The novel “Pride and Prejudice” is a story based in 19th century‚ at the end of the age of reason and at the beginning of the era of romance.

In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice‚ the theme of appearance versus reality is recurrent. Austen seeks to prove that often one’s appearance hides one’s true character.

Jane Austen uses satire in Pride and Prejudice to highlight the hidden importance of acceptance and power through the use of the pompous character of Mr. Collins. Throughout the novel Austen uses irony to satirize Mr. Collins. While attempting to propose to Elizabeth‚ she attempts to escape the room.

He cannot believe the possibility that any
