My favourite book «Pride and prejudice» Jane Austen

Made by Khodjimukhamedova Dayana

I like reading very much. Books are the history and tastes of each era. Some of them hopelessly lost its charm, others - are relevant and are read with interest today. Every writer wanted to write for ages, but could he or no; it turns out in subsequent generations. I can say that I love all kinds of books. I have a lot of them, they are different, some imaginative, other fantastic.
«Pride of woman, beggar and completely free - in its poverty, in its irony, in the strength of her character ... Is there something equal to such pride? Prejudice of woman, almost incapable to kick, to believe in the sincerity of men’s feel and stop thinking about it. This novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Book, without which there wouldn’t be "psychological" novel or "feminist" literature or - simply - "elite" prose as such! »

    The struggle for women to gain equality has been an ongoing issue for centuries. Although in the 18th century, the status of women in society was not as a widespread issue. However, some important women writers who did express their opinion on this topic were Mary Wollstonecraft and Jane Austen. These writers agreed on what the status of woman should be in society, although they both showed it in different ways. In Wollstonecraft’s, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,” she bluntly explains how women cut themselves short in almost every aspect of life just because of common convention. While Austen in her novel, Pride and Prejudice, portrays her view that women should and have the ability to have a voice, through the way she presents her characters. The characters in Austen’s novel embody the points of Wollstonecraft’s argument.…

    “The right good book is always a book of travel; it is about a life’s journey.” This quote was written by H.M. Tomlinson. This quote means that the proper story is all the time a book about advancements; it is about personal growth. I agree with the interpretation because in all good books people change and mature. One work of literature that I have read which relates to the quote is the book Holes by Louis Sachar. Another book that supports the quote is the book, Monster, by Walter Dean Myers.…

    Pride and Prejudice reflect the strictly regimented nature of life for the middle and upper classes in Regency England. Jane Austen satirizes this kind of class-consciousness, particularly in the character of Mr. Collins, who though Mr. Collins offers an extreme example, he is not the one to hold such view. His conception of the importance class is shared, among other by Mr. Darcy who believes in the dignity of his lineage.…

    Jane Austen uses letters in Pride and Prejudice for a number of reasons, (such as character development and plot) however, I feel the most important function is the role they play in the engagement of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. There are three letters in particular that pave the way for this engagement: Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth, Jane’s letter to Elizabeth while she is at Pemberley and Mrs. Gardiner’s letter to Elizabeth regarding Darcy’s involvement in Lydia’s wedding. It is not only the content of the letters, but also the reactions to the letters that leads to the acceptance of Darcy’s second proposal.…

    Pride and Prejudice was set in the Regency Period of history roughly 1790 - 1820 and had a different standard for women compared to how they are expected to act in today 's standards. There was a huge difference in the social standing between women and men in this period of time, and women were expected to act a certain way as compared to men. Back in this time property was only transferable to the men of the estates. Women were expected to marry and were treated as commodities as compared to being able to live their own lives and earn for themselves. Jane Austen uses marriage almost as a way of entrapment for women during this period as they either marry or they live a life of poverty and disgrace their family name.…

    The situation between Mr. Bingley and Jane Bennet is a prime example of the power of love in the novel. The two have contrasting background in which one is an aristocrat while the other is but a mere bourgeoisie. Such difference in monetary wealth and social class is highlighted throughout the novel. Miss Bingley is a character that supports the separation of classes. Her sarcastic letter towards Jane explaining Bingley’s, Darcy’s and her departure from Hertfordshire is a revelation of how love is hindered by socioeconomic boundaries. In her letter, Miss Bingley states “he [Mr. Bingley] will be in no hurry to leave [London]” (109). She is insinuating to Jane that Bingley is by no means attracted to anything in Hertfordshire. Miss Bingley’s letter also contains disparaging remarks about Jane’s inferiority. She states that “Many of my acquaintances are already there [London] for the winter; I wish that I could hear that you…had any intentions of making one in the crowd, but of that I despair (109).” These words says that Miss Bingley does not believe that Jane can afford to travel to London; she is putting off the idea before Jane can even think of going to London. However, even with the efforts of Miss Bingley in trying to prevent the marriage of Jane and Mr. Bingley, love in the end conquers all and the two are united.…

    The first event in which the reader is introduced to Darcy is the Meryton Ball. The news of newcomers attending the public ball creates great excitement within the Bennet family, especially concerning Mrs Bennet who sees this as an opportunity to marry off one of her five young daughters. “She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper… The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news” (pg 7). As the ball draws near, all the Bennet sisters wait in anticipation for the introduction of the presumably wealthy and handsome bachelors who are to arrive. When Mr Bingley and his quests make their entrance at the ball, one particular gentleman sparks great amounts of interest. “Mr Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year.” (pg 10) However, this admiration soon turns to distaste when people discover “him to be proud, above his company, and above being pleased” (pg 10), as…
