Pride and Predjudice Chapters 6-9

Quote 1:
"Five daughters successively entered the world, but yet the son was to come; and Mrs. Bennet, for many years after Lydia's birth had been certain that he would. This event had at last been despaired of, but it was then too late to be saving" (Austen 234).

Analysis 1:
Disappointment is a misfortune that everyone is forced to deal with sooner or later in life. Tolerable disappointment stems from small failures such as losing a low-stake gamble or losing at a sport. Mr. Bennet is suffering from the massive failure of premeditated goals. All other aspects of Mr. Bennets life revolved around the fact that he would live comfortably and be able to provide for his family. Mr. Bennet had become complacent in the midst of his smooth sailing toward his goal. His dreams are now shipwrecked and only his entire family was on the boat.

Quote 2:
"Had Lydia's marriage been concluded on the most honourable terms, it was not to be supposed that Mr. Darcy would connect himself with a family. where to ever other objection would now be added, an alliance and relationship of the nearest kind with the man whom he so justly scorned"(Austen 236).

Analysis 2:
Many literary components are employed to create a great novel. This quote truly emphasises just how the story is climbing to its climax and how Austen creates such an epic romance. Lizzie is completely oblivious to Mr. Darcy's love for her and is convinced Mr. Darcy could not overcome her insults and rejections. In spite of class, insult, and society Mr. is will to put all of that aside for Elizabeth. The novel does not illustrate two perfect people with perfect familys who are perfectly agreeable. The novel highlights strenous obstacles that are highly intersting and lead to a most perfect love.
