You could always read the book. It's funny and it's well worth it.





Summary: Mrs Bennet is empty-headed and all she wants out of life is to find rich husbands for her daughters. Her husband is intelligent but sometimes has no common sense. Austen describes him as a true philosopher who, having discovered he had married a stupid woman (and remember, divorce in those days required an Act of Parliament and would make you a social outcast for the rest of your life), gets his enjoyment in life out of making fun of her. Mrs Bennet is so dim-witted, she barely even realises he is laughing at her. (Lizzy, of course, being very like him and also highly intelligent, does realise and does not approve, much as she loves her father.)

Pride and Prejudice, like most of Jane Austen's works, employs the narrative technique of free indirect speech. This has been defined as ';the free representation of a character's speech, by which one means, not words actually spoken by a character, but the words that typify the character's thoughts, or the way the character would think or speak, if she thought or spoke';. By using narrative which adopts the tone and vocabulary of a particular character (in this case, that of Elizabeth), Austen invites the reader to follow events from Elizabeth's viewpoint, sharing her prejudices and misapprehensions and being surprised along with her when events prove these to be mistaken. ';The learning curve, while undergone by both protagonists, is disclosed to us solely through Elizabeth's point of view and her free indirect speech is essential... for it is through it that we remain caught, if not stuck, within Elizabeth's misprisions.';
