	Why was The French Revolution so important for the English people?
		
	
	Because the bloody events that began with the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 favored not only the English economy, as the French country had been destroyed by the war, but also the spread of democracy gave the English working-class the right to vote.
	
	Because the English history in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is largely the story of England¿s involvement against French monarchy and in favor of a free French Republican country.
	
	Because the collapse of unfashionable eighteenth-century society and a reliable monarch gave English people reasons to fight for a better monarchy in their own country.
	
	Because as the French regime came tumbling down, a series of political and religious changes started going on in England as well as the roots for the Republican Party started being laid.
	 
	Because it was not only a crucial event considered in the context of Western history, but was also, perhaps the single most crucial influence on British intellectual, philosophical, and political life in the nineteenth century.

	What does William Blake discuss in the poem London?
 London BY WILLIAM BLAKE
" I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow. And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe. In every cry of every Man, In every Infants cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear How the Chimney-sweepers cry Every blackning Church appalls, And the hapless Soldiers sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse"
		
	
	Blake questions if it is possible to live in this peaceful urban space and how oppressed the speaker feels upon entering the city since the poem¿s title denotes a specific geographic space.
	
	Blake discusses the impressions the speaker, who wanders through the streets of London, makes and comments on his observations. He sees happiness in the faces of the people he meets and hears positive feelings in their voices.
	 
	Blake focuses on the social and political background of London and highlights differences between the wealth of the ruling classes and the poverty of the common man.
	
	Blake's poem on England's capital city, written in 1792, is a picturesque portray of life in a big city in the eighteenth century. The poem is a concise religious analysis, delivered with passionate love, revealing the simple connections of life in a big city.
	
	Blake wonders if the ones whom the speaker meets in the streets of London are so anxious about the violence in the city that they cannot enjoy the good aspects of the wonderful town they live in.

	In the novels, the author reveals aspects of the characters which are involved in the narrrative and each of them typifies some definite quality.
How is Elizabeth Bennet, the main female character in Pride and Prejudice, depicted by Jane Austen?
		
	 
	As a woman who believed in marriage as long as there was love involved in the relationship. Elizabeth stands out as a unique individual in the society she was immersed. Considering the features of the Romantic age, she represents the power of emotions over reason.
	
	She was a silly and conceited young woman, who enjoyed a life of dancing, fashions and gossips.
	
	Elizabeth Bennet was depicted as being optimistic even though she did not have the ability to laugh off her misfortunes. She had no other option than to face the reality of her life, hoping her situation might change, which reinforced the tone of the novel.
	
	Besides being a gentle and kind-hearted young lady, she showed passion for being a good pianist attempting to find a valid mode of existence in society.
	
	As a woman who was able to dominate Mr. Collins and to entertain herself with Wickham just to call Mr. Darcy´s attention as she hoped to marry a rich man.

	Which of the following themes CANNOT be found in Pride and Prejudice?
		
	 
	Darcy and Elizabeth¿s realization of a mutual and tender love seems to imply that Austen views love as something dependent of these social forces, as something that can be captured if only an individual is able to fit in the hierarchical society.
	
	Pride and Prejudice depicts a society in which a woman¿s reputation is of the utmost importance. A woman is expected to behave in certain ways. Stepping outside the social norms makes her vulnerable to ostracism.
	
	Pride and Prejudice contains one of the most cherished love stories in English literature: the courtship between Darcy and Elizabeth. As in any good love story, the lovers must elude and overcome numerous stumbling blocks, beginning with the tensions caused by the lovers¿ own personal qualities. Elizabeth¿s pride makes her misjudge Darcy on the basis of a poor first impression, while Darcy¿s prejudice against Elizabeth¿s poor social standing blinds him, for a time, to her many virtues.
	
	In a sense, Pride and Prejudice is the story of two courtships¿those between Darcy and Elizabeth and between Bingley and Jane.
	
	The theme of class is related to reputation, in that both reflect the strictly regimented nature of life for the middle and upper classes in Regency England. The lines of class are strictly drawn. While the Bennets, who are middle class, may socialize with the upper-class Bingleys and Darcys, they are clearly their social inferiors and are treated as such. Austen satirizes this kind of class-consciousness.

	In the novel Pride and Prejudice, why was Mrs. Bennet so anxious to find proper husbands for her daughters?
		
	
	Since the Bennet girls¿ financial situation would be particularly desperate after Mr Bennet¿s death in case they failed to find husbands, Mrs Bennet¿s obsessive husband-hunting goes too far. She even asked Mr. Bingley to marry Elizabeth.
	
	She did not want to be known in the area in which she lived as a mother of five unmarried young women.
	
	Mrs. Bennet typifies that kind of woman who wants to be in high society and since her husband could not provide a solution for her wishes, she wanted her girls to marry wealthy men so that she herself might have the opportunity of going to expensive parties.
	 
	Because, among English families wealth automatically passed down the male line since women were regarded as incapable of dealing with money matters, they could not inherit. So, one day Mr. Benne t would certainly die and Mr Collins would receive Mr. Bennet¿s inheritance. So Mrs. Bennet was eager to protect her five girls by finding husbands who would support them for the rest of their lives.
	
	Since most women had little choice but to marry in order to be respected by society, Mrs. Bennet was no exception to the rule. Probably most mothers were as concerned as Mrs. Bennet was. If they did not marry, Mrs Bennet herself would need to find a job as a housekeeper so as to support the girls.
