The purpose of this study is to discuss further how an English teacher in a Swedish high school can utilize a novel like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice in their classroom. This has been investigated by looking at how to use the book thematically with the class topic and by looking at activities and ideas used by teachers who have worked with the book in its entirety. Other aspects such as student motivation, catering to students' interests and needs and looking at what the teacher can do to make the reading experience exciting and relevant for their students have also been considered. By further investigating how the topic class is presented in Pride and Prejudice through the characters, their connections, and aspirations, this study has also tried to answer whether it is possible to discuss a topic like class in Pride and Prejudice without mentioning the relationships and marriage.
