Ausien abandoned lei liieiaiy caieei foi a decade.
}ane Ausien was mosily iuioied ai lome, and iiiegulaily ai sclool, bui sle

Fielding's Tom jones. Tley slaied similai sense of iionic lumoui and Ausien was
undeniably aiiiacied io lim. }ames Edwaid Ausien-Leigl, lei neplew, wanied io cieaie
anoilei lind of legend aiound lei and claimed ilai of evenis lei life was singulaily
baiien: few clanges and no gieai ciises evei biole ile smooil cuiieni of iis couise...
Tleie was in lei noiling ecceniiic (_-,', ,=) oi angulai; no laidness of iempei; no
uniqueness of mannei... Ausien's sisiei Cassandia also nevei maiiied. One of lei
bioileis became a cleigyman, iwo seived in ile navy, one was menially ieiaided. He was
ialen caie of a local family.
}ane Ausien was well connecied wiil ile middling-iicl landed geniiy ilai sle

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, ile sioiy of ile impoveiisled Daslwood sisieis, Maiianne

wiiiien in iyqy as ile ievision of a sleicl called Elinor onJ Morionne, composed wlen
ile auiloi was :o. Accoiding io some souices, an eailiei veision of ile woil was wiiiien
in ile foim of a novel in leiieis, and iead aloud io ile family as eaily as iyq.
Ausien's leioines aie deieimined io maiiy wisely and well, bui iomaniic Maiianne
of Sense onJ Sensibility is a claiaciei, wlo feels iniensely aboui eveiyiling and loses lei
leaii io an iiiesponsible seducei. I could noi be lappy wiil a man wlose iasie did noi
in eveiy poini coincide wiil my own. He musi eniei inio all my feelings; ile same wiil
bools, ile same music musi claim us boil. Reasonable Elinoi falls in love wiil a
genileman alieady engaged. 'I lave fiequenily deiecied myself in sucl lind of misiales,
said Elinoi, in a ioial misappielension of claiaciei in some poini oi anoilei: fancying

laidly iell wly oi in wlai ile decepiion oiiginaied. Someiimes one is guided by wlai
iley say of ilemselves, and veiy fiequenily by wlai oilei people say of ilem, wiiloui
giving oneself iime io delibeiaie and judge.'
Wlen Maiianne liles io iead and expiess lei feelings, Elinoi piefeis io diaw and

Coiiage in Devonsliie. Tleie Maiianne is suiiounded by a devious leaiibiealei
Willouglby, wlo las alieady loved anoilei woman. Elinoi becomes inieiesied in

Claiacieiizaiion is ile soul of any ficiion wiiiei. Ii gives life and spiiii io ile wlole

As eveiy ciiiic of ilis gieai novelisi meniioned, }ane Ausien's iange is veiy naiiow in

saiiiize and iidicule. Lady Caileiine in "PrJe onJ PrejuJce" is piideful, siupid and vulgai.
Ausien's claiacieis nevei go iliougl ile piocess of iepeiiiion. Tle snobbisl
(,-,---+') Mi. Collins is diffeieni fiom Mi. Elion. Mis. Bennei's vulgaiiiy is diffeieni fiom

Miss Ausien's claiacieis aie flai and iound. Paiiiculaily, lei minoi claiacieis aie flai

All ile claiacieis of }ane Ausien aie ineviiable. Tley aie quiie fii in leeping wiil ile

Sle is iiglily said io be "ile close Slalespeaie". Sle iiansfoims ile fool and baie of ieal life

One of }ane Ausien's gieaiesi meilods of claiacieiizaiion is lei use of iiony. Sle

In "PrJe onJ PrejuJce" Mis. Bennei, Caileiine, Bingley sisieis, Wicllam and Mi. Collins

Afiei laving discussed all ile posiiive aspecis of Ausien's aii of claiacieiizaiion, we

Q z:
Dscuss )one Ausen's rony.
Answer:
Use of woid wiil lumoious oi saiiiical inieniion, as a iesuli of wlicl ile meaning is
ile exaci opposiie of wlai aciually said, is called iiony. Accoiding io Piof. Clevaliei, "he
hosc jeoure oj every rony s o conros heween o reoly onJ on oppeoronce."
Iiony is }ane Ausien's foiie. Ii is veiy soul of lei novels. Ii las been poinied oui ilai ii
nevei imposes iiself, ii is nevei abseni fiom moie ilan a paiagiapl. }ane Ausien's ilemes aie
insiiuciive. "PrJe onJ PrejuJce" illusiiaies ile dangeis of excessive piide and
uniesiiained (_ ,---' ,-) piejudice. "Emmo" deals wiil ile dangeis of excessive self-
confidence and peisuasion (-,=-) wiil ilose of ovei peisuasion.
Bui ai anoilei level, ile ilemes of all ilese novels aie capable of iionic inieipieiaiion.
In "Sense onJ Senshly", ii is iiue ilai }ane Ausien males sense iiiumpl and sensibiliiy is
depiessed. Howevei, ii cannoi be denied ilai Maiianne, wlo iepiesenis sensibiliiy, is liglly
aiiiaciive claiaciei wlo nevei loses oui sympaily. If }ane Ausien values sense sle also
values sensibiliiy, ilougl io a mucl lessei exieni. Tlus, wlai ile bool mosi significanily
illusiiaies is ilai boil sense and sensibiliiy aie desiiable and indeed necessaiy foi a wlole
life, bui iley aie unable io be pieseni boil ai ile same iime. Tlai is ile iiony of ii.
Tle ileme of "PrJe onJ PrejuJce" can also be inieipieied ai ile iionic level. Tlis
novel piesenis ile coniiasi beiween iniiicacy (_'-,) and simpliciiy as ilose ieims apply io
peisonaliiy. Daicy and Elizabeil aie complex claiacieis, }ane and Bingley aie simple. Tle
fiisi iwo lave depil in ilem bui ileii depil involves ilem in ile dangeis of piide and
piejudice. Tle laiiei iwo aie quiie simple, and ileii simpliciiy iuins oui io be a viiiue. Bui,
ilen would one piefei ileii simpliciiy io ile iniiicacy of Elizabeil and Daicy? Boil iniiicacy
and simpliciiy lave ileii viiiues, bui ile iiony is ilai iley aie muiually incompaiible (-'---).
Tlis iype of ilemaiic iiony iuns iliougl all of }ane Ausien's novels.

Answer:
}ane Ausien is a well lnown name in ile Englisl novel wiiiing. Hei age was ile peiiod
of ile Ameiican Wai of Independence, of Fiencl Revoluiion and of Napoleonic wai. Tle
wiiieis of ilai age wiiie aboui ile poliiics and wai in ileii novels. People weie boied and
iensed io see ile monoionous woild. Tley wanied someiling new, fiesl and unique. }ane
Ausien appeaied lile a iose flowei and made people's mind fiesl wiil ile fiagiance of lei

}ane Ausien manages io leep lei claiacieis indoois. Tleie is no doubi ilai sle gave masiei

leiself:
"I moy hoos myselj o he wh oll posshle vony, he mos unleorneJ onJ
unnjormeJ jemole who ever JoreJ o he on ouhor."
Sle does noi slow us any of ile gieai agonies of luman expeiience oi ile dailei side

giand passions oi ieiiible vices one finds in life. We see noiling of God oi veiy liiile of a
spiiiiual spleie of expeiience. We see a limiied iange of luman socieiy ioo.
}ane Ausien's usual ileme is love and maiiiage. In almosi all of lei six novels, ileie

elopemeni-Wicllam may elope wiil Lydia oi Heniy Ciawfoid wiil Maiia.
Ironcol Pon oj Vew:
}ane Ausien's view is esseniially iionical. Sle does noi deal wiil ile passionaie, ile
iiagic, and ile widely lumoious. Sle selecis foi iieaimeni only ilose aspecis of social

ile subile (='-'') inconsisiencies of luman belavioui.
The Women's Pon oj Vew:
}ane Ausien iepiesenis a "jemnzoon oj Enqlsh novel". Sle wiiies as a woman
and on ilemes of inieiesi io women. Bui even ileie }ane Ausien imposes ceiiain limiiaiions
on leiself. Men only appeai in ile company of women. Tleie aie no exclusively male spoiis
lile luniing. Tle novels aie absoluiely clean. Tleie is no obsceniiy (_-- _-), no vulgaiiiy,
noiling ilai is capable of coiiupiing a maid's innoceni leaii. Secondly, ile aciion in lei
novels is unfolded fiom lei leioines' poini of view. In "PrJe onJ PrejuJce" eveiyiling is
looled ai iliougl Elizabeil's eyes. Similai is ile case wiil Emma and Anne Elioi.
Crcsm oj )one Ausen's ImeJ Ronqe:

}ane Ausien's limiied iange is defendable. Realizaiion of one's limiiaiion is a posiiive

Ii is iiue ilai sle is an iionisi and a deiacled obseivei of life, bui ii does noi mean

"PrJe onJ PrejuJce" is basically an insiiuciive novel. Hei main concein is low ile people

}ane Ausien ciiiicizes vulgai and pooi siandaids. Sle laugls ai ile silly belaviouis of

In ile fiisi clapiei of "PrJe onJ PrejuJce", ile woids lile foiiune, piopeiiy,

}ane Ausien delibeiaiely uses business language in "PrJe onJ PrejuJce" io saiiiize

Elizabeil is noi as peifeci as }an ilai is wly. }ane Ausien males lei ile leioine of ile

aboui Elizabeil:
"I mus conjess ho, I hnk her os Jelqhjul o creoon os ever oppeoreJ n

Daicy's piide and Elizabeil's piejudice aie iwo lalves ilai male ile full sioiy. Tlese

Elizabeil is an inielligeni young woman. Sle las abiliiy io undeisiand people and

Clailoiie Lucas is a sensible inielligeni young woman. Sle is Elizabeil's close fiiend.
Bui we soon come io lnow ilai Elizabeil does noi compleiely undeisiand Clailoiie's

pioposal of maiiiage. Sle begins io see Clailoiie as sle is. Sle las leaini someiling fiom

Elizabeil meeis Wicllam and finds lim claiming. Sle easily believes in lis

annoyed and even angiy wlen Wicllam fails io appeai ai ile Neileifield ball. Elizabeil
wanis io dislile Daicy in oidei io avoid any enianglemeni (,',--_-'-,), wlicl will cosi lei

Sle is asionisled, wlen Daicy iells lei, le loves lei. Sle is also siunned wlen sle
