In Pride and Prejudice, Austen explores the conditions that will :: English Literature

In Pride and Prejudice, Austen explores the conditions that willallow for the safe kind of marriage. Which of the marriages do youthink she escorts as likely to be the happiest, and why?In Pride and Prejudice, Austen explores the conditions that shebelieves argon required for true happiness by dint of different couples.The couples that she sees to have promising, gigantic unchangingrelationships are portrayed by characters, which complement onean otherwise. She also shows how ro troopstic feelings can overwhelm us.Couples where parties are in love with each other seem very happy, onlyeven so, Austen shows us that this does not mean a long lastingrelationship. Austen shows what she believes to be the contributingfactors of a happy relationship with longevity, with how sheportrays the chief(prenominal) characters and their relationships.We are first introduced to Mr and Mrs white avens at the beginning of thenovel it is their unlogical personality clash that causes us to look forqualities in their relationship that could stag a good marriagetheir, seemingly, satisfied demeanours must not sea gull us into believingthat theirs is a happy marriage. Unlike most other couples in thenovel, we are able to see the results of time and its effect on theirrelationship. We can see, by the way Mr Bennet freely mocks and teaseshis wife most her poor nerves, that it is a regular occurrence andpossibly has been for a long time. Mr Bennet had been captivated byyouth and beauty but Mrs Bennets weak understanding and illiberalmind prevented any long lasting affection. They show no signs ofbeing in love at this stage however, they both seem to draw vaguecontentment through compromise and small things. For example, when MrBennet proclaimed himself adamant not to bring down Mr Bingley when hisintentions were otherwise. Mr Bennet gets to have his fun and MrsBennet gets to have her daughters introduced to a young man of largefortune. Their relationship is not explored much in the novel, wenever express of much interaction among the two solely. Like CharlotteBennet we see that Mr Bennet spends much of his time in his office, asCharlotte learns to cope by spending time in a back room to subdue herhusband. It seems that even if their marriage was happy in itsbeginnings, it did not have the requirements of a happy long lastingmarriage. I believe Austen thinks their relationship is satisfactorybut not happy.Perhaps the most peculiar, surprising marriage is between CharlotteLucas and Mr Collins. We see nothing of a previous relationship beforeengagement, and the textual matter suggests that there was none.
