“Jane and Elizabeth...urged him so earnestly...to receive her and her husband at Longbourn” (210). There are many words that Austen uses profoundly throughout her novel. Earnest, prudent, felicity, anxiety, perverse, pride, and prejudice are all unique words that I found are constantly used. These seven words summarize the main ideas and actions in Pride and Prejudice. The main characters are sincere and wise in overcoming prejudgment, concern, and stubbornness, to ultimately achieve happiness and honor. The author obtains the overall affect of the novel by continuously using all of these words.
