- 5801: Rite Of Passage
- ... and escape it doesn't always mean it's the right thing to do. In society people cheat all the time, and sometimes they don't even know they are cheating. Taxes would be a great example of this philosophy because many people cheat on their taxes. They do it because they know that there are millions of people who do their taxes every year and it would be almost impossible for the government to find everyone who cheated on their taxes. The Bill Clinton scandal is also a great example of this philosophy because he thought he could conceal what he did, but in the end it went all wrong. Bill Clinton did what he did because he thought he could hide it, but ...

- ... about them no more. This new age of society is just too profitable for them to leave it, crops that a few men farm yielding the food for twenty.

- 5804: Rebecca
- ... being compared to Rebecca and this makes her feel very uncomfortable. People would say things to her like "You're so different from Rebecca", and this would make her feel even more inferior to the great Rebecca. She would also do stupid things like taking the advise of Mrs. Danvers when she knows that Mrs. Danvers hates her (Davenport, 162). Many people would feel insecure in her position though, and that ... about Rebecca. He said that she was mean and that she was going to have him put in the asylum.

- 5805: Pride And Prejudice - Point Of View
- ... up marrying (which is better than what may have happened), their marriage is based not on love, but on lust and then necessity. Wickham has no intention of marrying Lydia until Darcy offers him a great deal of money. "…he [Darcy] was reduced to meet, frequently meet, reason with, persuade, and finally bribe, the man [Wickham] whom he always most wished to avoid" (241). To Elizabeth and Austen, this marriage is ... to make the political statement that it is unwise to marry for any reason other than love. Elizabeth (and thus Austen) feels that true happiness cannot be achieved in a marriage unless there is a great deal of love between the partners, and so explains her pursuit for true love, and her disapproval of marriage between those she knows are not in love.
- 5806: Pride And Prejudice - Marriage
- ... silliness, ‘in general Charlotte wisely did not hear’. She tries to keep her husband out of the way, for example, by encouraging him to do the gardening, ‘when Mr Collins was forgotten there was a great comfort throughout’. But she is always loyal to him. She never says anything bad about her husband. The marriage between Lydia and Wickham was the result of irresponsible behaviour. They met at a dance where ... Rosings Park when she goes for walks. Colonel FitzWilliam tells Elizabeth the Darcy had stopped Bingley from ‘a most imprudent marriage’. Elizabeth is very angry indeed with Darcy and blames him for causing her sister great unhappiness. That same day Darcy proposes to her.

- 5807: Pride And Prejudice
- ... and those who are not are so entangled in their own passions that they almost never see the absurdity of the world around them. Mr. Bennet is different however. While being realistic, he also takes great pleasure of observing the sad silliness of the world around him, and poking fun at it on many occasions. "For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them ... the reason for his failings as a father. While if judged purely by his actions the character may be seen as somewhat of a submissive coward, his words show him to be a man of great ability placed in a losing position. Austen has a purpose behind this set up, which goes hand in hand with this character's importance as discussed earlier. The purpose is such that in order for ...
- 5808: Pride And Prejudice
- ... are shown the arrogant and haughty dispositions of the upperclass of this society. (We are also shown the exceptions to the rule, namely Mr Bingley and Miss Darcy.) These people are exceedingly proud of their great fortunes and estates and as a result of the emphasis at that time on monetary issues, they are prejudiced (and commit acts of prejudice) towards their financial, and social, "inferiors". An example of this is ... Bingley's rich, socially handsome estate. Firstly, Mr. Darcy influences Bingley to leave Netherfield, then Miss Bingley "fails" to tell him of Jane's prescence in London (although she knows that it would be of great interest to him.) It is because of their pride, and their warp perception of their own, and in this case their brother or friend's pride, that influences to think they would be "doing the ...

- ... no more savage than the English customs of public disembowelment of thieves and the burning of women accused of being witches. In May of 1607, English colonists arrived on the Virginia shoreline with hopes of great riches. They established a settlement that they named Jamestown. Little Pocahontas watched as these strangers built forts and searched for food. She eventually became quite familiar with them and brought the near starving settlement food ... Captain John Smith led an expedition and was taken captive by the Indians. He was taken to Werowocomoco, 12 miles from Jamestown and the official residence of chief Powhatan.
