Enlightenment Philosophy
O “It is evident to any one who takes a survey of the objects of human knowledge, that they are either IDEAS actually imprinted on the senses; or else such as are perceived by attending to the passions and operations of the mind; or lastly, ideas formed by help of memory and imagination….” Berkeley, Principles and Dialogues
![Page 20: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
David HumeO The great variety of Taste, as well as

![Page 21: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Declaration of Independence
“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal….”
![Page 22: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Austen’s First LinesO Do a close reading of the first 2

echoing these philosophical tracts in her opening line as she does?

O What does it set us up to expect?
![Page 23: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Austen’s humor: Satire & Irony
O Satire: A form of comedyO Relies on exaggeration and
understatementO Brings human ignorance,
weakness and cruelty (our own as well) to light and lets us laugh at them
![Page 24: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DefinitionO Satire ridicules its subject
through the use of techniques such as exaggeration, reversal, incongruity and/or parody in order to make a comment or criticism about it.
![Page 25: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
IronyO About reversal: what we think should be
is not; what we expect to happen does not; what someone says is the opposite of what he/she means.O Verbal: What is said is the opposite of
what is meantO Dramatic: The reader knows and
understands more than the characterO Situational: outcome of a situation is
contrary to what was expected; actions have the opposite effect that was intended
![Page 26: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Characteristics of her fiction
O Omniscient narrator (third person)O Latin omnis (all) and scire (to know). An
omniscient narrator knows all about the characters.
O Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.
![Page 27: Introducing… Pride and Prejudice. In your comp book… O How do you form judgments about strangers? O How do you “read” people you’ve never met before when.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d045503460f949d722f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pioneered Free Indirect Speech
O Remains in past tense and third person, yet the words belong to the character rather than the narrator (it’s the character’s voice). O Indirect means no quotation marks and no “she
thought” explicitly marking the thought process as the character’s
O Has an ironic effect because we know more than the character does (dramatic irony)
O Example: “She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of admiration to so great a man; and yet that he should look at her because he disliked her was still more strange.” P and P Ch. 10,p. 45

Characterization: How it is done
O By other characters, and in relation to how we feel about them
O Through their “own” wordsO Through the omniscient narrator
O Example: Ch. 1 P and P
