Today's lesson was on destination. We were asked what we thought the destination of Pride and Prejudice is, I think that its for Mrs Bennit to marry all of her daughters off in rich families. I came up with this idea because in the first chapter, Jane Austen doesn't introduce the characters to the reader she only introduces the conversation. By putting emphasis on the conversation it tells the reader that this is very important, and since the conversation is between Mr and Mrs Bennit and how she wants her husband to meet a new man in town to see if he's marriageable for their daughters,i think this does hint something to us readers.
Also in the first sentence of the novel, Austen starts with ''It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife''. This sentence is separate from the rest of the page in structure, this shows how important this idea truly is to the novel and also, I think, conceals information and gives us a little hint on what's to come up in the novel.
