PP: Assignment 11

I was very pleased with the outcome of this book. I thought that one of the best moments in these last two chapters is how Lady Catherine De Bourge’s plans were completely shut down. I think the only thing that I would have like to see changed was Mr. Bennet’s seriousness in the story. I thought that a lot of the decisions that he made in this story had a very large impact on certain events early and later on. Two examples of this would be his decision to not meet Mr. Bingley when Mrs. Bennet( despite how agitating she can be sometimes) told him to. Had he actually met him things might have went differently, and not lead up to Mr. Darcy having to do what he did in separating Mr. Bingley and Jane. Another example was allowing Lydia, the youngest sister to leave despite Elizabeth’s warnings. I think this may have been the most pivotal decision he makes because of everything that happens following that. I think that if he had done the opposite of that, Lydia and Wickham would have never eloped, and Darcy would not have everything that he did to save their family. I liked this book for romance it was not so bad to read, an I enjoyed read about the influence that this book has continued to have on the literature world.
