【正文】 tending this example, Mrs. Bennet wishes one of her daughters to marry this young man, not because she has met the man before, but because she wishes her daughters to marry into wealth. Using the relationship of Darcy and Elizabeth, Austen makes the point that love, strength, and happiness are more powerful than differences among individual lifestyles. Family Austen demonstrates the significant impact a family has on an individual’s life mainly through the example of the Bennet family. Since family is responsible for educating and teaching morals to the children in the family, the five daughters in the Bennet family face a very difficult upbringing, especially given the ignorance and idiocy of Mrs. Bennet, and adding the sarcasm and immediate feelings of irritation with Mr. Bennet, who seems to find great satisfaction in belittling his wife. Considering their parents have not provided the girls with much education and morals, it is lucky for Jane and Elizabeth that Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner take a toll in providing the two girls with education and guidance. Had the Gardiners not provided them with studies and personal values, the girls would have faced more difficulty in the future. For example, Lydia, who has not been as fortunate in receiving extra guidance, makes a decision which greatly affects her social status and the status of the family, as well as the family’s overall reputation within the town. Attempting to help, Elizabeth advises to her father to prohibit Lydia from going to Brighton, however her father did not follow her advise and allowed Lydia to go, since it would be easier than having to listen to Lydia plain. Unfortunately, this led to Lydia’s elopement with Wickham, and the whole family would have to pay the price. Gender Gender plays a contributing factor to the novel on various levels, the most obvious being the differences in privileges and expectations between men and women. Austen set the time of the novel to take place during the 19c, when the men had greater power and contribution to society as a whole, and the women were viewed more as reserved, gossipy, and highly held by reputation. Given that there were very few schools during this time, and only the wealthy could afford to attend school, the few schools there were did not permit women to attend。s initial prejudice against him is rooted in pride of her own quick perceptions. Quote found online and taken from Class Associated with pride and prejudice is class. The highclass society maintains a very proper and restricted way of life, while the middleclass is viewed clearly as inferior. Since the Bingleys and Darcys are wealthy, they are assumed to be snobbish, and withhold the highest expectations, as these are the prejudice judgments of the high class. However, since the Bennet family is more middleclass, the higher class views some of Mrs. Bennet39。 Darcy39。 the wealthy are snobbish, the notsowealthy are impolite, the eldest daughter will be the first to marry, and unmarried womenoverthirty will never marry. However these judgments are not always negative. If one family member is seen to have good standing with wealthy society, the rest of the family also acquires this image. Unfortunately on the contrary, if one family member demonstrates societal deviance, as Lydia Bennet did with Wickham, the whole family is perceived to hold the same negative reputation. Many prejudiced judgments are due to a character39。s confidence as conceit. Prejudice also corresponds with character pride. Prejudiced judgments are woven within society in the novel, especially pertaining to reputation, economic status, and women39。s pride causes him to look down on those who are in a lower social class, due to his mentality that he supersedes those who are not within his social circle. Given that Elizabeth Bennet is of a lower class than Darcy, this places immediate restrictions to their relationship. Elizabeth also displays significant pride. Though not influenced by economic status, Elizabeth is most proud of her ability of perception: although it is her ill perception which causes her to misjudge Darcy and also Wickham. When Elizabeth hears of Wickham39。s physician, rented rooms in Winchester. Tragically, there was then no cure and Jane Austen died in her sister39。s naval brother Frank and his wife Mary. There were occasional visits to London, where Jane stayed with her favourite brother Henry, at that time a prosperous banker, and where she enjoyed visits to the theatre and art exhibitions. However, she wrote little in Bath and nothing at all in Southampton. Then, in July, 1809, on her brother Edward offering his mother and sisters a permanent home on his Chawton estate, the Austen ladies moved back to their beloved Hampshire countryside. It was a small but fortable house, with a pretty garden, and most importantly it provided the settled home which Jane Austen needed in order to write. In the seven and a half years that she lived in this house, she revised Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice and published them ( in 1811 and 1813) and then embarked on a period of intense productivity. Mansfield Park came out in 1814, followed by Emma in 1816 and she pleted Persuasion (which was published together with Northanger Abbey in 1818, the year after her death). None of the books published in her lifetime had her name on them — they were described as being written By a Lady. In the winter of 1816 she started Sanditon, but illness prevented its pletion. Jane Austen had contracted Addisons Disease, a tubercular disease of the kidneys (see Jane Austen39。s extensive library provided material for the short satirical sketches she wrote as a girl. At the age of 14 she wrote her first novel,
