Pride and Prejudice 7-10

I feel the same way about the book as Mariha. The sisters begin to seem nice to Elizabeth, "Elizabeth began to like them herself, when she saw how much affection and solicitude they showed for Jane." pg.27 but then they go behind her back and spread rumors about her. There statement about Jane also showed how completely materialistic they are. "she (Jane) is really a very sweet girl, and I wish with all my heart she were well settled. But with sucha father and mother, and such low connictions, I am afraid there is no chance of it." pg. 30 and the statement about the daughter's chances of marrying shows this also, "it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any consideration in the world." pg.30. I do like how Bingley is portrayed very nice and contradicting to his sisters by sticking up for Elizabeth even when she is not there. "It shows an affection for her sister that is very pleasing." pg.29. And Mr. Darcy is seen in a different light as well. Jane Austen allowed you to see a sweeter side to him in his affiction for Elizabeth.
