Jane Austen "Pride & Prejudice" Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, has consistently been Jane Austen's most popular novel. Austen sold the copyright for Pride and Prejudice to Thomas Egerton. Egerton published the first edition of Pride and Prejudice in three hardcover volumes in January. The tone is light and a little humoristic. Pride and Prejudice is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility. At first the book was called "First impressions" and this gives a better expression to the requests of the author, than the later heading. People meet, do not understand each other and communication does not offer joy either. So this is contrary to love at first sight. It is a tale of love and values in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. It is a story of five sisters and their lives
Mr. Bennet - Elizabeth's father. Mrs. Bennet - wife of Mr.Bennet and mother of Elizabeth and her sisters. Mr. Bingley- Darcy's friend, who becomes fond of Jane Summary of the plot: In Georgian England, Mrs. Bennet raises her five daughters - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia with the purpose of getting them married with a rich husband that can support the family. They are not from the upper class, and their house in Hartfordshire will be inherited by a distant cousin if Mr. Bennet dies. When the wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley and his best friend Mr. Darcy arrive in town to spend the summer in a mansion nearby their property, the shy and beautiful Jane falls in love with Mr. Bingley. Lizzie finds Mr. Darcy an arrogant and proud man, and she swears to loathe him forever. This is the beginning of their wonderful love story. My opinion:
single man who had plans to move nearby to Netherfields manor. When Mrs. Bennet hears about that she sends her husband to talk with Mr. Bingley and after that he visits them with his rich friend Mr. Darcy who is even more richer than Mr. Bingley. Soon after that takes place a welcome ball for Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, in that ball Bingley and Bennets oldest daughter find a connection. Opposite to his friend Darcy dosen't make a good impression to people, people think that he's arrogant, pride and thinks way too much of himself, and he also rejects Elizabeth Bennet, when she asks him to dance with her. The next day Bingley asks Jane to visit him, on the way she gets sick and Elizabeth goes there to take care of her sister. For Elizabeths disappointment, she has to see Darcy, when he sees that Elizabeth isin't interested in him, he finds her attractive and her honesty fascinates him. Turning the time in there Elizabeth discovers that Bingleys sisters hate Jane and fake their friendship
other while dancing, probably to find reasons for dislike which was dangerously fading and being transferred into interest. 9. What did an "accomplished woman" have to be like and what qualities to possess according to Darcy's definition? What did Elizabeth think about that definition? 10. Who were pride/prejudiced in the film in your opinion and why? Everyone have those kinds of qualities like pride and prejudgment - we all are humen. But the most prejudiced were clearly Mr.Wickham (for his handsome appearance) and Mr.Darcy, clearly. The ones with biggest pride were lady Lucas and Caroline Bingley, rich ladies with sharp tongue. · Task 2: Identify who uttered the quotes (the list of characters might be of help): *"My good opinion once lost is lost forever" Charlotte Lucas *"Oh, my goodness. Everybody behave naturally". Mrs. Bennet
