Is this a form of conservative, women empowerment? Why? frank_ramirez7099 https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/218672753 2018-01-04 05:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/218672753 Austin Martinez - Free Indirect Speech Question martinez_austin327 https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/218911543 Jane Austen has been credited with pioneering the perspective of "free indirect speech," which allows for a character's thoughts (followed in the third person) to leak into the narration and give the narrator a personality of their own. For example, in the introduction of Darcy, who is Elizabeth's initial suitor and soon to be husband, the narrator reflects Elizabeth's perception of the character by stating he is boastful, elitist, and arrogant. By allowing the characters to influence the narrator's telling of the story, it results in almost creating a entirely new character of its own. What do you think might be the purpose for this literary tool and how does it contribute/influence our perception of the novel's characters?]]> 2018-01-05 10:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/218911543 Why does it take Mr. Darcy so long to admit his true feelings for Elizabeth?

Though not all upper class men believe this like Mr.Darcey with Mr.Bingley and Jane]]> 2018-01-06 07:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219062795 Why might Austen include multiple foil characters or foil relationships in the novel? velazque_carina402 https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219090917 2018-01-06 16:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219090917 farrell_mattie865 https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219118337 I find the expectations the upper class men have for woman to be impractical. Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley agree that "A woman must have thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages." They also mention she needs to have a certain something in her walking and toe of voice, and read extensively. It is near impossible for every woman to be able to acquire all these qualities.]]> 2018-01-07 03:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219118337 Why is Darcy so attracted to Elizabeth and when do you think he realizes this ?

Mr. Bennet has shown this quality, especially when told to talk to Elizabeth after she rejects Mr. Collins' proposal. He essentially tells her to follow her heart and do as she believes is right instead of conforming to the social expectations and pressures. Can you find any other instances in which Bennet plays the role of the intellectual voice in the book and elaborate on the comment Austen is trying to make through those examples? martinez_alexis939 https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219208128 2018-01-08 00:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219208128 ortiz_joylynn402 https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219216104 Mr.Darcy’s behavior changed notably from the beginning of the novel to the end of the novel, is this change something credible or noteworthy to the rest of the novel?

Austen in criticizing the system during her time where only men are allowed to inherit property. Mr. Bennet is forced to give this unworthy man his property because his wife did not give birth to son. Collins is also a higher class by association and believes in class wholeheartedly. Due to these factors he, as the symbol of the system on entailment of property to men, is portrayed as foolish and blind to his own faults. gonzalez_estevan830 https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219246387 2018-01-08 07:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219246387 Erich_Martinez https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219259465 Who is most at fault in the beginning of the novel: Darcy for his pride, or Elizabeth for her quick judgement?]]> 2018-01-08 08:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aileen_mata/nrqygxp46235/wish/219259465
