1. Pride and Prejudice.

2. Jane Austin.

3. The book is a novel.

4. The time is not mentioned in the book but the book was finished in 1812. So the story probably takes place in the nineteenth century.

5. Great Britain. In the houses of the important persons in the story: Bennet's house: Loungbourn, and Bingley's house: Netherfield. Mr Darcy' s house: Pemberly.

6. About one and a half-years.

7. Elisabeth Bennet. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

8. Elisabeth Bennet: She is pretty and not very rich, but not poor either. She comes out of a large family: four sisters. She gives the intention of being a sensible, nice person. She does not lose her self-control very fast, but when she looses it she is really mad with a good reason.
Fitzwilliam Darcy is a rich hansome gentleman. He is the cousin of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. He is a "sir" so he does not work for living.

9. No, the character names are always used.

10. The characters are mostly, but not always, having conversations. They also write a lot of letters.

11. Yes, but the conflicts are very innocent because the characters are not fighting. They do occasionally converse in a less than affable manner, although this does not occur frequently.

12. If that would be the point it would not be very clear. The point would be: 'How difficult it is to know how a persons 'feelings are.'

13. It is in a serious mood because it is about somebody's life and I consider that serious.

14. The time is strictly chronological, as in a diary. The are, therefore, no flash backs or anything of the kind.

15. The moment Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy asks Elisabeth Bennet to marry him is the most important event because they are the main characters and the book is about how their relationships evolve.

16. The book has a very happy ending because they marry each other after all.

17. Yes, It is about someone's life and there are no impossible events in the book.

18. Yes. The book is a love story and, as I already indicated, it is about Elisabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy.

19. It's a love story.

20. I liked both main characters. Elisabeth: She is really smart and she is always polite to everyone. She knows what she wants and does not marry someone for money. Mr Darcy: Elisabeth refused him, because she didn't love him. I felt badly because I thought they really fit together, and because he was always nice to everyone.

21. I had some trouble sometimes but that was because there were some very long sentences and too many unknown words.

22. Yes. I loved reading this book. I am fond of love stories and I like the way it was written. I was able to identify with the main characters because if the extensive character development, and because I liked their personalities.

23. An outline of the Book Pride and Prejudice.

Elisabeth Bennet lives with her Parents and four sisters, Mary, Kitty, Jane and Lydia, in Loungbourn. She lives in the time where it was normal to marry for money and so she and her sisters were looking for husbands.
The girls went to a ball and there they met Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley. Mr. Bingley seemed interested in Jane, who is Elisabeth's sister, because he danced with her twice. Mr. Darcy was not so fond of dancing and showed no interest in any of the girls.
He gave Elisabeth, acting like he did, the feeling that he was rude and too proud (pride = trots.) She thought bad of him before she even got to know him (Prejudice = vooroordeel.)
Mr. William Collins, Mr. Bennet's cousin, came to Loungbourn. He stayed there for about a week. He asked Elisabeth to marry him. She refused him, because she didn't love him. He is indignant about it and two days later he asks Charlotte Lucas to marry him and they do. A lot of time passes without anything unusual happening. The girls are still going to balls and there they meet Mr. Wickham and he acts really nice and Elisabeth really likes him.
At this time she does not see that Mr. Darcy is in love with her and he asks her to marry him. Instead of saying yes, she refuses him and tells him that she thinks he is rude and not polite. He writes her a letter to apologise for his behaviour. Elisabeth is surprised by what he writes and she starts to realise that she was thinking badly of him when he wasn't bad at all. She also realised that she loved him. Some time passes and then Elisabeth went away with her aunt and Uncle Gardiner. In the house where she stays she meets Mr. Darcy and they get along quite well. After staying there for a couple of days she receives a letter from home.
It said that her sister Lydia ran away with Mr. Wickham. This was quite a shock for her and she talked about it to Mr. Darcy who comforted her and helped her in this hard time.
A day or two later, Lydia wrote the family a letter to announce that she was now married to Mr. Wickham. So that problem was solved.
Mr. Darcy went to Elisabeth's father to ask for her hand and because Mr. Darcy was so rich he didn't refuse. Mr. Bennet asked for his daughter to come with him in the library. He told her that Mr. Darcy had asked for her hand and if she wanted to marry him. She had already realised that she loved Mr Darcy so she said: 'yes'.
Jane married Mr. Bingley because she loved him.
