Dear blog,
This novel has too many characters thus far. About ten, more or less? Hopefully there won’t be too many more because then, I will start confounding them. Let’s see. Mr. Bingley likes Jane, Elizabeth hates Darcy, Charlotte is quite introspective with her observation about Jane, and I’m reading a chick flick. Tough bananas. Anyways, many of the aspects included within these chapters, give clues about the future of the novel. Well, I find it really hard to foreshadow what might happen if it wasn’t thanks to Austen’s deliberate clues. Thank you, Jane! Jane Austen, not Jane Bennet. As I was saying, foreshadowing happens when Charlotte tells Jane (Bennet not Austen) that “If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him; and it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in the dark” (Austen 15). Will Mr. Bingley’s love for Jane fade?
Please help me. I don’t know what else to write about. I don’t like chick flicks. I want something else, something that involves deeper drama. I’ve had enough by watching chick flick movies with my girlfriends. Before, reading was my refuge from chick flicks, but now, I’m reading chick flicks! So, what can I write about? Something interesting, that reflects my understanding of the novel…
Something interesting: it’s language. Austen is able to portray an entire character without the use of many descriptive words. To my interest, the constant discussions between Darcy and Elizabeth portray this use of language. Even though the narrator never talks about their personalities, the reader knows them perfectly. For example:
“I am no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing any.”
“Are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all this?”
“I never saw such a woman. I never saw such capacity, and taste, and application, and elegance, as you describe, united.” (Austen 29).
This excerpt from their dialogue reflects both characters’ personalities. It portrays Darcy as being far too demanding, while showing that he sees Elizabeth as being inferior to him. This traits that illustrate the novel’s characters, in the long run, reflect the novel’s thematic: love, social classism, and status.
