Pride and Prejudice

Here I have some other questions taken from CC pp. 287, 288 that will help analyze more deeper the novel:

1. What degrees of emancipation and/or conservative reinforcement of 18th-Century family values does Elizabeth Bennet's marriage to Mr. Darcy support?

2. 
What attitudes to marriage does 'Pride and Prejudice' convey? What other options did Elizabeth Bennet have?




3. How does the introduction made by Vivien Jones affect your reading and approach to the novel?

4. How could the social circumstances and contexts of 'Pride and Prejudice' apply to different cultures and contexts today?

Answers:

1. She had an advanced thinking of society compared with the most of the people back then, she was a free and liberal woman.

2. In the 18th-19th centuries, women had a road to follow during their life, and that road ends with marriage, it was a necessity because women back then didn't had jobs, so they had to get married with someone that they maybe didn't love, someone that had money. Elizabeth managed to change the road to be with the one she truly loved.


3. The introduction made by Vivien Jones is like a tool that help us understand better the novel and approach to it too.


4. The story of Pride and Prejudice, is a story that will always appear in any type of context or cultures in real life, and it will keep on happening while people still have different ideas than each others.
