Jane Austen has a lot of knowledge on theatrical acting and she incorporates it into her story Pride and Prejudice. I learned that all of the characters in this story are acting and they are pretending to be something that they are not. All of their actions and feigned emotions affect one another, because they are deceived by how they perceive others. It told me that the characters in the story not only mislead each other, but they also are all under the assumption that everyone has to play a part, which throws them off as well. One is supposed to always show much more affection than they actually feel, and no one is to be themselves. This gives me the impression that the story is very confusing and that manipulation is the main idea.
