3. What are examples of social class playing a role in how characters interact?

4. Based of the movie, what were some of the expected norms/behavior women were expect for conform to? How does Elizabeth Bennett break out against these roles?

1. Elizabeth has prejudice because she is always characterizing people, and the other guy has pride because he isn't friendly.

2. The girls do all the work mostly. The girls can't own estate so they must marry a man before its too late.

3. Between the main guy and the soldier because he just a foot soldier and the other guy is rich.

4. To do anything a man says. She doesn't marry the pastor.

5. That love still mattered it was just that people didn't see it as love but as a way to become rich. No

1) Elizabeth had the prejudice because she is always seeing people for what they rather than who. Darcy is pretty prideful because of his money and land.

2) The women want to get married because they want money and land but cannot own it because they women.

3) The richer man treats the foot soldier like he is lower than him because he doesn't have the great wealth.

4) The women must listen to a man and do what he wants because she is a woman.

5) The courtship wasn't always out of love, it was actually out of a way to find money. Of course the girls still knew what love was and fell in love rather than just marrying for money.

I really see most of the characters as prejudice. They all make eachother made until the end.

Women couldn't own land so they had to marry people to get by.

The higher class people think they are superior to everyone else.

They just do what they are told. She did the things that she loved.

It was boring and needed to be different. I didn't see much satire in the movie.

1- I think that Elizabeth has the pride because she isn't like Darcey who had the prejudice because he had prejudice upon the lower class people and he always looked down on the lower classes.

2- The women did all the work around the house and they couldn't own estate. So because they couldn't own land, they had to marry someone.

3- There was a character in the movie that didn't want her brother to marry Elizabeth's sister because of the social class differences. Elizabeth breaks out because she declines a proposal.

4- They were expected to marry and to take care of the men, the house, and the children.

5- That love is still around. but the difference between now and then is that its not all about the social class or the riches anymore like then. I don't think that it's satirical in nature.

1. Elizabeth has the prejudice because she is always judging people before getting to know them. Darcy also has the prejudice against lower class people and objects to Jane's marriage to Darcy's friend.

2. Women cannot own land. The women have to marry a man quickly if the father or guardian died. In order for the woman to be considered sophisticated, she had to basically be Wonder woman. Elizabeth resents all of these presumptions that women have to adhere to, but she still takes part in them.

3. The middle class and the lower class didn't have as much nobility as the wealthy and rich.

4. Women were expected to be Wonder woman, they had to be sophisticated.. Elizabeth turned down Mr. Collins hand in marriage, she is very independent.

5. Jane Austen was showing that these arranged marriages are not always for the best. It is satirical nature.

1. Elizabeth has prejudice because she is judging people, and darcy is very prideful because of his amount of money.

2. The women cannot wait to get married to get land and money things that they cannot have if they are not married.

3. The rich man treats the soldier like he is beneath him and not as good as him because he doesnt have as much money.

4. they women must do whatever the man says because the man is in charge of them, and she is very rebellious.

5. She is trying to say that she does not like it and that it is pathetic of women to be like that and yes it is very satirical.
