PRIDE AND PREJUDICE BY JANE AUSTEN.

        Hello readers! 

     I'm Jagruti Vala and I'm a student of English department, MKBU.

    In this blog I want to share some thoughtfully  questions and its answer about pride and prejudice.


Assigned by Megha ma'am 


   First of all, here is a brief introduction about the Author Jane Austen.


                  INTRODUCTION:-


   Born:- December 16, 1775
              Hampshire, England

  Died:- July 18, 1817
             Hampshire, England

    Period:- 1787 to 1817

 Jane Austen was an English novelist known for her best six novels:

    
        Sense and sensibility

        Pride and prejudice

        Emma

       Northanger Abbey

       Mansfield park

       Persuasion 

   Jane Austen's novels is full of wit, irony  and human nature.
  
    Now she is considered as one of the most important read author in English literature.

 She was the seventh child ( out of eight).
   
Jane Austen was a female writer  in the late 18th century and  early 19th century.

  She is celebrated for her best novel pride and prejudice  which offered social commentary  and roles of women in her time.


  Here are some questions about the novel pride and prejudice:

   
    1.compare the narrative strategy of the novel and movie:


     Ans: 

         
    The novel is written in the third person narrator.

    The narrator most  focusing on Elizabeth Bennet's character and her  perspective.

      In contrast, in  movies  uses a  visual and audible elements to show different characters' perspective.


      Character:-


   In the character point of view, 
  The novel has more space for  the inner thoughts and emotions of the characters. 

   In Movies, due to time constraints, on facial expressions, dialogue, and actions to convey character development.


     Dialogue: 


The novel contains Austen's witty and developed language. 

  In Movie adaptations often condense dialogue and may modernize it slightly for accessibility.


    Music:-


    In Movies use music to enhance emotional impact, which is absent in the novel.


    In summary,  while the whole  story and themes of "Pride and Prejudice" remain consistent, the narrative strategies   between the novel and its movie adaptations due to the respective strengths and limitations of these mediums.


   2.write an illustration of the society  of Jane Austen's time:


    Ans:-

     In Jane Austen's time, society was like a strict and orderly.

   At the top were the rich and important people, like lords and ladies,  who owned of land and  wealth. 

  Then came the clergy, who were often respected but not as rich.

   After that, you had professionals like lawyers and doctors, followed by tradespeople and laborers.

   
   Marriage was a big thing l, especially for women. 

  They needed to find a good husband to take care of them because they couldn't own property.

  In the contrast, Men needed to marry well to secure their family's future.

     Society was  focused on reputation. If you did something immortal behaviour, it could ruin your social standing. 

   Jane Austen's novels, like "Pride and Prejudice," give us a good look at this world of manners, marriages, and societal expectations.


  3.What if Mr Darcy  and Elizabeth never got together? What if Lydia's elopement  had a different outcome? Explore the consequences  of these change and write alternative endings of the novel:


     Ans:-


     If Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth never got together in "Pride and Prejudice," it would mean they didn't end as a couple. 

   The story's focus on their relationship and personal growth,  leading to different romantic outcomes for the characters.

    The novel's central theme is marriage of  pride and prejudice might  be as prominent, and the story's impact and message could change.

 
      If Lydia's elopement in "Pride and Prejudice" had a different outcome, it would lots of changes in  the story.

   In the novel, Lydia runs away with Mr. Wickham, creating an immortal behaviour.

      If something different happened, like her family managing to stop the gateway and her making a better choice, the family's reputation would be care for , and the story's events and character lively would be different. 

   This outcome would likely affect how the other characters lives and relationships unfold in the story.

   
    Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a classic novel with a well-known plot.

 However, here provided  an alternative endings that explore different consequences of the story. 


   Elizabeth Marries Mr. Collins: 


     In this alternative ending, Elizabeth accepts Mr. Collins' proposal to secure her family's financial future. 

   The Bennet family avoids financial ruin, but Elizabeth leads a less fulfilling life with a man she does not love.

     The novel takes a darker turn, the societal pressures on women in that era.


   Darcy's Financial Ruin: 


    Mr. Darcy's business fail in  leading to a reversal of his and Elizabeth's fortunes. 

   They must learn to live  to a lower social status. 

   This ending explores themes of resilience and adaptation.
