Jane Austen takes an ambivalent position in literary history. It is not enough, a writer of the nineteenth century, the name "romantic" referred to much of a person of his time classic. His contemporaries, such as Wordsworth and Charlotte Bronte found in his works, a lack of feeling, passion and imagination. Edward Fitzgerald complains that:
"You never leave the Parlour"
The twentieth century has seen, but Jane Austen raised by critics of various shades to one of the best novelists and women, she wrote six novels, which counted all are considered classics, with at least three of them the best in English fiction. Of all the novels of Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice" and is the largest task. It shows its size and aesthetic limits for the different colors and aspects of human life. The novel takes the reader on an abstract idea, the idea of pride in a kind and prejudices of others. Thus, the novel is concerned mainly with ideas. The characters of the novel to show different kinds of humor, various functions of the human behaviour.Mr.Bennet a cynical flirtatious Lydia, Mary, a pedant, a character of Darcy bursting with pride, vanity potential for Collins, Sir William Lucas, a little clumsy and so on. "Pride and Prejudice" is a love story between a man and a woman and the man from the indomitable pride and prejudice blinded by women in prison. In addition, it is a satire on life in a small village called Longbourn in the South of England. Thus the novel in more senses than one is important. It is important both historically and critically. Historically it was introduced a new kind of fiction. Eighteenth century was an age of picturesque romances with beautiful squares, towers and underground passages. It was a time in the history of terror, horror and mystery. were written in contrast to these novels, love stories full of tears and grief. Austen's "Pride & Prejudice" is a compromise between the two beaten. This novel was to "write Sense and Sensibility" and "Northanger Abbey". It is therefore a symmetry that combines a good and uniform structure. It may be as the first novel in the English language as such. Jane follows no traditions of his predecessors. She founded right to its own tradition of fiction that followed by other successive novelists of England. The first chapter of Romans contains a note of the orchestration. various elements were subordinated to a definite plan. The chapter begins with the declaration:
"It is a truth universally acknowledged,
This man in possession of a
Happiness must be in need of women "
And then follows the conversation between Mr and Mrs.Bennet. The only concern of women
Bennet in his life, is married their daughters. The entire novel is on the national issue. A player tries to close up to the action, quick movement, drama or crisis, would be disappointed. The characters seem to take up the Philosopher. "Action trivial, limited movement" is all that we find in the novel.
Therefore, the appearance of the characters and devitalized anemic, sometimes without flesh and blood. There are no fireworks or the dynamics of history. Jane is a spectator of characters. It turns men and women in a given environment and places them in detail to investigate. It offers alternative readings of his characters, compares them and finally found the right method of approach to human personality. This method has been followed in this novel. There are many elements in contemporary fiction. Description of dances, balls and parties are scattered throughout history. The essential point of the book is the study of human behavior. Jane almost like Shakespeare in that regard. It is clear, apart from death, by chance or fate. None of the characters dies in the story. Elizabeth, Lydia, Jane, Mary and Catherine Bennet sisters are all concerned about their own problems, domestic. None of them is affected by physical pain or illness.
As in the case of Darcy, Bingley, Collins, Sir William Lucas. In addition, there is total absence of the quantity or the threat of organized society. It is a quiet atmosphere of the quiet country houses and salons, which are found in the novel from beginning to end. Longbourn, Pemberley Hansford or did not rush or excitement about it. "Pride and Prejudice" was first written in 1797 under the title "First Impressions". It was subsequently revised and published under the title in 1823. In the novel, not the first impression to play an important role, Elizabeth, the protagonist, is wrong in his choice and the estimation of both Darcy and Wickham. His eyes and his sympathy for him and his hostility and prejudice against Darcy are due to first impressions. But if we study the novel deeply and seriously, we can easily see that the title of the fittest and most worthy of them. The novel is about the "Pride" by Darcy and "damage" with Elizabeth and Darcy's change of setting and correction of Elizabeth's first impressions.
With respect to the subject, the focus of Jane Austen's marriage and the court. The marriage was an important social concerns in times of Jane Austen, and she was fully aware of the disadvantages of remaining single. In a letter to Fanny Knight, she wrote:
"Single women have a terrible tendency
To be poor, which is a very strong
Argument for marriage "
Charlotte Lucas, a prominent figure in this novel are reasons to believe Mr. Collins, Elizabeth said:
I am not romantic you know. I've never been before,
I ask only a comfortable home, and in view
Mr. Collins character, connections and status
In life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness
With him is as fair as the majority of people can boast of
The early state of marriage. "
This statement reflects the inability of Charlotte, because of its economic inequality, it has been forced to unwanted admirer, like Collins, by accepting what we can look into the social life of that time in England, shows plight of women in a male-dominated society. The marriage was the only provision for well-educated young women small fortune. The only option for unmarried women in Austen's time, it was for children by someone other than Jane Austen was concern itself, as there are no opportunities for women in industry, trade, business or education. The novel consists of seven marriages to reveal all the requirements for a "good" and "bad" marriage. Three couples, as Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and Charlotte Collins, Lydia and Wickham reveal bad marriage and the importance of common sense and common sense in determining the future happiness of a couple. Mutual respect, the foundation of a marriage of his lack of marriage, Bennet. Prudence alone should not dictate, as in the case of Charlotte, it should not be neglected, which is not Lydia. Esteem, are common sense and mutual affection, the right ingredients for a successful marriage, marriage, says Elizabeth Darcy. Austen is firmly convinced that to make the right verdict, we must have the right principles and the perception of the nature of other people. We must be able to see through the assignment, deception and hypocrisy: You need a victim of flattery, it must not be carried away by the opinions of others. Austen's fiction is steeped in irony in language and situation. As has been noted that Prof.Chevalier:
"The fundamental irony of all is
A contrast between reality and
Appearance "
Here, in this novel we see the recurring irony of situation that offers a twist to the story. Darcy remarks about Elizabeth that:
"It is not nice enough to tempt me"
We enjoy the taste of this ironic statement much later when one considers that the woman was not beautiful enough to dance with was really good to marry. In view of this novel, the irony of character is more important that the irony of the situation. It is ironic that Elizabeth is proud of his collection completely blinded by his own prejudices and make a mistake in the assessment of complex evil characters. Wickham appears Suave and charming, but it is ironically one of the unscrupulous thief. Darcy seems proud and arrogant, but, paradoxically, turns out to be a true gentleman. The Bingley sisters hate their Bennet's vulgarity, but are even vulgar in their behavior. Darcy is too critical of the Bennet family poorly educated, but, ironically, his aunt, Lady Catherine is just as mean and rude. So rich the novel in the irony of the situation.
Austen had a moralist, an eighteenth century moralist in some ways it was the last and finest of this century. She was born a few years later, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Scott. When she died, was famous Byron and Shelley and Keats had already been published. It is known at the time as the romantic revival or restoration of imagination, but these options are not at least sound. His novels are essentially in the Age of Johnson and Cowper. It really is a classic writer. There is no compulsion or emotion without an excess of passion in the romantic. All these are disciplined by reason and intellect. This style is seen as much in his dialogues in the structure. But there is virtually no description of nature, in contrast to Jane Austen Wordsworth and Coleridge, of the divine nature. Jane Austen's novels are characterized by the occupation with all the upper middle class, which marks the fact that they knew the class was intimately can be attributed. Reading the novels of Jane Austen shows that the materials are very limited in themselves. Its purpose is to the manners of a small part of the aristocracy, who were apparently never about death or sex, hunger, war, guilt, or God is concerned. However, the exclusion and limitations are intentional. Austen herself refers to her work as "two inches of ivory" novel, like the other novels of Jane Austen has a close physical. The story revolves around Netherfield Park, Longbourn, and Pemberley Meryton Hansford Parsonage. There is no reference to nature. This is one of the ironies of English literary history to a time when the English Romantics Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats and others, the discovery of external nature, Austen, in order to keep his characters trapped inside managed. Since its parameters on the premises of the drawings, dance halls, parks and gardens which are a civilized leisure class, she has little chance of the introduction of fools, villains or ghosts. The greatest baseness that disturb the regularity of a novel by Jane Austen is a collection of Wickham and Lydia. Austen theme was also limited to love and marriage. In all six novels, there are beautiful girls waiting only real right to marry. It was the time of the war of American independence, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. But Jane Austen's characters are unaware of these turbulent events.
In short, we can say that is perfect in the art of his limited number of Jane Austen. He managed the events and characters, dialogue and action with a touch of exquisite and masterful blend of all elements in the novel in a single weaving and braiding so beautiful, no strands can be separated. In his "Two inches of ivory" Jane carves with a fine miniature polished and refined work of art.
