Pride and Prejudice by Wu Qianqian (ES02163)



Pride and Prejudice



In the class have learned the “Sense and Sensibility”, I think Jane Austen’s most famous novel is not it, I think “Pride and Prejudice” is her most famous novel. I do like this novel very much. This article was described in the 19th century British, and small beautiful village happened throughout the story line that was Elizabeth and Darcy’s love story, and it has a happy ending. ”Sense and Sensibility“ also has a good ending. I think maybe that is one of the reason why many people like Jane Austen’s novel.
Pride represent Darcy, prejudice represent Elizabeth. From the novel I find at the first sight, Mr Darcy fall in love with Elizabeth, but Elizabeth doesn’t know it, and at the beginning Mr Darcy because of his pride, he doesn’t tell Elizabeth, but when he sees Mr Wickham talk with Elizabeth, he can’t control his feeling to Elizabeth. Then he tell Elizabeth he love her, but she refused him. But Mr Darcy still love Elizabeth, finally through his strive, he make Elizabeth fall in love with him.
Darcy and Elizabeth reveals the characteristic that the feeling cannot be brought on by appearances, and must gradually develop between the two people as they get to know one another. Actually I do not like Jane, Elizabeth’s sister, I think she with Mr Bingley’s love contain too much other things, at first Mr Bingley like Jane is because of her good appearance, also Jane like Bingley is because of his handsome face and wealth at first, I don’t mean they don’t have true love, absolutely they finally love each other, I just think their love don’t like Darcy and Elizabeth---pure love.
Although it’s a love story, but I think there has some principle also can use in other relationship, don’t judge a person easily when you do not know him, and don’t judge a person through his appearance.

The Cavalier Poets by Khalil Norsham (194807)

The Cavalier Poets During the Post-Renaissance period, there were three separate eras, which were the Caroline Era, the Restoration Period and also the Augustan Age. I found the Caroline Era really interesting, especially when it comes to a group of poets who called themselves the Cavalier Poets. So how did they got their name? What about the characteristics of these poets? And who are the Cavalier Poets? The Cavalier Poets are actually a group of poets who supported King Charles I who was an expert and really love fine arts. They are members of aristrocracy and often linked to Royalist as their main purpose in their poetry was to glorify the king. The Cavalier Poets were totally different from the traditional poet who loves to talk about philosophy and religion. They love to express more on celebratory things or expressing their joy. To them, enjoying life was far more important rather than following moral codes. Most of their poems hold an attitude of "carpe diem" which ...

Sonnet 18 by Nor Syahira Asyiqin (193449)

SHAKESPEARE’S SONNET Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day? Last semester, my friend and I analayzed Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day? by William Shakespeare for our class, A Survey of Prose Forms and Poetry in English. I was intimidated at first when our lecturer chose us to do this sonnet, and it was the only sonnet out of the list of poems for that course. William Shakespeare was one of the most eminent writers in the history of classic literature, so undoubtedly I would be apprehensive because the last thing that I want to do is giving my classmates the wrong information regarding this sonnet. Thus, I embarked on my journey through the world of Internet. I read this sonnet for the first time and I didn’t understand what Shakespeare was trying to say at all. I never liked poems anyway, so to me it was incomprehensible. I was basically clueless to put it lightly. I mean I knew it has some romantic elements to it (it’s Shakespeare we’re talking abou...
