        <description><![CDATA[Mr. Bennet’s visit to Mr. Bingley comes as a surprise to the reader. The sarcasm he had used in the first chapter implies a lack of interest to his new neighbour. On the other hand, although Austen uses verbal irony to depict Mrs. Bennet, she emphasizes Mrs. Bennet’s concern about her daughter’s chances to get married. In Austen’s time, women had no right to inherit their father’s state. Instead, brothers, cousins or other male...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Satire is a literary form that uses the literary device figure of speech called irony. In other words, irony is a tool available, along with ridicule, sarcasm (a form of irony), wit, scorn and exaggeration, within the literary form of satire. Jane Austen is noted for saying in her letters that she laughs at people and herself in her novels. It is precisely this "laughing at" that comprises the literary form of satire. Irony, a device of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In addition to the first answer, Charlotte represents the typical plain country lady from Austen's time period.  These women were raised with the goal of obtaining a husband who could not only provide security for his bride but who also--in many cases (such as the Bennet family's situation)--could provide support for the woman's family, especially if her family did not have an immediate male heir.  While all aristocratic women such as Lady...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[During Jane Austen's time, marriage often amounted to no more than a business proposition. Few women at  that time had the luxury of marrying for love because money and land were passed down through the male line, from father to son, leaving women without personal property or income. Therefore marriage to a man with money was the only way a woman could remain in her social class and be "secure."  If a woman was not able to secure a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I don't know that we have evidence to indicate that Jane Austen did consider herself an artist. There is nothing in her letters that indicates a reference to herself in a capacity as artist. However, she does make one or two facetious remarks and some of her critics speak of her in terms used for artists.
In one instance, Jane Austen says in a letter to her sister Cassandra (dated Saturday, November 17, 1798) that "Perhaps it would have suited...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Eizabeth, "struck with his [Mr. Collins's] extraordinare deference for Lady Catherine" (vol.I, chap.XIII), entertains a detached curiosity to witness for herself this grand lady whom her cousin regards with such awe and reverence. Her first impression of Lady Catherine is not favourable. she was found vain, cold, overbearing and, inspite of her high birth and fortune, often uncouth. Elizabeth's dislike is strengthened by Lady Catherine's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At first, Elizabeth does not know quite what to think of Lady Catherine.  Elizabeth, being strong-minded herself, is not used to people critiquing her especially out in the open.  Lady Catherine is quite disdainful toward Lizzy and makes derogatory comments about Lizzy and her sisters' upbringing--even though she hasn't met any other member of the Bennet family. This causes Elizabeth to be underwhelmed by the woman who commands so much...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jane Austen uses the following narrative techniques in her novel "Pride and Prejudice" :
1. The Third Person Omniscient Author Technique: In this method of narration the author Jane Austen is in complete control of the narration of the story. Whatever she says we have to accept unquestioningly and wherever she leads us we have to follow. The opening remark of the novel is a good example of this narrative method:

 "It is a truth universally...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["Pride and Prejudice" faithfully reflects the social realities of the Regency Period (1811-20) when ownership of land conferred high social prestige and status. In Ch.3 the hero of the novel, Darcy is introduced as a man with a large estate with an annual income of 10,000 pounds a year. However, in the next chapter we read that Bingley his closest friend, has

"inherited property to the amount of nearly an hundred thousand pounds from his...]]></description>
