153: Pride And Prejudice - Characters
... the weaknesses of the novel, Pride and Prejudice is that the characters are divided up between those you like and those you don’t. Discuss.

Mr.Collins is the prime example of the differences in appearance and reality. – What one seems to be, is not necessarily what one is.

154: Middlemarchvpride And Prejudic
... had married selfishly, for the insubstantial wealth that the marriage brought to him, as well as to raise his own social status. Wickham's marriage to Lydia is in direct contrast to the marriage of Jane and Mr Bingley, which like Fred and Mary's is based on genuine affection. Jane's kind hearted and unselfish nature is contrasted to Lydia's unthoughtful and loutish behaviour. Pride and Prejudice presents an objective view of the limited options opens to women, for example Charlotte Lucas. The author ... Prejudice, does not have anyone in which she can confide, or whose advice she can rely on about delicate matters.

Such 'moral autonomy' on the part of the young woman would by no means have been universally ...
155: Death And The Maiden
... positive or helpful to the living. There almost seems to be no Western equivalent to the "duty" of Elesin in Death and the King's Horseman. However, Wole Soyinka gives us a comparable situation in Jane's description of a captain blowing up a ship to save the people on the shore. It's a moment of hypocrisy on Britain's part, both trying to prevent Elesin's suicide and lauding a Western suicide which purports to do the exact same thing - save the living from destruction. It's also clear that Olunde sees this ridiculous parallel, but he does not make Jane see the connection. Instead, he lets the matter drop, which, in the Western perspective is puzzling. We want everyone to see the truth and explain it, and think worse of Olunde because of his inability to show Jane what's really going on. But it is really his own unique viewpoint and actions that show that what he does is much smarter than our want of brute force. Olunde's intelligence stems ...

... refers to his studly roommate, Stradlater as a "very sexy bastard" because of his interest in all things related to sex.

He also tells of Henchard's wooing of Farfrae and of his meeting first with Elizabeth-Jane and then with Susan.
