LITERARY ELEMENTS SERIES
Jane Austin uses the literary term of conflict to basically drive the her whole novel, the conflicts of the characters are the basis of the book from Dary&Elizabeth to Mr.&Mrs.Bennet, the whole book is one big conflict.Plot A series of related events that present and resolve a conflict Įxposition and Rising Action Exposition The part of the story, usually near the beginning, in which the characters are introduced, the background is explained, and the setting is described. Jane Austin uses irony quite a bit in Pride and Prejudice to open up the eyes of the readers to the misconstrued ideals of society on things like marrige. Jane Austin uses characterazation alot in her novel, she uses this literary term to steadily build her characters all the while crafting their individual personas. The outstanding literary elements showcased in the novel Pride and Prejudice were characterazation, irony, and conflict. Lastly Reputation/Class was a theme very evidently dislpayed throughout the novel by Darcy's constent concern for his and his sisters reputation and the large diffrence in social class between himself and Elizabeth. Love/Marrige is also a huge theme in Pride and Prejudice because that was a main goal in lives of women in the 19th century, to marry for sustainment not for love wich is a theme argued both ways within Pride and Prejudice.
Pride is an obviouse theme because Pride and Prejudice is plot and character based, which leads perfectly to the High Horse pride of Mr.Darcy and the independent pride of Elizabeth pride inevitably keeps them from love. The three major themes of Pride and Prejudice are Love/Marrige, Pride, and Reputation/Class. romance and of course the ever reacurring sarcasm. The tone of "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen is of course the true essence of Pride and Prejudice.
