Encountouring love and friendship littérature anglaise

Manon                                Encountering love and friendship

        To address this concept we will see the book by Jane Austen, is "Pride and Prejudice" appeared for the first time in 1813. Compared to the novel we will ask ourselves, how can we say that pride and prejudice, marriage is represented primarily as an economic arrangement?

To answer this question we first talk about the incipit of pride and prejudice which is very well known and in a second phase of an extract of pride and prejudice, more precisely Chapter 22 and finally we'll talk about the scene chapter 33.

        First of all, speak about This incipit, universally known, reveals the ultimate goal of marriage, and all that leads to it. Because at age 16 the wedding is possible, at 18 he became better and we need to think quickly enough and at age 20 it becomes very difficult to marry. Apès 16 years, the opportunity to get married is quite restricted. Ms. Benet, attaches great importance to her daughter finds a suitable husband. When a new neighbor arrives, sees the same benet arrival as an opportunity to be able to marry one of his three daughters. For her, every new young man is a potential husband. The three girls can not run for this new neighbor like this, this requires mingle family together.

The first sentence of this incipit is ironic, however, the end of the sentence, she is not because all women are intended to marry. This is the fate of all women to marry and there is no other way to get a social statue and a kind comfort. It is a responsibility for their mother to find them a good husband

Mr. Benet is it in any way involved, mocks the concerns of his wife, he even teased about it, and it will never be as involved as she is.We eput even come to question why ls married because he does not understand his jokes and thinks that everything is acquired, but mr benet married because

"Mr. Benet captivated by youth and beauty (..) had married a woman whose weak understanding and liberal spirit was very well established in their marriage put on the end of any affection for her" (II, chap, 19)

        We can see that the book deals with the prospect of marriage. The Bennets are desperate to marry off their daughters as they are pauvreset that one of them marries a noble, they would once again become nobles.Pour mr Bennet people this will bring a distant cousin Mr Collins, who will try to marry one of his five daughters and thus fix the situation of Bennets. Indeed, if one of them gets married it will bring freedom to the family that no longer has a sub. But Mr. collins find none to her taste made by Elizabeth, though he prefers to marry charlotte is less romantic and more realistic that Elizabeth. Elizbeth aged 27 and thus doomed to become old daughter. Mrs Bennet, unaware of the situation trying to convince Mary to marry Collins. Then CHarlotte announces to her friend that she will marry Collins but this one does not understand.

In this scene, we can see how the Charlotte family is happy, it's a real family chance.La Charlotte, speculate on the death of Mr. Benet in order to get the estate and charlotte could be with her parents

They try to empathize as we can see, "(...) uncertain to give happiness ... (...)". Later in chapter 33, we can see that Charlotte expressed happiness to manage his own house, even if she is married to the wrong man in the book, however it is master of its own house and does what she wants.

        Viewpoint good is that it is a learned man of small fortune and Charlotte, she has no money what made her a common person. Colonel who is the younger son of an earl, he was not his own fortune and has no inheritance from his family. He grew up in luxury and is to marry a rich girl, and who knows the same life situation as him. Most other weddings that place them are not happy, like Lydia and Wickham, "Only together because their passions were stronger than their virtue (III, Chapter 8). However, that of Jane and Bingley and Elizabeth and Darcy is really based on love.
