In Emily Bronte’s classic novel ‘Wuthering Heights’‚ the lead female characters; Catherine and Isabella‚ are in many instances depicted as cruel‚ partially powerless prisoners to whomever’s company they’re amongst.

Childhood in Wuthering Heights. Childhood is a key theme in Wuthering Heights as most of the characters’ behaviours and characteristics are shaped by events from their past. Before Heathcliff was taken in to the Earnshaw family by their father‚ Hindley and Cathy had a perfect‚ idyllic childhood.

"First Impressions‚" but later changed it to "Pride and Prejudice." Nonetheless‚ the title still goes off that premise. Both Darcy and Elizabeth are "pride" and "prejudice‚" because their entire relationship throughout the novel is marked by their "pride" and "prejudice." Now that I think about it‚ that may have been why she decided to change the title.

Elizabeth’s Pride and Darcy’s Prejudice? Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is a timeless social comedy which is both satirical and full of sentiment. The title refers to the personalities of the two main characters and cues the reader to Austen’s broader thematic purpose: to satirize nineteenth century manners and morals‚ especially as they relate to courtship and manners. Although both characters contain both these traits‚ it is mainly Mr. Darcy who exemplifies ‘pride’
