Each novel is extremely relevant to the comprehension of the English and Brazilian societies the period in which the books were written. In the first chapter, we present the historical context that influenced the authors, considering the influence of the Georgian era in the work of Jane Austen, besides her strange choice not to join the Romanticism in vogue at the time. We highlight the Bourgeois Romance and its influences in the work of José de Alencar. In the second chapter, we present a comparison between both novels and their main characters based on the book Comparative Literature, by Sandra Nitrini. The third chapter presents an inter-semiotic dialogue between the 2005 movie Pride and Prejudice, directed by Joe Wright and the novel written by Jane Austen. It also brings an inter-semiotic dialogue between the 1976 movie ”Senhora”, directed by Geraldo Vietri, and the novel written by José de Alencar. Both dialogues aim to elucidate the specifications of literary narrative and filmic narrative. / A proposta desta dissertação é promover um diálogo, a partir da Literatura Comparada, sobre mobilidade social nos romances Orgulho e Preconceito, da escritora inglesa, Jane Austen, e Senhora, do escritor brasileiro José de Alencar. Cada romance é de extrema relevância para a compreensão das sociedades inglesa e brasileira do período em que os livros foram escritos. No primeiro capítulo, apresentamos o contexto histórico em que os autores estão inseridos, considerando a influência da era Georgiana na obra de Jane Austen, além de sua curiosa escolha por não aderir ao Romantismo em voga. Ressaltamos a respeito do Romance Burguês e suas influências na obra de José de Alencar. No segundo capítulo, apresentamos a comparação entre os dois romances e suas principais personagens, tendo como base teórica o livro Literatura Comparada, de Sandra Nitrini. O terceiro capítulo apresenta um diálogo intersemiótico entre o filme Orgulho e Preconceito, de 2005, dirigido por Joe Wright e o romance de Jane Austen, o mesmo acontecendo com o filme Senhora, de 1976, dirigido por Geraldo Vietri e o romance de Alencar, com o objetivo de elucidar as especificidades da narrativa literária e da narrativa fílmica.

It portraits the lives of the daughters from the Bennet family, who need to get married in order to maintain themselves. It is a novel about women: it was written by a woman, its narrator has a feminine perspective and focuses on another woman, Elizabeth Bennet. The book also discusses typical female problems in the XIX century England. The persistent retelling of Pride and Prejudice in movies, series, novels indicates how the Austenian work keeps enchanting the public because it discusses topics such as love and people’s ability to judge a character. These are humaninity’s most relevant archetypical preoccupations and, before Austen, they appeared in myths and fairytales such as Cupid and Psyche and Beauty and the Beast. This dissertation aims to analyze Pride and Prejudice comparing it to the Greek myth and French fairytale, focusing on the female initiation processes experienced by Elizabeth, Psyche and Beauty. This dissertation has a qualitative, bibliographical and comparative approach. The most important theoretical texts used to discuss it were Rites and Symbols of Initiation: the mysteries of birth and rebirth (1975) by Mircea Eliade, Jane Eyre’s sisters: how women live and write the heroine’s story (2015) by Jody Bower, The annotated Pride and Prejudice (2012) by Jane Austen with notes by David Shapard, Caminho para a iniciação feminina (1985) by Sylvia Perera and O poder do mito (1990) de Joseph Campbell. As a result, it is possible to conclude that the female initiation has a prominent role in this Austenian novel and makes it possible to be constantly reread. / A obra mais famosa de Jane Austen, Orgulho e Preconceito, foi publicada em 1813. Seu enredo retrata o cotidiano da família Bennet, especialmente a situação das filhas da família, as quais precisam se casar para poder se manter. É um romance sobre mulheres, escrito por uma mulher. Sob a perspectiva de uma narradora, conta a história de Elizabeth Bennet, além de discutir problemas tipicamente femininos do século XIX inglês. A recorrência da atualização ou da releitura de Orgulho e Preconceito em livros, filmes e outras mídias demostra que a obra mantém o encantamento do público leitor por tratar de temas essencialmente humanos, como o amor ou o pré-julgamento, reacendendo preocupações arquetípicas do ser humano, em seu ser e estar no mundo. Esses mesmos temas foram representados, muito antes de Austen, em mitos e contos de fadas, como Cupido e Psiquê ou a Bela e a Fera. O objetivo desta dissertação é a análise de Orgulho e Preconceito de Jane Austen como releitura do mito e do conto de fadas. O trabalho desenvolvido tem caráter bibliográfico, qualitativo e comparativo. No decorrer da análise, foram levantados os mitemas recorrentes que se apresentam nas três narrativas, e enfocado o percurso iniciático feminino vivenciado tanto por Elizabeth Bennet quanto por Psiquê e Bela. Os referenciais teóricos mais relevantes para a pesquisa foram Rites and Symbols of Initiation: the mysteries of birth and rebirth (1975) de Mircea Eliade, Jane Eyre’s sisters: how women live and write the heroine’s story (2015) de Jody Bower, The annotated Pride and Prejudice (2012) de Jane Austen com anotações de David Shapard, Caminho para a iniciação feminina (1985) de Sylvia Perera e O poder do mito (1990) de Joseph Campbell, entre outros. Concluiu-se que o desenvolvimento feminino no romance austeniano tem aspecto fundamental para a construção da obra e sua consequente atualização.

This study examines the settings in Jane Austen's six novels. Chapter I introduces the topic generally, and refers briefly to Jane Austen's aims and methods of creating her settings. Short accounts are given of the emphasis put on setting in the criticism of Jane Austen's work; of the chronology of the novels; and of the use made of this aspect of the novel in eighteenth-century predecessors. Chapter II deals with the treatment of place in Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. The consideration of five novels together makes it possible to generalize about aspects of place common to all , and to discuss particulars peculiar to individual novels without, I hope, excessive repetition. The chapter may be thought disproportionately long, but this aspect of setting is most prominent and important in the delineation of character. Chapter III discusses the handling of spatial detail and time in these five novels. Chapter IV offers a fuller analysis of what is the chief concern of this thesis, the nature and function of setting, in respect of the single novel Persuasion, and attempts to draw together into a coherent whole some of the points made in Chapters II and III. Persuasion separates conveniently from the other works, not only because it was written after them, but more importantly because in it there is a new development in Jane Austen's use of setting. Some critics, notably E.M. Forster and B.C. Southam, have found startlingly new qualities in the setting of Sanditon, and, certainly, the most striking feature of the fragment is the treatment of place. But Jane Austen left off writing Sanditon in March 1817 because of illness, and the twelve chapters make up too small and unfinished a piece to be considered in the same way as the other novels. The Watsons, too, except for some references to it in Chapter I, does not come within the scope of this dissertation. Another introductory point needs to be made briefly. Where it is necessary, the distinction between Jane Austen and the omniscient narrator is observed, but generally, partly because it is clear that Jane Austen's values are close to those of the narrator, and partly because it is convenient, traditional and sensible to do so, the name "Jane Austen" is used to refer both to the actual person and to the narrator of the novels.

This essay is a discussion about how English teachers in the Swedish school system can use Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice to encourage awareness and reflection in students regarding issues of class division and its impact on society. The essay provides examples of how the contemporary Swedish society and the society depicted in Pride and Prejudice share both similarities and differences in issues regarding class division. The reader response perspective has been applied to show how teachers may use the novel to emphasize students’ reflections and responses. This, in the hope of creating rewarding discussions in the classroom that are based on the curriculum for the Swedish upper secondary school’s content of democratic values and human rights. This essay will show that Pride and Prejudice is a suitable choice of literature to use as basis for generating awareness and reflection regarding the issues of the impact of class divisions on society in the EFL classroom.

Marriage is arguably one of the most important events and choices to be made in one’s life, especially for many of the female characters in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Whether characters are searching for a husband for themselves or is searching for someone else, marriage is the source of many conflicts. Social class plays an important part in the marital process in Regency England and remains a point of tension in the novel. Moreover, the women seemingly have different yet similar experiences with the marriage process. This essay will analyze Catherine de Bourgh, Caroline Bingley, Mrs Bennet, Jane Bennet, Elizabeth Bennet as well as Charlotte Lucas, with the focus of the essay being their views and experiences with marriage through a characterization study in order of their social class. The essay will be positioned within classic Marxism due to the importance of social classes in Marx as well as in Neo- Marxism. The main part of the analysis consists of whether a female character acts in agreement or disagreement with the ISAs (Ideological State Apparatuses) as presented by Louis Althusser. It will be evident that some will be in agreement while others are in disagreement. Because of this the essay will also show that regardless of the social classand relation to the ISAs a woman’s main purpose in life is to be a wife and mother, even if Austen hints at characters breaking free from this ideology to make way for a new way of thinking.

Magister Artium - MA / Harriott is asleep under a jacaranda tree in her daughter's lush Escombe garden. Escombe is no longer part of the Natal Colony, the Natal Colony exists only in the minds of people like Harriott. Escombe, though still in the same place it's always been, is now part of the Union of South Africa. It is the 20th of January 1923. Harriott has lived in the Natal Colony for thirty years exactly. She has been married for only one day less. Dorothy's garden Is wonderful, but according to Harriott, not as wonderful as it could be with a little more effort. Dorothy's bougainvillea are a riot of cerise, peach and white. Her dipladenias climbing the pillars of the front veranda - a profusion of pink. The creamy day Iillies are in full bloom. The lavender is a field of purple and the plumbago hedge, where dragon-like Harriott is asleep under a jacaranda tree in her daughter's lush Escombe garden. The barometer has dropped. Harriott does not notice the thickening of the air, nor the band of dampness spreading along her back. Her chair is covered with blankets and a white sheep fleece. It Is the day-bed of a woman whose own padding has melted away, whose bones are dissolving, whose joints have swollen over. 'It won't be long,' whispers Herbert to his bride as they lie side by side sweltering in the room next to Harriott's, the door ajar so Dorothy can hear her if she calls out. 'I'm afraid, it won't be for very much longer, my dear.' chameleons lurk, is thick with blue ... a cool blue ud at t he bottom of the garden, Dorothy thinks. Boy is hard pressed to kee~~~~~~~~~i_~~~~ go, paw-paw and avocado trees. Harriott pays little heed to t ~ e for her lawns, beds, shrubs, Harriott's book is lying on the grass. It is a very slim volume, the slimmest she owns and the latest addition to her collection, thanks to dear Rose who tracked it down somewhere in London and sent it over. Harriott cannot hold anything heavier than the slimmest of books, nor can she make.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate Jane Austen’s illumination of Samuel Johnson’s moral precepts in seeking harmony in choice of life. Austen explores the various decisions of her characters and the effects of those choices on happiness through the use of free indirect discourse. Austen and Johnson both contend that marriage is a potential source of great happiness in an individual’s choice of life, and concordia discors between spouses offers the highest form of contentment in marriage. Johnson believed that the novelist had a moral duty to his or her reader to present characters with attainable virtue. Austen’s illumination of Johnson’s moral precepts and philosophies fulfills the standards Johnson set forth for the novel genre. This study traces the relationship between Johnson’s precepts in Austen’s Emma, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility.

This essay applies a feminist neo-Marxist perspective to analyze the intricate parts of society in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The essay performs an analysis of societal norms and the influence the economy has on individuals with a focus on the character Charlotte Lucas by applying feminist and Marxist frameworks to the character and her choices. The analysis explores how Regency patriarchy influences the lives and choices of individuals such as Charlotte, who has to make decisions within societal constraints in pursuit of a stable future. An introduction to feminist neo-Marxism is made to establish a theoretical understanding of the gender roles and power dynamics in the novel. Interactions between gender expectations, economic factors, and class are highlighted. Regency societal norms and economic pressures are especially analyzed to contextualize Charlotte’s choices. This essay offers insight into the character’s motivations while highlighting what in the way society functions drives them to make the decisions they do, especially as women.

Jane Austen sprinkles deaths throughout her novels as plot devices and character indicators, but she does not tackle death directly. Yet death pervades her novels, in a subtle yet brutal way, in the lives of her female characters. Austen reveals that death was the definition and the destiny of women; it was the driving force behind the social and economic constructs that ruled the eighteenth-century woman's life, manifested in language, literature, religion, art, and even in a woman's doubts about herself. In Northanger Abbey Catherine Morland discovers that women, like female characters in gothic texts, are written and rewritten by the men whose language dominates them. Catherine herself becomes an example of real gothic when she is silenced and her spirit murdered by Henry Tilney. Marianne Dashwood barely escapes the powerful male constructs of language and literature in Sense and Sensibility. Marianne finds that the literal, maternal, wordless language of women counts for nothing in the social world, where patriarchal,figurative language rules, and in her attempt to channel her literal language into the social language of sensibility, she is placed in a position of more deadly nothingness, cast by society as a scorned woman and expected to die. Fanny Price in Mansfield Park is sacrificed as Eve, but in her death-like existence and in her rise to success she echoes Christ, who is ultimately a maternal figure that encapsulates the knowledge of the goddess, the knowledge that from death will come life. Emma Woodhouse in Emma discovers that her perfection, sanctioned by artistic standards, is really a means by which society eases its fears about death by projecting death onto women as a beautiful ideal. In Persuasion, Anne Elliotfindsthat women endure death while men struggle against it, and this endurance requires more courage than most men possess or understand. Austen's novels expose the undercurrent of death in women's lives, yet hidden in her heroines is the maternal power of women—the power to bear children, to bear language and culture, to bear both life and death.
