english homework: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
what you think are the main themes, your opinion of at least two characters and a general opinion of the book (there must be a detailed reason - you can't simply tell me you hate it because it is hard or boring).
Main themes:
- love
- class
- journey
opinion of Mr. Collins: he is very proud that he has a residence near Lady Catherine de Bourgh and that he dines with her. He very much brags about her wealth and class. He comes across as very snobby and annoying.
Opinion of Mr Wickham: he seems very attractive and charming. But once you find out that he made the story up about Mr Darcy you see that he really is a liar and he’s selfish.
Opinion of book: I think the book is alright. It was quite interesting that Mr Bingley was so under the influence of Mr Darcy (how Mr Darcy influenced him to go back home and that Jane didn’t love him). I like how although Elizabeth is expected to marry Mr Collins, she doesn't. It shows that she is independent and goes against her mother’s wills. I would think she would do anything her parents wanted her to do- thought that was the norm back then. It’s an interesting storyline. I can see why there has been so many adaptations of the story- Bridget Jones’ Diary, etc. I also found it interesting how Elizabeth’s friend agreed to marry Mr Collins, even though she didn’t really love him fully. She married him because of the assurance. Assurance of a home, wealth, etc. It shows that it would’ve been really hard for women back then. Because all the wealth would go to the men in the family and women didn’t have jobs, etc.
written overview:
I have read the whole book.
