Book Report on Pride and Prejudice The author of Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen who was born in Steventon‚ Hampshire‚ in the south of England‚ in 1775 and died at the age of 41. She began writing at the age of fourteen as entertainment for her family. Austen’s early writing often made gentle fun of popular fiction of the time. Love and Friendship‚ her first book (completed in 1790)‚ was not very kind to those writers who scorned emotional self-control. Northanger Abbey was written at the

Austen incorporates many similarities throughout her other novels exemplifying themes such as: the role of women‚ ideal love‚ and social classes and hierarchies.

Shakespeare clearly portrays its youthful characters as being quick to act without thought or caution‚ this is not the case for all young people. Furthermore‚ it is my belief that all people‚ regardless of age‚ are capable of acting in an impulsive and hasty manner. It is evident from the play Romeo and Juliet that the two youthful protagonists are portrayed as being somewhat rash‚ as a direct effect of their tender age.

the world will begin to learn generalizations are just that‚ generalizations. Stereotypes are a very negative generalization for a certain group of people. Ignorance leads to assuming a whole group of people does something by judging one person. Societal expectations may restrict people from growing and becoming better versions of themselves for fear of being judged. Categorizing with stereotypes can also be offensive to other people who know where the generalization comes from. However‚ by being
