Pride and Prejudice, chapters 55–59


 Write in your “[yourname]” googledoc file (10 minutes):

1.    Did you enjoy reading the peripatetic conversation between Lizzy and Darcy where they “come to an understanding” (i.e. where he proposes again and she accepts). Why or why not? What surprised you about this conversation and/or what did you notice about it?
2.    What further obstacles does Elizabeth face even after she and Darcy “come to an understanding”? Why are these important for the book?
3.    Come up with two or three discussion questions for things you’d like to talk about once we’ve finished the whole novel.

  1. How does the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy contribute to the humor in Pride and Prejudice?

  2. How does the setting of each scene reflect Elizabeth's emotions at that time?

  3. Analyze thoughts on Darcy through examples, in the hopes of explaining why I dislike him, and finding a hypothesis about why Austen wrote Darcy the way he is, as a heroic romantic character.
