Choose one character from Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice and develop an analytical essay that
argues your interpretation of the character’s behavior demonstrating a clear picture oflate eighteenth-
century (early nineteenth-century) culture of class, money, and manners. You will determine your
conclusions based on the character’s actions and conversations with other characters in the novel.
Develop your character study with at least three examples from the text in which the character shows
her/his views on class, money, and manners in specific circumstances and with other characters.
Describe each of the three situations with enough details to provide a context for your analysis. It is
important to consider the chronological order of these events in your discussion. Remember you are
proving through your interpretation based on evidence from the text that what you claim to be true about
the character can also convince your reader.
