• -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

• Few historic references
• Universality 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

• Jane Austen can instigate emotional tempests in
  the readers mind just by telling a story that
  is apparently linear and entertaining.
• The 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.

Feminist view

• A modern girl that has no fear of telling her
  opinion. Shes coherent, loyal and ironic about
  herself and the others.
• Her relationship with Darcy is based on
  intellectual power. Darcy has to gain the respect
  of Liz theres no ruling man that decides for
  both. Its 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. ?

Satisfying

• Jane 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.
