Pride and Prejudice was originally titled First Impressions. Discuss how both these titles relate to main themes in the book. Fo
Tom [10]

Answer:

First Impressions, the original title of Jane Austen's novel, relates to the topic of prejudice, because the main characters of the story are deceived by their first impressions.

Elizabeth's first impression of Darcy is terrible. During the ball, she hears him saying (about her) "She is tolerable, but not beautiful enough to tempt me". After this, Lizzie's opinion of Darcy was dreadful, and even more when Wickham tells her that Darcy was responsible of his misfortunes.  Towards the ending of the book, we can see that Elizabeth and Darcy start developing and leave behind their pride and prejudice, and by the end of the story they end up getting married. On the other hand, Elizabeth has a very good first impression of Wickham, but he ends up taking advantage of her sister and playing with her own feelings.

The title "Pride and Prejudice" is a title that Jane Austen is adviced to give to her book, because her previous book was "Sense and Sensibility" and it was very successful, so using a similar structure on this book could be a good way to advertise it.

Pride and prejudice are the two main traits of the characters of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth is very prejudiced towards Darcy, especially after that first ball in which he barely dances and she hears him saying what was stated above. When Wickham tells her that Darcy didn't allow him to inherit the properties that Darcy's father promised him, she is quick to believe him (although she has no idea of who this Wickham is). When Elizabeth talks about Wickham with Darcy, the latter says that Wickham is <u><em>"blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his making friends, whether he may be equally capable of retaining them is less certain" </em></u>. As the story develops, we learn that Wickham is a very negative character that took advantage of Georgiana Darcy (Darcy's sixteen year old sister) and then he does the same with Lydia Bennet, but Darcy saves her by giving them some money so that they could get married.

Darcy needs to face his pride in order to finally propose to Elizabeth. He belongs to a different sphere than Lizzie, he is very rich in comparison to her and his family expects him to marry someone of the same class. Moreover, his attitudes were openly questioned by Elizabeth more than once. By the time he takes courage and proposes, Elizabeth says no. At that time, women wouldn't give their opinions so freely, and they wouldn't say no to a man's proposal. Elizabeth says no to Mr. Collins proposal and to the first proposal by Mr. Darcy.  Marriage was a (if not "the") safest place for a woman. But Elizabeth standards were different than those of other women, she believed that love was more important than just marrying for stability.

Once Elizabeth learns that Darcy saved her sister and her family's reputation, and he fixes the situation with Jane and Mr. Bingley; Her prejudice and pride fade completly, because she learns the truth about Darcy's character. This change in her attitude is what makes her say "yes" to the second proposal by Mr. Darcy.

What’s the answer?????
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

According to all known laws

of aviation,

 

there is no way a bee

should be able to fly.

 

Its wings are too small to get

its fat little body off the ground.

 

The bee, of course, flies anyway

 

because bees don't care

what humans think is impossible.

 

Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

 

Ooh, black and yellow!

Let's shake it up a little.

 

Barry! Breakfast is ready!

 

Ooming!

 

Hang on a second.

 

Hello?

 

- Barry?

- Adam?

 

- Oan you believe this is happening?

- I can't. I'll pick you up.

 

Looking sharp.

 

Use the stairs. Your father

paid good money for those.

 

Sorry. I'm excited.

 

Here's the graduate.

We're very proud of you, son.

 

A perfect report card, all B's.

 

Very proud.

 

Ma! I got a thing going here.

 

- You got lint on your fuzz.

- Ow! That's me!

 

- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.

- Bye!

 

Barry, I told you,

stop flying in the house!

 

- Hey, Adam.

- Hey, Barry.

 

- Is that fuzz gel?

- A little. Special day, graduation.

 

Never thought I'd make it.

 

Three days grade school,

three days high school.

 

Those were awkward.

 

Three days college. I'm glad I took

a day and hitchhiked around the hive.

 

You did come back different.

 

- Hi, Barry.

- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.

 

- Hear about Frankie?

- Yeah.

 

- You going to the funeral?

- No, I'm not going.

 

Everybody knows,

sting someone, you die.

 

Don't waste it on a squirrel.

Such a hothead.

 

I guess he could have

just gotten out of the way.

 

I love this incorporating

an amusement park into our day.

 

That's why we don't need vacations.

 

Boy, quite a bit of pomp...

under the circumstances.

 

- Well, Adam, today we are men.

- We are!

 

- Bee-men.

- Amen!

 

Hallelujah!

 

Students, faculty, distinguished bees,

 

please welcome Dean Buzzwell.

 

Welcome, New Hive Oity

graduating class of...

 

...9:15.

 

That concludes our ceremonies.

 

And begins your career

at Honex Industries!

 

Will we pick ourjob today?

 

I heard it's just orientation.

 

Heads up! Here we go.

 

Keep your hands and antennas

inside the tram at all times.

 

- Wonder what it'll be like?

- A little scary.

 

Welcome to Honex,

a division of Honesco

 

and a part of the Hexagon Group.

 

This is it!

 

Wow.

 

Wow.

 

We know that you, as a bee,

have worked your whole life

 

to get to the point where you

can work for your whole life.

 

Honey begins when our valiant Pollen

Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.

 

Our top-secret formula

 

is automatically color-corrected,

scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured

 

into this soothing sweet syrup

 

with its distinctive

golden glow you know as...

 

Honey!

 

- That girl was hot.

- She's my cousin!

 

- She is?

- Yes, we're all cousins.

 

- Right. You're right.

- At Honex, we constantly strive

 

to improve every aspect

of bee existence.

 

These bees are stress-testing

a new helmet technology.

 

- What do you think he makes?

- Not enough.

 

Here we have our latest advancement,

the Krelman.

 

- What does that do?

- Oatches that little strand of honey

 

that hangs after you pour it.

Saves us millions.

 

Oan anyone work on the Krelman?

 

Of course. Most bee jobs are

small ones. But bees know

 

that every small job,

if it's done well, means a lot.

 

But choose carefully

 

because you'll stay in the job

you pick for the rest of your life.

 

The same job the rest of your life?

I didn't know that.

 

What's the difference?

 

You'll be happy to know that bees,

as a species, haven't had one day off

 

in 27 million years.

 

So you'll just work us to death?

 

We'll sure try.

 

Wow! That blew my mind!

 

"What's the difference?"

How can you say that?

 

One job forever?

That's an insane choice to have to make.

 

I'm relieved. Now we only have

to make one decision in life.

 

But, Adam, how could they

never have told us that?

 

Why would you question anything?

We're bees.

 

We're the most perfectly

functioning society on Earth.

 

You ever think maybe things

work a little too well here?

 

Like what? Give me one example.

 

I don't know. But you know

what I'm talking about.

 

Please clear the gate.

Royal Nectar Force on approach.

 

Wait a second. Oheck it out.

 

- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!

- Wow.

 

I've never seen them this close.

 

They know what it's like

outside the hive.

 

Yeah, but some don't come back.

 

- Hey, Jocks!

- Hi, Jocks!

 

You guys did great!

 

You're monsters!

You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!

 

- I wonder where they were.

- I don't know.

 

Their day's not planned.

 

Outside the hive, flying who knows

where, doing who knows what.

 

You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen

Jock. You have to be bred for that.
