Umbes aasta peale abiellumist sai Jane isa oma pastori tööd tehes tüüfuse ja paarpäeva hiljem sai isalt selle ka ema ning mõlemad surid. Jane onu, ema vend mr Reed võttis lapse oma majja, kuid kui Jane oli saanud 1-aastaseks suri ka onu. Enne surma võttis mr Reed oma naiselt mrs Reedilt lubaduse, et too kasvatab Jane nagu oma last. Mrs Reed oli võimukas naine, ta sai kogu majapidamisega hakkama, kõik kuulasid ja austasid teda välja arvatud tema lapsed: Eliza, Georgiana ja John. Eliza oli kangkaelne ja isekas, kuid sündinud ärivaistuga tüdruk, teda üldiselt austati. Georgiana oli ilus, punaste põskedega ja kollaste kiharatega, kuid riiakas, salakaval ja ülbe tüdruk, samas anti talle ta ilu pärast kõik andeks. John – välimuselt suur, paks, tohutu söögiisuga, inetu poiss, armastas lõbustada ennast loomade ja Jane piinamisega, tegi kõike mida pähe tuli ning keegi ei
''Uhkus ja eelarvamus'' Jane Austen Tegelased: Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mr Bennet, Mrs Bennet, Jane Bennet, Mary Bennet, Catherine Bennet, Charles Bingley, Caroline Bingley, George Wickham, William Collins, onu ja tädi Gardiner, Georgiana Darcy. Tegevus toimub 19. sajandi alguses Inglismaal. Bennetite pere elab Longbourne'i külas. Peategelaseks on Elizabeth Bennet, kes kistakse tavapärasesse armuseiklusse. Ometigi on selle teekonna lugemine huvitav ning kohati ootamatu. Raamatus tuleb minu arust hästi välja, et uhkus on selleks, et varjata endas midagi, mida teised näha ei tohiks. Mr. Darcy on algusest peale ääretult uhke inimene ja tekitab enda vastu viha. Kuid raamatu edenedes selgub, et
Seega nõole mr.Collinsile, kes oli abielus mrs.Lucase tütre Charlotte'ga. Elasid Rosingsis, leedi Catherine de bourgh'i kõrval. Bingley'd Mr.Bingley (naiivne, sõltus sõpradest, avameelne ja sundimatu) Bingley õed (silmakirjalikud, õelad ja näitlejad) Kolisid Netherfieldi mõisasse, kus tutvusid Bennetite perega, kes visiidi tegid. Korraldasid balle, Bingley ja Jane armusid. Tööasjus ja ka Darcy pärast kolisid tagasi Londonisse. Darcy'd Georgiana Darcy (häbelik, haritud, soov kõigile meeldida, Wickhami 1 ohver) Mr.Darcy (uhke, tark, pöördus ringi, hakkas head tegema ja südamlikuks) Elasid Pemberley mõisas. Väga suur ja kallis maja. Darcy tuli koos Bingley'ga Netherfieldi mõneks kuuks ja armus Elizabethi. Küll aga pidas teda endast alamaks ja kolis minema Londonisse koos sõbraga. Hiljem kohtuti Rosingsis Collinsite juures ning Darcy tegi abieluettepaneku. Lizzy lükkas tagasi solvates teda, kuna ta talle ei meeldinud
Darcy had zero comprehension of politeness, but it can also serve as a proof of the deep-rooted understandings of equal fortune and class between the ones who tie the knot in the 19th century. Obviously marriage was not the only point that was affected by the class divisions. A conversation carried out by the representative of a great titled family and the members of mediocre class illustrates the differences between them in even the smallest aspects of the everyday life. "When my niece Georgiana went to Ramsgate last summer, I made a point of her having two men servants go with her. You must send John with the young ladies, Mrs. Collins." This statement from an aristocrat, Lady Catherine, to the girls of rather inferior descent, comes to show that if one Miss from a noble family required two servants whilst travelling, then two women of mediocre class were expected to have only one. Perhaps Lady
Seal elab ta oma tädi, Sarah Reed'i, ja tema pere juures. Sarah Reed on tema onunaine. Tema onu on samuti surnud. Sarah vihkab Jane'i algusest peale. Onu viimaseks sooviks, olles oma surivoodil, oli ,et Sarah lubaks, et hoolitseb Jane'i eest. Tema onu oli alati eelistanud Jane'i oma lastele, ning sellepärast Sarah Jane'i ei salli. Onu surmaga lõppes Jane'i hea põli Gatesheadis (raamatu alguses oli onu juba surnud). Peres elab peale tema veel kolm last: John, Eliza ja Georgiana. John peksab teda pidevalt ilma põhjuseta, kuid keegi ei kaitse teda. Kõik kohtlevad teda kui valetajat ja kurjategijat. Ainus, kes tema vastu vähegi lahkust üles näitab, on üks majateenija Bessy. Tema laulab talle ja räägib lugusi. Jane armastab nimelt üle kõige lugeda, eriti meeldib talle vaadata reisiraamatuid ja sealseid pilte. Ta ei ole ilus laps, vastupidi. Ta ei vasta ühelegi tolle aja iluideaalidest
· Mrs. Sarah Reed: Jane's aunt by marriage, who adopts Jane but neglects and abuses her. Her dislike of Jane continues to her death. · John Reed: Jane's cousin, who bullies Jane constantly, sometimes in his mother's presence. He ruins himself as an adult and is believed to die by suicide. · Eliza Reed: Jane's cousin. Bitter because she is not as attractive as her sister, she devotes herself self-righteously to religion. · Georgiana Reed: Jane's cousin. Though spiteful and insolent, she is also beautiful and indulged. Her sister Eliza foils her marriage to a wealthy Lord. · Bessie Lee: The plain-spoken nursemaid at Gateshead. She sometimes treats Jane kindly, telling her stories and singing her songs. Later she marries Robert Leaven. · Robert Leaven: The coachman at Gateshead, who brings Jane the news of John Reed's death, which brought on Mrs. Reed's stroke. · Mr
" "It is evident by this," added Jane, "that he comes back no more this winter." "It is only evident that Miss Bingley does not mean that he should." "Why will you think so? It must be his own doing. He is his own master. But you do not know all. I will read you the passage which particularly hurts me. I will have no reserves from you." "Mr. Darcy is impatient to see his sister; and, to confess the truth, we are scarcely less eager to meet her again. I really do not think Georgiana Darcy has her equal for beauty, elegance, and accomplishments; and the affection she inspires in Louisa and myself is heightened into something still more interesting, from the hope we dare entertain of her being hereafter our sister. I do not know whether I ever before mentioned to you my feelings on this subject; but I will not leave the country without confiding them, and I trust you will not esteem them unreasonable. My brother admires her greatly already; he will
