Pride and Prejudice (Lenses)

Pride and Prejudice really has some different ways of portraying women. The most obvious opinions are from the men in the book. Mr. Darcy has a very prominent opinion; I can infer that he thinks of women as "ornaments" so to speak. A better way to call this would be a stereotype. He thinks that women are made to do specific tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Elizabeth sort of challenges that aspect of his thinking.

Book to Book Connection:

This Chapter of the book really connects with the plot of the book Feed. In the book, the characters are all used to the feed, a transmitter implanted in the brain. When a girl named Violet challenges that aspect, it reminded me of this book.The character's in Pride and Prejudice are all kind of used to the fact that men kind of see them as "accomplished". Elizabeth reminds me of Violet because she is so variant from the other people in her family. Both of them kind of stand up to the situation which is the connection I see between these two books.
