| pride and prejudice important questions and answers: Pride and Prejudice Andrew Davies, 2024-06-26 The story is set in Georgian England, when it was customary for only male heirs to inherit the estate. Mr and Mrs Bennet live in some comfort, but as they have five daughters and no son, it is imperative that the girls marry well. Hopes rise when Mr Bingley, a rich bachelor, rents the nearby Netherfield estate. He attends the local ball with his sister and his friend Mr Darcy. He is immediately attracted to Jane, the eldest Bennet sister, and she to him. But Mr Darcy seems haughty and aloof, and declines to dance with Elizabeth, (our heroine) the spirited second Bennet daughter. She dislikes him on sight and fails to notice that he gradually becomes more and more attracted by her wit and intelligence. Mr Collins, a distant cousin who stands to inherit the Bennet estate, comes to visit, with a view to marrying one of the Bennet sisters. He proposes to Elizabeth, who rejects him. Jane and Mr Bingley become fond of each other and Elizabeth's secret adoration for Mr Darcy becomes apparent. The love between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy blossoms, despite his prejudice of her low social connections. Written by Andrew Davies, writer of the iconic 1995 BBC TV adaptation. |

| pride and prejudice important questions and answers: Annihilation of Caste B.R. Ambedkar, 2014-10-07 B.R. Ambedkar's Annihilation of Caste is one of the most important, yet neglected, works of political writing from India. Written in 1936, it is an audacious denunciation of Hinduism and its caste system. It offers a scholarly critique of Hindu scriptures, scriptures that sanction a rigidly hierarchical and iniquitous social system. Arundhati Roy introduces this extensively annotated edition in The Doctor and the Saint, examining the persistence of caste in modern India, and how the conflict between Ambedkar and Gandhi continues to resonate. Roy breathes new life into Ambedkar's anti-caste utopia, and says that without a Dalit revolution, India will continue to be hobbled by systemic inequality. |

A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.” —Barack Obama “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe's critically acclaimed African Trilogy.

| pride and prejudice important questions and answers: Scattered Leaves Richard Mitchell, 2024-11-12 Most Protestants assume Catholic priest Martin Luther inspired the Reformation by posting objections to church dogma on the doors of the Cathedral in Wittenberg, Germany, (1513), even though at the end of the twelfth century, three-hundred years before Luther’s revolt, a humble merchant’s son in Lyon, France, was excommunicated for inspiring Christian practitioners to live and act more faithfully to the words of Jesus and his disciples. That man was Peter Waldo. His followers, the Waldensian’s, were mostly poor folk persecuted by a Roman church and nearly exterminated; however, by faith, tenacity and good fortune, endure unto this day. Their story into the twenty-first century, like many oppressed people of faith, isn’t merely happenstance, but ‘A Distant Mirror’ into the horror and heroics of survival. About the Author Richard Mitchell’s ancestors were Waldensian, but he didn’t realize it until he explored his lost heritage in the complexity of America’s melting pot. Born in Los Angeles, California, at the beginning of World War Two to an Irish mother and French-Italian father, Rich grew up in an idyllic seaside village north of Santa Monica. He struggled with school until inspired by faculty at the University of Oregon, finishing his formal education at Cornell. He administered and taught school in Oregon, California, New York, and Switzerland. He and his wife Renee share three sons and spend their retirement producing theatrical plays in Oxford, England. |

| pride and prejudice important questions and answers: Pride, Prejudice & Secrets C. P. Odom, 2015-01-06 One of the turning points in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is Miss Elizabeth Bennet's passionate refusal and denunciation of the equally passionate but infinitely more repressed Fitzwilliam Darcy. However, unforeseen events can lead to the most unexpected consequences. During a visit with her friend Charlotte Collins at Hunsford, Elizabeth falls prey to illness for almost the first time in her life just as Mr. Darcy comes to call. Befuddled by her illness, she misinterprets his proposal of marriage, and a simple nod of acknowledgment is mistaken for acceptance of his suit by a joyous Darcy. By the time Elizabeth regains her health, it seems that every one of her acquaintance - and many outside of it - accept that she is engaged to the last man in the world she would ever consider. Elizabeth knows that her life will be forever changed, and the consequences will spread further than she imagines. From the author of: A Most Civil Proposal Consequences |

| pride and prejudice important questions and answers: The Autobiography of Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde, 2017-01-10 Oscar Wilde never wrote an autobiography. From his correspondence and his conversation, however, it has proven possible to piece one together. Constructed after the manner of Ruth Scurr's John Aubrey, this is his own story, in his own inimitable words.PRAISE FOR OSCAR WILDEReading and rereading Wilde throughout the years, I notice a fact that people who praise him apparently haven't in the very least: the basic and verifiable fact that Wilde is almost always right.--Jorge Luis BorgesThough the Philistines may jostleYou will rank as an apostleIn the high aesthetic band,As you walk down PiccadillyWith a poppy or a lilyIn your mediaeval hand.--Arthur SullivanHe made dying Victorianism laugh at itself, and it may be said to have died of the laughter.--Richard Le GallienneI have had the privilege of listening also to many other masters of table talk--Meredith and Swinburne, Edmund Gosse and Henry James, Augustine Birrell and Arthur Balfour, Gilbert Chesterton and Desmond MacCarthy and Hilaire Belloc, all of them splendid in their own way--but assuredly Oscar in his own way was the greatest of them all: the most spontaneous and yet the most polished, the most soothing and yet the most surprising.--Max BeerbohmOscar Wilde said that sunsets were not valued be-cause we could not pay for sunsets. But Oscar Wilde was wrong; we can pay for sunsets. We can pay for them by not being Oscar Wilde.--GK ChestertonOscar turned his words into gems and flung them to the moon!--Herbert Beerbohm TreeWhat a tiresome, affected sod.--Noel CowardRather like Gore Vidal in our time, Wilde was able to be mordant and witty because he was, deep down and on the surface, un homme serieux. May his memory stay carnation-green. May he ever encourage us to think that the bores and the bullies and the literal minds need not always win. May he induce us to rise from our semi-recumbent postures.--Christopher HitchensNo, I've never cared for his work. Too scented.--Rudyard KiplingWhat has Oscar in common with Art?--except that he dines at our tables and picks from our platter the plums for the puddings he peddles in the provinces. Oscar--the amiable, irresponsible, esurient Oscar--with no more sense of a picture than of the fit of a coat, has the courage of the opinions--of others!--James McNeill WhistlerThe dinner table was Wilde's event and made him the greatest talker of his time.--WB Yeats |

| pride and prejudice important questions and answers: Pride and Prejudice Book (Complete Novel with Annotations) Jane Austen, 2019-08-29 This is the complete novel Pride and Prejudice with a study guide and biography of Jane Austen. Published in 1913, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a novel centered around character development hence it may be classified as a novel of manners. It chronicles the behavioral development of certain characters, among whom Elizabeth Bennet is key. Set in Longbourn and environs in Hertfordshire as well as Derbyshire, the novel focuses on the imprints of pride and prejudice on how people relate with, and view others in the society. Although it addresses core societal issues such as pride, class division and segregation, money, love and marriage, as well as education, Pride and Prejudice is rife with comic situations, assumptions, first impressions, misconceptions and eventual discoveries of true behaviors. The culture projected in the novel is that of the Classic English society (United Kingdom) in which regency was the ruling system, and the society was stratified into the higher class and the lower class, or put differently, the 'new' money and the 'old' money, and value was placed so much on inheritance. Mobility from the lower class to the upper class was almost impossible and extremely difficult, but could be achieved through marriage. However, members of the privileged class were socially forbidden from marrying from the underprivileged class. This plays a large role in the development of the events in the novel. Whereas members of the underprivileged class, represented by the Bennet family, are considered uncouth, but ambitious to 'sneak' into upper class,l through marriage, members of the privileged upper class, exemplified by characters such as Lady Catherine and the Bingley family, are thought to be proud and domineering. As a result, there is hardly a union between members of both classes. When there is, it is often not because of love, but for material gains. However, these stereotypic order is defied by a few characters in the novel. Contrary to popular belief, Elizabeth marries Darcy mainly for love. She refuses to conform to societal dictates regarding marriage. Although she was brought up in the same culture, and is also guilty of assuming that all those in the upper class are the same, she grows out of this behavior over time. In the same vein, Darcy and Bingley defy the normal attitude expected of the upper class. Although Darcy initially fails to express his feelings for Elizabeth because of the class difference, he eventually develops in character and grows into Jane Austen's ideal member of the upper class. He does not only begin to treat people politely, he ends up proposing to Elizabeth twice before marrying her based on true love.
