out Black Pride, walking over to my fellow African American giving dap saying Black Pride is in the house, what would you think or say? how would you feel being of another race?

of these masterpieces left me cold, including those written by Henry James, Joseph Conrad and especially Jane Austen. Although I would never deny that they were great writers, their words did not resonate with me. After reading 50 or so pages of ?Pride and Prejudice,? I found myself wondering what all the hype was about. I was left cold by an endless round of country balls, dinner parties and arch dialogue that always sounded self-conscious and somewhat artificial. To illustrate: Elizabeth

ruling class not only dominates the material sources of society, but also controls the intellectual modes of production. The ruling class circulates its ideas as the only rational, ideal, universal ideas, to maintain their hegemony.

Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen Jane Austen opens her story with one of English literature’s most infamous lines; ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of wife.’ This immediately indicates the author’s twist of irony- does she refer to the idea as ‘universally acknowledged’ or simply just in reference to Mrs Bennet for thinking so, simultaneously highlighting the questionable concept of their class/period that marriage

Viviana Albino INGL3312-016 Aug. 21, 2015 Reflection on Pride and Prejudice Pride and Prejudice to me is a romantic novel set in a time where your status or class were all that mattered. Your status depended on who your father was, who you were married to and how much money you made. Education was also an important thing in the upper class but education also had to do with how to behave and entertain people. Marriage was a very important and crucial thing for women, especially for the Bennets

Response #1: Pride and Prejudice I ended up enjoying Pride and Prejudice much more than I expected to. I had read Jane Eyre in high school and despite its acclaim just couldn’t get into the storyline. The Victorian backdrop and style of the story bored me at the time and I struggled to get through the book. This was more than a few years ago so I think I probably need to take another pass at it. In spite of this I found Pride Prejudice to be an enjoyable read. The dialogue was much wittier and

Meg Huffingham January 5, 2016 In what ways does Austen strikingly reveal the theme of money in “Pride and Prejudice”? From the very first line of the novel “Pride and Prejudice,” it becomes apparent that the theme of money is the foundation that the story was built on.

Characters
