6.the role male and female characters play in the depiction of the society in pride and prejudice?

Pride and Prejudice deals with a prejudiced society, whose financial

situation was much more important than the personal desire, mainly the female one Pride and Prejudice describes the clash
between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich and aristocratic landowner.
Although Austen shows them intrigued by each other, she reverses the convention of “first impressions”: “pride” of rank and
fortune and “prejudice” against the inferiority of the Bennet family hold Darcy aloof, while Elizabeth is equally fired both by
the “pride” of self-respect and by “prejudice” against Darcy’s snobbery. Ultimately, they come together in love and self-
understanding. The intelligent and high-spirited Elizabeth was Jane Austen’s own favourite among all her heroines and is one
of the most engaging in English literature..

7.Emma as a feminist novel

Emma’s level of power in the novel, although a rarity for women of the time, enables her to brea% away from the
stereotyped image of the one$dimensional woman. !he vulnerable situations of lower women such as &iss 'ates and Jane
(airfax also evo%e a certain level of pity, thus contrasting negatively against Emma’s fortunate independence from men. !his
is made evident by the followingin reference to &iss 'ates. she is poor) she has sunk from the comforts she was born to) and,
if she live to old age, must probably since more. her situation should secure your compassion.+

Jane Austen’s Emma is in many ways a novel about society and its intricacies, as it explores one’s worth and the position in
which they fall within the tiers of social order. !o be a woman in the nineteenth century was, for most, to be at the bottom
end of such a structure. Austen’s novel presents a woman who is of the highest ran% of society, wealthy, and in possession of
a lifestyle of near completeindependence from men. Emma Woodhouse defes the social code which was embedded into
culture of the time, and serves as a role model to those of her society. her views on marriage are unusual, as she declares
that a woman in a position such as hers’ should not be inclined to marry, even though women who too% on such a view were
usually frowned upon. As well as this, she acts as the social and intellectual equal of the highest men in society, including &r
6nightley) the most prominent man in highbury’s social order. Emma may indeedbe considered a novel centred on feminist
ideals, as Emma Woodhouse represents a digression from the social stereotypes that have held bac% equality between sexes
throughout historyy.

11.Class distinction in Emma and pride and prejudice

Pride and Prejudice' and 'Emma', share many obvious traits. Both are classed under the genre 'comedy of manners', both
centre around life and love in regency England, and both can teach us a great deal about the complex class structure of the
time. Although Austen had neither the great wealth and status of Emma Woodhouse, nor the need to marry for financial
security of Elizabeth Bennet, I believe it is safe to say here interpretation of life in her novels could be pretty close to
actuality. It is this I am going to investigate further in this essay, how Austen represent the class structure of her day in
her writing and how these two novels in particular compare in regards to this theme. Central to each novel is it's heroine's
position in society. Of Emma, We learn that their village, Highbury 'afforded her no equals. The Woodhouses were first in
consequence there. All looked up to them'. (chapter1, page 9) From her we see life through the eyes of the most privileged.
She doesn't need to marry herself so take's great pleasure in match making her friends. On the other hand, we are made
aware of the necessity of marriage to Elizabeth, and the other Bennet sisters, straight away, through conversation between
Mr and Mrs Bennet, which serves as the opening chapter of 'Pride and Prejudice'

9.the role of humor in pride and prejudice and emma

jane Austen uses humour and irony in her novels in a way that the two are found simultaneously in situations throughout Pride
and Prejudice. Humour, by definition given by M. H. Abrams, ‘may be ascribed either to a comic utterance or to a comic
appearance or mode of behavior.’[1] The text goes on to say that humour can be found in wit, it being the spoken word, or in
the way that people dress and act. Irony, on the other hand, is a much broader term than humour, in that there is more than
one kind. Verbal irony is a form where the character says something that is contrasted with the actual happenings (not, of
course, to be confused with sarcasm). Other types of irony include structural irony, stable and unstable irony, sarcasm
(which can be viewed as a form of irony in itself), and many more.The humour in Pride and Prejudice, as in other works of
Austen, is particularly bawdy.“Let me mend [your pen] for you. I mend pens remarkably well.”
“Thank you – but I always mend my own.”[2]

13. definition of social margins in sense and sensibility

In her first published novel, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen brought to life the struggles and instability of the English
hierarchy in the early 19th century. Through the heartaches and happiness shared by Elinor Dashwood, who represented
sense and her sister Marianne, who stood for sensibility, Austen tells a story of sisters who plummet from the upper class to
the lower crust of society and the characters that surround them. Austen juxtaposes the upper and lower classes in English
society to give the reader a full understanding of the motivation to be a part of the upper class and the sacrifices one will
give up to achieve such status. Austen exposes the corruptness of society, the significance of class and the fundamental
building blocks both are to the decision-making surrounding her protagonists, Marianne and Elinor....
