What tells the story about the society of that time?

I think, this book tells us how the society of that time was in a realistic way. Well, the book is about some families which lives at the countryside and which are part of the higher society. I think, they are part of the third class but rich nevertheless. None of them have to work. So, even if the families were rich and they all were part of the high society, the all wanted to marry someone which is richer and more influential than themselves. They didn’t marry because of love, they married each other because of money etc.

And there were a lot of ideas of how you have to be and to present yourself. A woman should not walk by herself, a woman should always be polite and never be cheeky. The ideas of manners were a lot stricter than they are today.

    Again: Please make sure to copy the whole question you're answering into the entry and to write down how many words you wrote. Even though here you wrote your own question, which is fine too.
    Good entry! What do you think is Jane Austen's opinion on the society she lived in? Does she criticize anything? Maybe you could discuss that also at a bookclub meeting.

Describing the characters from the book. What do you like/dislike about them? Characterization Mrs. and Mr. Bennet They are a married couple but I think it isn’t a happy marriage, because the are really different and the always contradict each other. Mrs. Bennet seems like a domineering woman, her only aim is it to see her daughters married. Mr. Bennet doesn’t really like his daughters, except Elizabeth. He thinks his other daughters are silly. But he seems like a man who is down-to-earth and he isn’t interested in backbiting other people in contrast to his wife and daughters.

She isn’t like her sisters, she is sometimes daring and not that silly and that’s the reason, why her father likes her best. Jane Bennet She is the oldest sister.

Movie Review Pride and Prejudice This movie is about the story that is written down in the same named book first published 1813 from the author Jane  Austen. The story both the movie and the book relate is about Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) in the leading role and her way to love. “The business of her life was to get her daughter married.” That is all what Mrs. Bennet wants for her five daughters. And this is it what marriage was 200 years ago: a business. The factors which influenced if you had have a good chance to find a partner for life, were the high of the rank and the amount of money you earn. “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” This famous sentence out of the book of Austen represent the whole story.

Movie Review (Step one and two) step one The hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug December 13, 2013   Sheila O'Malley "Fantasy (in this sense) is, I think, not a lower but a higher form of Art, indeed the most nearly pure form, and so (when achieved) the most potent." - J.R.R. Tolkien, March 8, 1939 lecture "Fairy Stories" Tolkien's parenthetical "when achieved" is the kicker of that statement, the acknowledgement of how difficult and rare successful fantasy really is. You know it when you see it. This reviewer did not find that quality in "An Unexpected Journey", the first installment of Peter Jackson's gigantic trilogy based on Tolkien's slim one-volume classic "The Hobbit," but it is there in spades in part two, "The Desolation of Smaug." This middle chapter is about a half-hour too long, and the final third splits the story up into three pieces, weakening the narrative thrust that had been building,...
