		5.
		Which of the following themes CANNOT be found in Pride and Prejudice?
		Quest.: 5
	
	
	
	
	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 a sense, Pride and Prejudice is the story of two courtships¿those between Darcy and Elizabeth and between Bingley and Jane.
	
	
	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.
