect opposition against society. Despite such opposition, Austen approves of her decisions through her ultimate finding of happiness at the end of the story, implying that her actions are justified against society’s wrongs against women.

  • 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.

Austen chose her language carefully, so much so that her words and phrases often carry a lot of freight, sometimes overtly, but more often subtly.

(December 2006) Amanda E. Himes, B.A., East Texas Baptist University; M.A., Baylor University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Mary Ann O’Farrell Comfort—with its various connotations of physical ease, wealth, independence, and service—is an important concept to Jane Austen, who uses comfort in her novels to both affirm and challenge accepted women’s roles and status in her culture. In the late eighteenth century, new ideas of physical comfort emerged out of luxury along with a growing middle class, to become something both English people and foreigners identified with English culture. The perceived ability of the English to comfort well gave them a reason for national pride during a time of great anxieties about France’s cultural and military might, and Austen participates in her culture’s struggle to define itself against France.

An Analysis on the Plot of Jane Austens Novel “Pride and Prejudice”. Lingua, 13(1):127-142. AN ANALYSIS ON THE PLOT OF JANE AUSTENS NOVEL “PRIDE AND PREJUDICE” Arbain Universitas Widya Gama Mahakam, Samarinda Email: [email protected] Abstract: This study reports an analysis of the plot used in the novel written by Jane Austens, Pride and Prejudice. Using qualitative approach that focused on content analysis, this study presents three kinds of findings. Respectively, the findings are: (1) conflict on which the plot turns, (2) chief episodes or incidents that make up the plot, and (3) plot in terms of its exposition, complication, crisis/climax, falling action and denouement. Conflicts in the novel are nicely to read and the development of the conflicts is smooth. Resolution is given in a direct way. Chief episodes that built up the conflict consist of 15 events from which the ending of the conflicts are easily to guess but nicely to follow. Finally, plots that make up the story concise, smooth, and interesting are supported using simple dialogues, conversations, and plausible resolution. Keywords: plot, conflict, resolution, Jane Austens. NOVEL is relatively long fictional prose narrative with a more or less complex plot or pattern or events, about human beings, their feelings, thought, action (Webster's New Words Dictionary (1991:929).
