You can choose one out of these 3 topics (doesn’t matter which one)
Option One:
Novels and plays often include scenes of weddings, funerals, parties, and other social occasions to reveal the values of the characters and the society in which they live. In a focused essay using Pride and Prejudice, discuss the contribution the scene makes to the meaning of the work as a whole. DO NOT MERELY GIVE PLOT SUMMARY.
Option Two:
In a novel or play, a confidant (male) or a confidante (female) is a character, often a friend or relative of the hero or heroine, whose role is to be present when the hero or heroine needs a sympathetic listener to confide in. Frequently the result is, as Henry James remarked, that the confidant or confidante can be as much “the reader’s friend as the protagonist’s.” However, the author sometimes uses this character for other purposes as well. Choose a confidant or confidante from Pride and Prejudice and write an essay in which you discuss the various ways this character functions in the work. DO NOT MERELY GIVE PLOT SUMMARY.
Option Three:
In a literary work, a minor character, often known as a foil, possesses traits that emphasize, by contrast or comparison, the distinctive characteristics and qualities of the main character. For example, the ideas or behavior of the minor character might be used to highlight the weaknesses or strengths of the main character. In Pride and Prejudice, decide which minor character serves as a foil to a main character. Then write an essay in which you analyze how the relation between the minor character and the major character illuminates the meaning of the work. DO NOT MERELY GIVE PLOT SUMMARY.
