III. Conclusion
Method: Quotation
Introduction: The novel Pride and Prejudice, author Jane Austen, is set in rural England during the Regency Period.
The Regency Period was a time where status, money and connections are very important and marrying for love is not important. During this time, it is common to attend a ball that is being hosted by a member of the upper class. It is at a ball where Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy initially meet, and where they begin to have feelings for each other. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice illustrates several kinds of marriages, but the reader is left with the impression that marriages of love and suitability are the kinds of marriages for which one should
wish.
Conclusion: The problem with the Bennets’ and the Collins’ marriages are that both parties in the relationship do not love and respect each other, therefore, they are not happy. When Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth first meet, and when Mr. Darcy first proposes, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have not learned how to enjoy each other's differences and how to look past each other's faults. Until Elizabeth reads the letter from Darcy and looks past her prejudices, she does not truly appreciate or respect him. It is only after both respect each other that they fall into a deep love the Austen admires and recommends. As David Meurer once said, “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”
