Chapter 8

In this chapter the author mentions such aspects as social difference. According to Juliet McMaster, in “Pride and Prejudice” Jane Austen follows the Cinderella plot. Elizabeth, whose family was not wealthy enough, married Mr. Darcy, a rich gentleman. She also points out that, even though people around her (Lady Catherine) care a lot about social disparity, Elizabeth is not overwhelmed about it. (She keeps thinking: “He is a gentleman; I am a gentleman’s daughter; so far we are equal.”)  

I also liked how Juliet McMaster mentioned priority among elder and younger siblings in a family. For example, in “Pride and Prejudice” the younger sister told Jane, the older one, that she became superior because now she became a married woman.

I think these ideas would be very helpful for me to write my own paper.
