Marriage Proposal in Pride and Prejudice Essay -- Pride Prejudice Essa

Marriage Proposal in Pride and Prejudice During Pride and Prejudice there are six examples of joinproposals to consider. Throughout this examine I am going to becommenting on the proposals between Mr Darcy and Lizzie the firsttime, Mr Collins and Lizzie, Mr Collins and Char clusteringte as well as MrBingley and Jane, Wickham and Lydia and the second proposal of MrDarcy to Lizzie. Whilst tone at these proposals I will also beanalysing the aspects of Love, Money, the relative status and classand the views of others, which might have influence within theseproposals.The first proposal I am going to analyse is Mr Darcy to Lizzie. MrDarcy proposed to Lizzie in Kent at Mr Collins and Charlottes housewhen Lizzie was visiting them for a few weeks and Mr Darcy was stayingwith Lady Catherine De Bourgh, his aunt. Mr Darcy and Lizzie werefirst acquainted with one other at Netherfields, which is theneighbouring estate to Longbourne, Lizzies family house. They met ata b alone, which was held by the new lodger Mr Bingley at Netherfields,and Mr Darcy was there as a friend of Mr Bingleys who hosting theball for his new comer to the village. Lizzie and Darcy didnt geton at first as Lizzie imagination he was arrogant and unsociable. But MrDarcys dislike for Lizzie gradually grew to love for her. It seemsthat the continuation of this dislike was all a cover for his realfeelings as he did not want to love or marry a woman who was downstairshim in every state, money and status and especially the views ofothers would of discouraged him to act upon his feelings for Lizzie ashe was thought of as much more superior to Lizzie and her family andat that time it was thought of as wrong or unheard of to mar... ...an to get married over that age.There were also many issues that a woman had to think about in advancethey got married, whether they were in love which wasnt a major issuebut it was though of as a bonus if they were. Money and status playeda commodious role in deciding who t o marry, rich men went for women of thesame class or a bit higher which made it difficult for woman of alower class or without much wealth to marry a wealthier or higherclassed man. It was thought of as unethical to marry someone beneathyou in any state. The influence of others played a big role in thosedays as people were put under a lot of pressure to get married as soonas possible and to someone higher up the society ladder. As you cansee the attitudes to marriage in the 19th Century in which thesecharacters lived in is very different to the attitudes in which welive in today.
