An Alter Marriage


Marriage is also a topic that seems really interesting. Austen mentions it in the first sentence of the book and, in my opinion, it is the most important theme. What does it represent to each character? Whose side is Austen on? It is probable that the author of a book includes his alter ego. In this case it might be Jane or Elizabeth. All of these questions interest me and would be a good paper topic.

Seeming And Wanting To Impress


Throughout Pride and Prejudice, Austen constantly gives the reader the opportunity to juxtapose being and seeming. We did a little bit of work about this topic in class and it interested me. The only problem is that it can be too extended. I might be able to focus on the being and seeming of a specific character.
