The Cambridge companion ch.3

Reading this chapter helped me understand the characters in Pride and Prejudice all play "roles".  This will be a very different read for me, because I have never read a book that is portrayed in a play like format.  Reading this taught me that a lot of Jane Austen's pieces are related to one another. This will help me use multiple examples in my second paper. I was confused when I first read this chapter.  I think it was because I haven't read Pride and Prejudice yet, so it was difficult for me to follow her explanations involving the characters.
