HUMOUR LIES IN ITS HONEST DEPICTION OF MANNERS, EDUCATION, MARRIAGE, AND
MONEY DURING THE REGENCY ERA IN GREAT BRITAIN.

“MOST-LOVED BOOKS” AMONG LITERARY SCHOLARS AND THE READING PUBLIC. IT

JANE EYRE (ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AS JANE EYRE: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY) IS A
NOVEL BY ENGLISH WRITER CHARLOTTE BRONTË, PUBLISHED UNDER THE PEN
NAME “CURRER BELL”, ON 16 OCTOBER 1847, BY SMITH, ELDER & CO. OF
LONDON. THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION WAS PUBLISHED THE FOLLOWING YEAR
BY HARPER & BROTHERS OF NEW YORK.JANE EYRE IS A BILDUNGSROMAN
WHICH FOLLOWS THE EXPERIENCES OF ITS EPONYMOUS HEROINE, INCLUDING
HER GROWTH TO ADULTHOOD AND HER LOVE FOR MR. ROCHESTER, THE
BROODING MASTER OF THORNFIELD HALL.
THE NOVEL REVOLUTIONISED PROSE FICTION BY BEING THE FIRST TO FOCUS
ON ITS PROTAGONIST’S MORAL AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH AN
INTIMATE FIRST-PERSON NARRATIVE, WHERE ACTIONS AND EVENTS ARE
COLOURED BY A PSYCHOLOGICAL INTENSITY. CHARLOTTE BRONTË HAS BEEN
CALLED THE “FIRST HISTORIAN OF THE PRIVATE CONSCIOUSNESS”, AND THE
LITERARY ANCESTOR OF WRITERS LIKE PROUST AND JOYCE.
COMPARISON
BETWEEN PRIDE
AND PREJUDICE
AND JANE EYRE
• COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE SOCIAL CASTE SYSTEM AND PERSONAL
IDEATIONS IN THE BOOKS “JANE EYRE” BY CHARLOTTE BRONTE AND “PRIDE
AND PREJUDICE” BY JANEMASTERPIECE
CHARLOTTE BRONTË AND JANE AUSTEN BOTH CREATED TWO NOVELS
EQUALLY CLASSIFIABLES AS MASTERPIECES INTHEIR OWN WAY. THOUGH
THEY BELONG TO DIFFERENT HISTORY PERIODS (VICTORIAN AND
REGENCY,RESPECTIVELY) THEY MANAGED TO PORTRAY FEMALE
PROTAGONISTS IN A ONE-OF-A-KIND WAY, BY GIVING THEMUNCOMMON
PERSONALITY TRAITS ACCORDING TO THE GENRE OF THE BOOK (GOTHIC
ROMANCE AND COMEDY OFMANNERS
• AS TWO OF THE MOST POPULAR NOVELS OF ALL TIME, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
AND JANE EYRE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF SPIN-OFF BOOKS WRITTEN
ABOUT THEM. TWO OF THE BOOKS TIPPED TO BE SUMMER BESTSELLERS
THIS YEAR ARE ELIGIBLE – A MODERN RETELLING OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE,
AND JANE STEELE – A MODERN RETELLING OF JANE EYRE. BUT DO THEY
BOTH WORK IN THE MODERN ERA?
THE JANE AUSTEN NEWS CAME ACROSS AN INTERESTING ARGUMENT FROM
CONSTANCE GRADY WRITING FOR ONLINE MAGAZINE VOX, THAT ARGUES
THAT PERHAPS ONE OF THEM DOES NOT.
• PRIDE AND PREJUDICE GAVE US AN ENDURING ROMANTIC COMEDY FORMULA, AND
IT’S EASY TO UPDATE IT WITH ONLY MINIMAL TWEAKING HERE AND THERE. YOU
CAN’T DO THE SAME THING WITH JANE EYRE. BRONTË WASN’T WRITING ANYTHING
LIKE A ROMANTIC COMEDY OR A COMEDY OF MANNERS — SHE WAS WRITING A
GOTHIC ROMANCE THAT WAS ALSO AN ASPIRATIONAL MARRIAGE PLOT. JANE EYRE
NEVER CONDEMNS THE LOVE STORY BETWEEN JANE AND ROCHESTER, MADWOMAN
IN THE ATTIC BE DAMNED. IT DOES NOT FUNCTION IF THE BOOK DOES NOT BELIEVE
WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN THE RIGHTNESS OF JANE AND ROCHESTER’S MARRIAGE. SO
WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN JANE EYRE INTO A CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE, YOU HAVE
TO FIGHT AGAINST EITHER THE GOTHIC ELEMENTS OR THE MARRIAGE PLOT. THE
RESULTS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE.
• TYPICALLY, I WOULD HAVE SAID PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, BUT I’VE HAD A
RECENT REALIZATION THAT THE BOOK DOESN’T HAVE THE GOOD
SUBSTANCE AND CHARACTERIZATION THAT JANE EYRE HAS IN IT. LET’S
TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IN THE ENTIRE BOOK, LIZZY IS HELLBENT ON HATING MR.
DARCY AND IN SPITE OF HER MAKING IT QUITE OBVIOUS THAT SHE DETESTS
HIM, HE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER. THE TURNING
POINT WHERE SHE DECIDES THAT SHE MIGHT LIKE HIM IS HIS CONFESSION,
AND THEN HIS LETTER. SO, YES, THAT TURNS HIM INTO A GOOD LIGHT AND
SHE REALIZES SHE HAS UNFOUNDED PREJUDICE. AND YES, LATER, MR.
DARCY HELPS HER SISTER OUT IMMENSELY AND THEN TREATS THE
GARDINERS VERY WELL. AND, ON MR. DARCY’S PART, I CAN’T THINK OF A
THING THAT COULD HAVE MADE HIM FALL IN LOVE WITH HER EXCEPT FOR
HER EXTREME DISLIKE OF HIM. OVERALL, FOR A BOOK THAT IS FOCUSED
ENTIRELY ON ROMANCE, THE ROMANCE IN IT IS UTTER NONSENSE. IT’S SO
RANDOM!
• JANE EYRE, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS A MORE LINEAR FEEL TO IT.
I’LL ADMIT, I FIND MR. ROCHESTER’S RATHER ABUSIVE MANNER OF
MAKING JANE JEALOUS A LITTLE OVER THE TOP AND HIS CONTINUED
CHARADE UP UNTIL WHEN HE TELLS HER HE LOVES HER IS A BIT
MUCH, BUT AT LEAST THERE IS A FOUNDATION FOR THEIR FEELINGS.
IF ONE HAD SLAVED AWAY AND FELT WRONGED BY THE WORLD WITH
A MADWOMAN AS A WIFE AND WANTED ONLY HAPPINESS IN TRUE
LOVE, OF COURSE HE WOULD CARE NOTHING FOR THE STATION OF
THE WOMAN HE HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH. HER LIFE THUS FAR
MATCHES HIS IN ITS MISERY BECAUSE WHILE SHE IS
INEXPERIENCED, HER EMOTIONS ARE STILL MATCHED TO HIS IN
MISERY. IF NOT FOR HER BACKGROUND, I DOUBT THAT SHE WOULD
BE ABLE TO RESPOND SO READILY TO MR. ROCHESTER’S ENIGMATIC
RAMBLINGS AND THUS CAPTURE HIM SO WELL. I CAN’T FIND THAT
TYPE OF GENUINE CONNECTION AND LOVE IN PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
COMPARATIVELY, THE “ROMANCE” IN PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IS VERY
SHALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL.
• WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON A
COMPARISON BETWEEN JANE EYRE
AND PRIDE AND PREJUDICE? WHICH IS
BETTER AND WHY ❓
• WITHOUT GOING INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IS
VERY MUCH A MODERN STORY, DESPITE THE CLASS-BASED
TRAPPINGS, WHEREAS THE CORE OF JANE EYRE IS MOSTLY JUST A
GOTHIC ROMANCE OF THE BROODY BYRONIC ANTI-HERO TAMED BY
THE PERPETUALLY-SHELL-SHOCKED HEROINE WHO’S (AHEM) TOO
BLIND TO SEE WHAT’S IN FRONT OF HIM.
• I FOUND THE LATTER BORING AND DISTASTEFUL ,WHAT WITH JANE
TRYING TO ASSENTIALLY PLEASE HER ABUSER, THERE’S ALSO A
PROBLEM IN THAT JANE EYRE BUT TRIES TO DO TO MUCH, IN MY
EYES….

  • 1. • NAME: MAHIDA BHUMIKA PRAKASHBHAI ROLL NO: 5 ENROLLMENT NUMBER:3069206420200021 M.A. SEM -1 SUBJECT: PAPER 3 LITERATURE OF THE ROMANTICS TOPIC: COMPARISON OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND JANE EYRE

  • 7. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IS AN 1813 ROMANTIC NOVEL OF MANNERS WRITTEN BY JANE AUSTEN. THE NOVEL FOLLOWS THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT OF ELIZABETH BENNET, THE DYNAMIC PROTAGONIST OF THE BOOK WHO LEARNS ABOUT THE REPERCUSSIONS OF HASTY JUDGMENTS AND COMES TO APPRECIATE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUPERFICIAL GOODNESS AND ACTUAL GOODNESS. ITS HUMOUR LIES IN ITS HONEST DEPICTION OF MANNERS, EDUCATION, MARRIAGE, AND MONEY DURING THE REGENCY ERA IN GREAT BRITAIN. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE HAS CONSISTENTLY APPEARED NEAR THE TOP OF LISTS OF “MOST-LOVED BOOKS” AMONG LITERARY SCHOLARS AND THE READING PUBLIC. IT HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR NOVELS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE, WITH OVER 20 MILLION COPIES SOLD, AND HAS INSPIRED MANY DERIVATIVES IN MODERN LITERATURE.FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, DRAMATIC ADAPTATIONS, REPRINTS, UNOFFICIAL SEQUELS, FILMS, AND TV VERSIONS OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE HAVE PORTRAYED THE MEMORABLE CHARACTERS AND THEMES OF THE NOVEL, REACHING MASS AUDIENCES.
  • 9. JANE EYRE (ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AS JANE EYRE: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY) IS A NOVEL BY ENGLISH WRITER CHARLOTTE BRONTË, PUBLISHED UNDER THE PEN NAME “CURRER BELL”, ON 16 OCTOBER 1847, BY SMITH, ELDER & CO. OF LONDON. THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION WAS PUBLISHED THE FOLLOWING YEAR BY HARPER & BROTHERS OF NEW YORK.JANE EYRE IS A BILDUNGSROMAN WHICH FOLLOWS THE EXPERIENCES OF ITS EPONYMOUS HEROINE, INCLUDING HER GROWTH TO ADULTHOOD AND HER LOVE FOR MR. ROCHESTER, THE BROODING MASTER OF THORNFIELD HALL. THE NOVEL REVOLUTIONISED PROSE FICTION BY BEING THE FIRST TO FOCUS ON ITS PROTAGONIST’S MORAL AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH AN INTIMATE FIRST-PERSON NARRATIVE, WHERE ACTIONS AND EVENTS ARE COLOURED BY A PSYCHOLOGICAL INTENSITY. CHARLOTTE BRONTË HAS BEEN CALLED THE “FIRST HISTORIAN OF THE PRIVATE CONSCIOUSNESS”, AND THE LITERARY ANCESTOR OF WRITERS LIKE PROUST AND JOYCE.
  • 11. • COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE SOCIAL CASTE SYSTEM AND PERSONAL IDEATIONS IN THE BOOKS “JANE EYRE” BY CHARLOTTE BRONTE AND “PRIDE AND PREJUDICE” BY JANEMASTERPIECE CHARLOTTE BRONTË AND JANE AUSTEN BOTH CREATED TWO NOVELS EQUALLY CLASSIFIABLES AS MASTERPIECES INTHEIR OWN WAY. THOUGH THEY BELONG TO DIFFERENT HISTORY PERIODS (VICTORIAN AND REGENCY,RESPECTIVELY) THEY MANAGED TO PORTRAY FEMALE PROTAGONISTS IN A ONE-OF-A-KIND WAY, BY GIVING THEMUNCOMMON PERSONALITY TRAITS ACCORDING TO THE GENRE OF THE BOOK (GOTHIC ROMANCE AND COMEDY OFMANNERS
  • 12. • AS TWO OF THE MOST POPULAR NOVELS OF ALL TIME, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND JANE EYRE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF SPIN-OFF BOOKS WRITTEN ABOUT THEM. TWO OF THE BOOKS TIPPED TO BE SUMMER BESTSELLERS THIS YEAR ARE ELIGIBLE – A MODERN RETELLING OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, AND JANE STEELE – A MODERN RETELLING OF JANE EYRE. BUT DO THEY BOTH WORK IN THE MODERN ERA? THE JANE AUSTEN NEWS CAME ACROSS AN INTERESTING ARGUMENT FROM CONSTANCE GRADY WRITING FOR ONLINE MAGAZINE VOX, THAT ARGUES THAT PERHAPS ONE OF THEM DOES NOT.
  • 13. • PRIDE AND PREJUDICE GAVE US AN ENDURING ROMANTIC COMEDY FORMULA, AND IT’S EASY TO UPDATE IT WITH ONLY MINIMAL TWEAKING HERE AND THERE. YOU CAN’T DO THE SAME THING WITH JANE EYRE. BRONTË WASN’T WRITING ANYTHING LIKE A ROMANTIC COMEDY OR A COMEDY OF MANNERS — SHE WAS WRITING A GOTHIC ROMANCE THAT WAS ALSO AN ASPIRATIONAL MARRIAGE PLOT. JANE EYRE NEVER CONDEMNS THE LOVE STORY BETWEEN JANE AND ROCHESTER, MADWOMAN IN THE ATTIC BE DAMNED. IT DOES NOT FUNCTION IF THE BOOK DOES NOT BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN THE RIGHTNESS OF JANE AND ROCHESTER’S MARRIAGE. SO WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN JANE EYRE INTO A CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST EITHER THE GOTHIC ELEMENTS OR THE MARRIAGE PLOT. THE RESULTS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE.
  • 14. • TYPICALLY, I WOULD HAVE SAID PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, BUT I’VE HAD A RECENT REALIZATION THAT THE BOOK DOESN’T HAVE THE GOOD SUBSTANCE AND CHARACTERIZATION THAT JANE EYRE HAS IN IT. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IN THE ENTIRE BOOK, LIZZY IS HELLBENT ON HATING MR. DARCY AND IN SPITE OF HER MAKING IT QUITE OBVIOUS THAT SHE DETESTS HIM, HE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER. THE TURNING POINT WHERE SHE DECIDES THAT SHE MIGHT LIKE HIM IS HIS CONFESSION, AND THEN HIS LETTER. SO, YES, THAT TURNS HIM INTO A GOOD LIGHT AND SHE REALIZES SHE HAS UNFOUNDED PREJUDICE. AND YES, LATER, MR. DARCY HELPS HER SISTER OUT IMMENSELY AND THEN TREATS THE GARDINERS VERY WELL. AND, ON MR. DARCY’S PART, I CAN’T THINK OF A THING THAT COULD HAVE MADE HIM FALL IN LOVE WITH HER EXCEPT FOR HER EXTREME DISLIKE OF HIM. OVERALL, FOR A BOOK THAT IS FOCUSED ENTIRELY ON ROMANCE, THE ROMANCE IN IT IS UTTER NONSENSE. IT’S SO RANDOM!
  • 15. • JANE EYRE, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS A MORE LINEAR FEEL TO IT. I’LL ADMIT, I FIND MR. ROCHESTER’S RATHER ABUSIVE MANNER OF MAKING JANE JEALOUS A LITTLE OVER THE TOP AND HIS CONTINUED CHARADE UP UNTIL WHEN HE TELLS HER HE LOVES HER IS A BIT MUCH, BUT AT LEAST THERE IS A FOUNDATION FOR THEIR FEELINGS. IF ONE HAD SLAVED AWAY AND FELT WRONGED BY THE WORLD WITH A MADWOMAN AS A WIFE AND WANTED ONLY HAPPINESS IN TRUE LOVE, OF COURSE HE WOULD CARE NOTHING FOR THE STATION OF THE WOMAN HE HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH. HER LIFE THUS FAR MATCHES HIS IN ITS MISERY BECAUSE WHILE SHE IS INEXPERIENCED, HER EMOTIONS ARE STILL MATCHED TO HIS IN MISERY. IF NOT FOR HER BACKGROUND, I DOUBT THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO RESPOND SO READILY TO MR. ROCHESTER’S ENIGMATIC RAMBLINGS AND THUS CAPTURE HIM SO WELL. I CAN’T FIND THAT TYPE OF GENUINE CONNECTION AND LOVE IN PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. COMPARATIVELY, THE “ROMANCE” IN PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IS VERY SHALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL.
  • 16. • WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON A COMPARISON BETWEEN JANE EYRE AND PRIDE AND PREJUDICE? WHICH IS BETTER AND WHY ❓
  • 17. • WITHOUT GOING INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE IS VERY MUCH A MODERN STORY, DESPITE THE CLASS-BASED TRAPPINGS, WHEREAS THE CORE OF JANE EYRE IS MOSTLY JUST A GOTHIC ROMANCE OF THE BROODY BYRONIC ANTI-HERO TAMED BY THE PERPETUALLY-SHELL-SHOCKED HEROINE WHO’S (AHEM) TOO BLIND TO SEE WHAT’S IN FRONT OF HIM. • I FOUND THE LATTER BORING AND DISTASTEFUL ,WHAT WITH JANE TRYING TO ASSENTIALLY PLEASE HER ABUSER, THERE’S ALSO A PROBLEM IN THAT JANE EYRE BUT TRIES TO DO TO MUCH, IN MY EYES….
