Pride and Prejudice Textual Analysis Thread

A place to discuss anything related to the VCE & QCE English text 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen

Quote from: VCAA Text List Blurb
Austen, Jane, Pride and Prejudice, Penguin, 2003 (1)
First published in 1813 and originally titled ‘First Impressions’, the novel Pride and Prejudice follows the setting up and unravelling of misunderstandings between the spirited Elizabeth Bennet and the wealthy Fitzwilliam Darcy. The introduction of siblings, cousins and suitors complicates the plot and deepens Elizabeth’s awareness of herself. The text follows the ways in which characters respond to the attentions of others.
Replete with irony and free indirect discourse, Pride and Prejudice is an extended meditation on the extent to which one must know oneself before they can truly know another. It also provides insight into the obsessions of Georgian England: marriage, rank and etiquette. While Austen’s original readers would undoubtedly have appreciated the twists and turns of the marriage plot, modern audiences will appreciate the way in which Elizabeth and her four sisters navigate expectations imposed by self and society, as well as the notion of an ‘accomplished woman’.
