Five great reasons for success
UP-TO-DATEC
haracters’ characteristics :
-
Lizz’s cleverness
-
Mrs Bannet’s nerves
-
youngest Bennet sisters’ vulgarity
-
Mr. Collins’ vacuity
“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
UNIVERSALITY
F
ew historic references
U
niversality of time, space and
characters prototypes
"Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks, and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it"
CAPTIVATING AND TOUCHING
J
ane Austen can instigate emotional
tempests in the reader’s mind just by
telling a story that is apparently linear
and entertaining.
T
he message is “choose what makes you
happy”
“I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.”
A
modern girl that has no fear of
telling her opinion. She’s coherent,
loyal and ironic about herself and
the others.
H
er relationship with Darcy is based
on intellectual power. Darcy has to
gain the respect of Liz; there’s no
ruling man that decides for both.
It’s a war on equal terms
“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love
you.”
“He is a gentleman, and I am a gentleman's daughter. So far we are
equal.”
FEMINIST VIEW
SATISFYING
J
ane Austen can read
through our minds
and she could put in
words exactly the
essence of life.
“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”
“Till this moment I never knew myself.”
