Comparing Austen's Pride And Prejudice

Isolation There are a few lonely characters in The Great Gatsby, the first being Jordan Baker who tells the narrator Nick Carraway that she prefers larger over smaller parties because she believes they are more intimate. The next being Nick Carraway who feels as if he just doesn't fit in with the rich crowd. Marriage The marriages that we see in The Great Gatsby are not full of your stereotypical thoughts of marriage like love or loyalty. The only marriages that are shown to us are filled with adultery and disatisfaction. Education In the time era of The Great Gatsby being educated was very important to be apart of the social elite.

Their wealth within the novel and movie play very massive roles. If Emma and Cher were not wealthy they wouldn't find themselves apart of the rich, upscale societies that are in England and California. Both of the woman abuse there fathers wealth and become spoiled, self involved girls, where Emma “thinks a little too well of herself.” (5) They get exactly what they want, when they want it. Emma and Cher both find themselves playing the role as matchmaker with there groups of friends. Many people thought “she,” meaning Emma, “would form her opinions and her manners."

After some light conversations, Rochester has found himself in love with Jane because of her mind. He ignores her “plainness” and finds her true beauty to be her personality (Bronte 177). Jane is just an orphan and Rochester is a wealthy, well respected man. In the Victorian era, their significant social class difference posed a challenge for their relationship. Rochester fights the social norms and tries to marry Jane no matter what.

However, Mary, coming from a wealthy family, hesitates in proceeding with marriage as she disapproves of the low income Edmund earns as a clergyman. This suggests that the level of income took a very prominent role in the decision making process of marriage. Mary rejects Edmund on the basis of his low paid job and this emplifies the fact that wealth took precedence over true love and affection. This is evident in our re-interpretation where Abimbola, like Mary, expresses disgust at Ednest’s (Edmund) poverty and inferior status, pitching herself at a superior level over him by stating the fact that she works at a high profile company, while Ednest has no means of attaining any form of material wealth. She aligns to the belief that money can buy happiness, suggesting wealth as the sole yardstick for true contentment, which reflects the shallow practical beliefs of the Victorian society then.

Of the six advantages Swift enumerates, one might consider the sixth as the most sardonic since it is absurd for a mother to breed their own child to a heavy weight for economic gain. Also, the description of the relationship between husbands and wives improving since men would no longer beat their wives because they view them as cattle raising their profit. Moreover, Swift’s ridiculous proposition that an advantage would be the competition between parents to produce the “the fattest child to the market”. Swift uses the essay to satirize both his subject and his political proposal by using irony to resolve the issue of the Irish people’s economic struggle. His immoral proposal shocks the readers and forces them to think about the issues Ireland was facing specifically the tyranny of the upper class.

For example, just like Jody, Tea Cake also physically abuses Janie to display his authority over her. What makes Janie 's relationship with Tea Cake different from her other relationships is that it is based on a love that runs much deeper than her motivation in staying in her other relationships. Janie married Logan in search of love. She married Jody in search of wealth and his ambition. When both of these relationships failed, she entered into her relationship with Tea Cake with low expectations.

They are heavily looked down upon if they give birth to a female. Sons are more highly valued, and they are the only ones who can inherit the father’s wealth, and pass down the name. If there is no male child in the family, the family is considered pity and contempt. Azita dealt with social pressure personally by feeling forced to have a son. Mrs. Rafaat faced constant pressure to try and try again to have a son but failed and ended up

Greed also is shown in La Rapet’s payment; she exploits the farmer and demands a high price for her service although she knows the man is going through hard time. The short story lightens the relationship between mother and son as she encourages him to harvest the corn over spending time together before she dies and how he prefers money to his own mother which also highlights the theme of ungratefulness.Sympathy and passion is embodied in the doctor’s care and his insistence on using the help of someone to accompany the woman in her last moments though she is not related to him. Theme of alienation is evident in the farmer's need to any one to take care of his mother, a matter which indicates that they do not have any relatives or

In Pride and Prejudice, social classes divided the country of England into wealthy and poor, and each class was to abide by certain social rules. Usually, the poor and the wealthy were not meant to intertwine in marriage but they could speak and dance at balls that were hosted. In the famous English romance novel by Jane Austen, five girls must marry off before their father dies and lose their house to their cousin, Mr. Collins. The plot of the novel is set between the second-born daughter, Elizabeth Bennet and a wealthy man by the name of Mr. Darcy. Both of them come off as prejudicial to each other at the beginning, with Mr. Darcy telling Mr. Bingley that he won’t dance with a woman that has been eyed by another man.

Both Kalyani and Shripati are forced into a loveless marriage by her. It is a clear dig at the conservative society where marriage and son are the only things that matter. Through the portrayal of the second generation pair, Kalyani and Shripati, Deshpande depicts the predicament of women who are confined in the framework of traditional marriage and lead a life of self-denial and suffering. Kalyani’s life is an example of forced incompatible arranged marriage in which a woman has to suffer endlessly. Even if marriage fails in giving happiness of any kind to woman, it is preferred because it gives a security and a sense of dignity to woman in society.
