The answer these questions.1. Did Darcy really dislike Elizabeth?Darcy did not really dislike Elizabeth. In refusing to dance with her, he was showing his pride in his own position and fortune.2. Why did Elizabeth dislike Darcy?
3. Who realized his/ her mistake first?Elizabeth disliked Darcy because she
thought he was too proud and he treated
people less rich than himself with (like
Mr Wickham) contempt.Darcy realized his mistake first as he
got to know Elizabeth better.4. What made Elizabeth change her
mind?Elizabeth change her mind when he
began to treat her more kindly and
helped one of her sisters.I sympathize with Elizabeth as it was very difficult for women at that time.
(At that time, a woman’s only career was marriage as all men were considered as future husbands according to their wealth. But Elizabeth is different from other women because she is determined to marry only for love. 5. Who do you sympathize with more:
Darcy or Elizabeth? Give your reasons.This is the reason she amazes Darcy when she refuses him when he proposes to her the first time. He certainly feels that he will be accepted because he is rich. In following this course of action Elizabeth is risking a poor life in the future but she is prepared for that and sticks to her principles.) I learn that women’s beauty is not the only thing that attracts men to a future marriage partner. Having integrity and good principles can be as attractive as a beautiful face and figure.6. What can you learn from this romance?Listening textThe story of Pride and Prejudice was written by Jane Austin. It is a tale of mistaken first impressions. Mr Darcy first meets the heroine, Elizabeth, at a small country dance. THE STORY OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICEHe is a very rich and important person so that at first everybody is very excited to meet him. But as they discover he really does not want to join in an entertainment that is for people of lower social rank, they soon lose interest. In particular he refuses todance with Elizabeth whom he thinks is not important enough or pretty enough for him. In doing this he shows his pride.
Elizabeth, for her part, dislikes Mr Darcy immediately when she hears why he doesn’t want to dance with her. This dislike increases when she gets to know Mr Wickham who seems to have beenbadly treated by Darcy. Finally it becomes prejudice when she discovers that Darcy has tried to stop his friend from marrying Elizabeth’s sister, Jane. As a result Elizabeth shows her prejudice against Mr Darcy.
The story follows Elizabeth and Darcy’s romance and that of two of her sisters. Darcy quickly recovers from his pride and discovers Elizabeth’s character and beauty. He proposes to her but Elizabeth refuses him. He realizes she is not a woman who is impressed by wealth or status. Gradually his kindness to one of her sisters convinces Elizabeth that he is a man whom she could love. At the end of the novel both admit that their initial impressions were wrong as pride and prejudice finally turn into love and trust. “THE PROPOSAL” FROM
PRIDE AND PREJUDICEReadingSkim the text quickly and answer these questions below.1 Why did Elizabeth refuse Mr Darcy?Elizabeth refuse Mr Darcy because she
did not like or love Darcy.2Why was Mr Darcy sure that she would accept him?Mr Darcy was sure she would accept him
Because he was so rich.Read the text carefully. Now imagine you
are Elizabeth’s father and wish her
happiness. You understand that there
may be personal reasons for her to refuse
Mr Darcy’s proposal. However, you also
recognize that there are many reasons for
Elizabeth to accept him. Fill in the chart
below that Mr Bennet can judge if
Elizabeth has made the correct decision. 1 Elizabeth isn’t in love with him.1 He loves her.2 She knows he has prevented her sisiter marring a man she is in love with.2 He is rich and her family is poor.3 He is important so her sisters will have the chance of meeting other rich men to marry3 She thinks he has behaved badly to a friend of hers.4 Marriage is the only way girls could improve their social position and get more monry.4 He is very pound and rude to everyone he meets who isn’t as rich or important as he is. He may be unkind to Elizabeth if they got married.Now make a dialogue between Elizabeth and her father. They have to consider why Elizabeth cannot marry Darcy and what her mother will say. You should include both of these ideas in your dialogue. The following expressions may be useful.I understand how you feel, but…
