Though not zn the least "impudent and mannish grown," she !tas no mere sensi­ bility, no nasty niceness about Iter. Tlze form of passion common and likely to seem natural in Miss Austen's day was so invariably connected with tlze display of one or the other, or bot/z of these qualities, that she has not made Eliza­ beth outwardly passionate. But I, at least, lzave not the slightest doubt that she would have married Dm'cy just as willingly without Pemberley as with it, and anybody who can read between lines will not find the lovers' conversations in the final chapters so frigid as they might have looked to the Della Cruscans of their own day, and perhaps do !oolc to t/ze Della Cruscans of this. And, after all, what is the good of seeking for the reason of c/zamz ?-it is there. There were better sense in the sad mechanic exercise of determining the reason of its absence where it is not. In the novels of tlze last hundred years there a1'e vast numbers of young ladies with whom it mig!tt be a pleasure to fall in love/ there are at least five wit!t whom, as it seems to me, no man of taste and spirit can help doing so. Their names are, in chronological order, Elizabeth Bennet, Diana Vernon, A rgemone Lavington, Beatrix Esmond, and Barbara Grant. I should have been most in love with Beatrix and Argemone / I should, I tlzink, for mere occasional companionship, have preferred Diana and Barbara. But to live with and to marry, I do not know t/zat any one of the four can come into competition with Elizabeth. GEORGE SA!NTSBURY. f3s+- ocf cf(('uJtra'tionJ'.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first enter­ ing a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" B CHAPTER II. BENNET was among the ear­ liest of those who waited on Mr. Bingley. He had always intended to visit him, though to the last always assuring his wife that he should not go ; and till the evening after the visit was paid she had no know­ ledge of it. It was then disclosed in the following manner. Observing his second daughter employed in trimming a hat, he suddenly addressed her with,- " I hope Mr. Bingley will like it, Lizzy." "We are not in a way to know wltat Mr. Bingley likes," said her mother, resentfully, "since we are not to visit." [Copyright 18g4 by Gtor!fe Allen.] CHAPTER IX. LIZABETH passed the chief of the night in her sister's room, and in the morning had the pleasure of being able to send a tolerable answer to the inquiries which she very early received from Mr. Bingley by a housemaid, and some time after­ wards from the two elegant ladies who waited on his sisters. In spite of this ame!'dment, CHAPTER XII. N consequence of an agreement between the sisters, Elizabeth wrote the next morning to her mother, to beg that the carriage might be sent for them in the course of the day. But Mrs. Bennet, who had calculated on her daughters remaining at Netherfield till the following Tuesday, which would exactly finish Jane's week, could not bring herself to receive them with pleasure before. Her answer, therefore, was not propitious, at least not to Elizabeth's wishes, for she was impatient to get home. Mrs. Bennet sent them word that they could not possibly have the carriage before Tuesday; and in her postscript it was added, that if Mr. Bingley and his sister pressed them to stay longer, she could spare them very well. Against staying longer, however, Elizabeth was positively CHAPTER XXXII. LIZABETH was sitting by herself the next _,~::=::-' morning, and writing to Jane, while Mrs. Collins and Maria were gone on business into the village, when she was startled by a ring at the door, the certain signal of a visitor. As she had heard no carriage, she thought it not unlikely to be Lady Catherine; and under that apprehension was putting .

  • 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.

  • Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion
    RTN_C01.qxd 6/22/07 2:04 PM Page 13 Chapter 1 Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion Jane Austen is an author readers think they know. At least one reader of Austen has described heaven as a place where you would habitually engage in con- versation with her. There are Austen societies in England and in the United States. Some readers concern themselves with every detail of her novels and their social settings, down to the cut of dresses and the recipes for the food consumed in them. There is indeed a name for such people, “Janeites.” Henry James objected to all this, writing disparagingly of those who, for commercial gain, in his view distorted her actual (and considerable) achievement by invit- ing readers to think of her as “their ‘dear,’ our dear, everybody’s dear, Jane.”1 Rudyard Kipling, by contrast, wrote a story celebrating a particular group of Janeites – a group of World War I soldiers who kept their sanity intact by engag- ing in an elaborate ritual of giving the military objects around them names drawn from the persons and places depicted in “Jane’s” novels, and testing each other on their details. The palpable realities of her world, its men and women and settings, were apparently sufficient to ward off the horrific realities of trench warfare, if anything could. The idea that novels contain real people and are told to us directly by their authors is one that teachers of the novel often find themselves combating – usually for good reasons. Readers who think of characters as if they were real people living in the real world have a way of remaking those characters according to the logic of the familiar world they themselves inhabit, which can be a way of short-circuiting a more difficult but in the end more rewarding kind of reading that takes into account historical, cultural, and ideological differences between the present and the past, and is alive to the novelist’s craft.

  • Reconciling Morality and Judgment in Pride and Prejudice Micaela
    MacDougall: Reconciling Morality and Judgment in Pride and Prejudice 1 Reconciling Morality and JudgmentPride in and Prejudice Micaela MacDougall, St. John’s College, Annapolis One of the major themes of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the relationship between moral goodness and good judgment, particularly insofar as human beings use A these faculties to relate to other people.1 This theme is first indicated by the title of the novel. Pride is a moral fault, that of centering on oneself and not considering others. Prejudice, by contrast, is a fault of judgment: a hasty judgment made before one fully considers the whole of the situation (a pre-judgment). Thus, the title focuses the reader on these two faults and implicitly raises the question of the relationship between morality and judgment. How are these faults related? What does their relationship show about the relationship between the moral faculty and the faculty of judgment? One could easily think of them as opposed to each other; accurate judgment leads one to see others’ deficiencies and to have less goodwill towards them. But is there a way in which it is possible for moral goodness and good judgment to complement each other, since they are both inherent human faculties? In order to explore these questions, this paper will begin by examining morality and judgment separately. This may be done by looking at the characters of Jane and Mr. Bennet. Jane is very good morally, but does not judge others; her character thus exemplifies the moral faculty. Mr. Bennet loves to judge others, but refuses to interact 1 As it is a story of the interactions between people, and especially a story of love and marriage, it is unfitting to usePride and Prejudice to consider these faculties abstractly; that is, we are not here exploring how morality might relate a single human to some theoretical natural law, or how judgment might relate a single human to certain philosophical truths, but how multiple humans might relate to each other by means of morality and judgment.

  • The Pride and Prejudice of the Characters in Jane Austen’S Novel
    1 The Pride and Prejudice of the Characters in Jane Austen’s Novel Pride and Prejudice Katarina Andersson C essay Department of Languages and Literatures University of Gothenburg Fall 2011 Supervisor: Margrét Gunnarsdóttir Champion 2 Abstract In this essay, I will discuss the terms “pride” and “prejudice” and how they are conveyed in Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. I claim that the title of the book describes the flaws of almost every character in the book, and not just the protagonists Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy. I will first examine how these flaws show themselves in Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, and how they are not present in Jane Bennet and Mr Bingley, so as to be able to know what to look for in other characters, and compare them to the protagonists. I will then discuss the relation between the terms “pride” and “prejudice”, and also the role of the community as a whole. To support and enforce my discussion and my argument I will use books and articles by other writers who have analyzed Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, the terms “pride” and “prejudice” and different characters and phenomena in it.

  • Sense and Sensibility Discussion Questions
    Sense and Sensibility Discussion Questions 1. In this novel Austen parodies the 18th-century cult of sensibility, which valued strong emotions over reason and intellect. Consider the significance of the novel’s title. How are the qualities of sense and sensibility represented in the main characters? 2. Discuss the entailment of Norland, the Dashwood estate. Could the Dashwood sisters’ father have done more to provide for the future of his wife and daughters? 3. How does John Dashwood fulfill the promise to his father to “take care” of his half-sisters and stepmother? How is he influenced? 4. Who is the heroine of the novel? Is Elinor too good to be true, too perfect? Is Marianne too flawed to be the heroine? 5. Although Elinor Dashwood is not a first-person narrator, most of the story is told through her eyes and thoughts. Do you think Austen agrees with Elinor’s viewpoint? 6. What is your opinion of Marianne at the beginning and then at the end of the novel? 7. What qualities does Marianne find appealing in Willoughby? Compare Marianne’s initial impression of Colonel Brandon. 8. Austen’s parody of the cult of sensibility is primarily embodied in Marianne. What mistakes does Marianne make in being guided by the tenets of sensibility? How does it affect her judgment of Elinor? 9. How and why does Marianne become ill? In the end, does Marianne examine her own conduct? Does she grow as a character to become self-aware? 10. How did you feel about Willoughby when he first entered the novel? What clues does Austen provide about his character? Is his apology to Elinor at the end of the book believable? Do you feel sorry for him? Should Elinor have told her sister what he said? 11.

  • Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility
    SUMMARY －139－ Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility KITAWAKI Tokuko Sense and Sensibility was Jane Austen’s first novel published in 1811. Its first manuscript was entitled Elinor and Marianne, which was written as the story of two sisters in 1795. This story was rewritten twice in the sixteen years before its publication. Sense and Sensibility is regarded as a debate or a dialogue. Elinor Dashwood is a symbol of sense and Marianne Dashwood is that of sensibility. Jane Austen tried to let sense and sensibility have a dialogue through this novel. In the end of the story we are able to deepen our understand- ing of these two ideas. Elinor is intellectual and prudent, but she is affectionate and her feelings are strong. Marianne is emotional and imprudent, but she is also sensible and clever. We should not think of one as superior to the other. Both Elinor and Marianne are more or less endowed with sense and sensibility. Marianne’s behaviour is based on her own feelings, and she often ignores the feelings of other people. Her slightest consideration of circumstances invites ultimately her sufferings. In spite of Elinor’s advice to pay much attention to formal social activities, Marianne will never listen to her and indulges herself in loving a play boy. She was betrayed by the materialist Willoughby, who was engaged to the wealthy Miss Grey. Marianne suffers from his desertion and becomes seriously ill. Through these sufferings she learns to thank the people around her and behave properly. Elinor is always thinking of the feelings of other people and controls her own strong feelings.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Plot Devices in Jane Austen's Novels: Sense and Sensibility Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English at Massey University JANE ELIZABETH BROOKER 1981 ii. ABSTRACT Th is thesi s evaluates vari ous p l ot devices occurring in three novels by Jane Austen. The novels studied are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Persuasion (1 818) . I have chosen novels from different periods of Jane Austen ' s career as a novelist . One of the novels, Pride and Prejudice is regarded as having a virtually flawless plot , while both Sense and Sensibility and Persua­ sion are considered to have major plot flaws . To evaluate Jane Austen's use of plot devices , I have iso­ lated the main devices in each novel . Each chapter of the thesis is devoted to one t ype of plot device. The plot devices analysed come under the headings of Journeys and Character Positioning, Revelations, Elopements , Illnesses, Alternative Suitors, Minor Characters, and Conclusion. At the end of each chapter I have summarised the main points and compared the devices discussed in the chapter . The con­ clusion is divided int o three parts , dealing separately with the three novels . In my analysis of plot devices I have looked particularly for consistency of characterisation, and for plausible events.

  • The Republic of Pemberley “A Haven for Jane Austen Addicts” a Study of a Virtual Community
    1 The Republic of Pemberley “A Haven for Jane Austen Addicts” A Study of a Virtual Community Author: Claudia Tenenblat Advisor: Karin Becker JMK - Department of Journalism, Media and Communication Masters Programme in Media and Communication Studies May 2011 2 Abstract The Internet is revolutionizing human communication. With it, new ways of exchanging information are created, enabling intimacy even without significant physical proximity. This thesis seeks to examine one Internet community, “ The Republic of Pemberley”, a virtual community in English about Jane Austen’s books and life. It addresses the relationships that are forged online, the trajectories of the community’s members as they discover, join, participate in and leave the group and the ways the community structures itself. Two main methodologies are employed in this research; Ethnography and in depth interviews, all conducted over the Internet. The study argues that, apart from serving the most dedicated Jane Austen fans by providing them with a place to discuss the minutiae of Austen’s work and life, Pemberley functions as a scene for strong social interactions and the creation of friendships online and beyond. 3 Table of Content page 1.
