Chapter 5 – theme song: Dragonflies and astronauts by the Parlotones
Sir William Lucas
Made his money through trade
Was knighted
Left
Meryton
(too small for such an important person) “It had given him a disgust…had made him courteous” Chap 5 pg. 19. Austen is satirical in her description of him as someone who thinks he is important but not supercilious (having a manner that shows you think you are better than others)Slide2
Chapter 5
Lady Lucas
- “a very good kind of woman, not too clever to be a valuable neighbour to Mrs Bennet” pg. 19. She is on the same intellectual level. They share a love of gossip.
Charlotte Lucas
-Eldest of the Lucas family
-27 and single (problem)
-Sensible, intelligent, and Elizabeth’s intimate friend
-Theme song: Where do the good boys go to hideaway:

Chapter 5
Teases Elizabeth affectionately “Poor Eliza!-to be only just tolerable” (pg. 20)
Feels that Darcy has a reason to be proud. See very important quote pg. 21 “His pride…he has a right to be proud”
Elizabeth
Admits to her pride being hurt “That is very true and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine” pg. 21Slide4
Chapter 5
Jane
- Tries to defend Darcy’s actions (not talking to people and being rude): “are you quite sure…I certainly saw Darcy speaking to her” pg. 20
Mary
-gives definitions of pride and vanity – see pg. 21
‘A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us’. (Ironic because Mary is vain)
Mrs Bennet
-has taken a strong dislike to Darcy
Key takeout:
Elizabeth acknowledges she is hurt by Darcy (this shows us that she has pride)
The differences between pride and vanitySlide5
Chapter Six
Bingley sisters
: Theme song:
‘This is how we do’ :

https://

They like Jane, but find Mrs Bennet intolerable.
This means that they won’t really accept a relationship between Bingley and Jane because of Jane’s relations. Slide6
Chapter 6 – Charlotte Lucas
-Charlotte: Theme song ‘I
ain’t
sayin
’ she’s a
golddigger
’ – Kanye West ft. Jamie Foxx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vwNcNOTVzY
-27, single, plain, chances of finding someone are slim
-she is practical and thinks that a woman does not need to be completely in love with a man to secure him, but showing interest in him is very important
. She says encouragement is important. Slide7
Chapter 6 – Charlotte Lucas
Her view on marriage seems quite pessimistic.
“a woman better shew
more
affection than she feels”
“When she is secure of him, there will be leisure for falling in love as much as she
chuses
” –
Chap 7p.23
“Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.” –
Chap 7 p
. 24Slide8
Chap 6 - Elizabeth
Elizabeth: Theme song: Independent Woman –
Destiny’s Child
https://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lPQZni7I18
She completely disagrees with Charlotte’s viewpoint (‘you make me laugh, Charlotte…you would never act in this way yourself’ pg. 24)
Elizabeth feels Charlotte’s plan would only work if it is one’s aim to marry to be well-off, and she states that this is not her plan nor Jane’s. Elizabeth wants to marry for love.
Her quote is ironic because she does not seem to know Charlotte well enough to realise this is exactly Charlotte’s aim – to marry to be comfortable. Slide9
Mr Darcy:
https
://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m1EFMoRFvY
His opinion of Elizabeth begins to change, against his will:
P.24: “But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, then he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent
…”Slide10
Chapter 6 – Mr Darcy
“He began to wish to know more of her” –p. 24
He listens to her conversation at the assembly at Sir William Lucas’s.
Elizabeth is concerned – see pg. 24-25.
Austen is showing
how
Darcy is falling in love with Elizabeth’s personality, not her looks or money. This is very revolutionary, feminist thinking for the time.
The fact that he is not unwilling to dance with Elizabeth (although she refuses) shows how his opinion of her has changed.
Pg. 26-27
He now thinks of her as pretty: “My mind was more agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow” – p. 27Slide11
Chapter 6
Caroline:
She
tries to endear herself to Darcy by assuming that he does not like being at the
ball,
and inviting him to commiserate with her pg. 27
.
She is a snob.
She
is astonished to realise
Darcy
is talking of Miss Eliza Bennet but Mr Darcy ignores her teasing
.Slide12
Chapter 6 key takeout
Darcy is starting to fall in love with Elizabeth.
Caroline is becoming jealous.
Elizabeth is quite principled – she believes Darcy insulted her and is arrogant, and therefore will not dance with him. She refuses in a very polite way (says that she was not crossing the room in order to find a partner – see pg. 27). Slide13
Chapter Seven
Mr Bennet
Mr Bennet’s financial situation is explained in Chapter 7 (pg. 29)
two thousand a year, and this and the property of
Longbourn
is entailed to the male heir. This was the societal rule at the time.
Mrs Bennet
- has four thousand pounds from her father (some money was also given to her sister, and the rest to her brother). Mrs Bennet comes from a respectable family of attorneys. Slide14Slide15
Chapter 7
Mrs Phillips:
-Mrs Bennet’s sister.
-lives in
Meryton
-is popular among her nieces and always gives them the latest news
Catherine and Lydia:
-In Chapter 7, they are very
excited to hear that a militia regiment has just arrived in
Meryton
.
-all they can talk about is officers in
regimentals - this is the only reference in the novel to the war – criticism?
-it sets the scene for the entry of WickhamSlide16
Mr and Mrs Bennet have a disagreement about Catherine and Lydia – read their discussion on page 30
Caroline Bingley
Invites Jane to dine with her and her sister as the men are out. Caroline is looking for company, and as she likes Jane the most out of the
Bennets
, she invites her. She makes it clear in her letter that the men are out, so the invitation indicates that she is only inviting Jane because there is no other company for her. Jane however, is thrilled and thinks Caroline genuinely wants to be her friend.
Jane = innocent
Caroline = boredSlide17
Chapter 7
Mrs Bennet:
Opportunistic:
in chapter 7, she
insists Jane goes on horseback instead of taking the carriage, because she knows it will rain, Jane
will have to stay over (she actually gets a violent cold) at
Netherfield and thus see Mr Bingley.
Jane:
-Dutiful and obedient: in chapter 7, she listens
to her mother and goes on horseback (she is not aware of ‘the plan
’)
-she catches a cold because it rains and is forced to stay over (see the difference in Mr and Mrs Bennet’s reactions on pg. 32)Slide18
Chapter 7
Elizabeth:
Chapter 7 shows us that Elizabeth and Jane are close.
She worries
about Jane and decides to walk to
Netherfield.
She arrives “with weary
ancles
, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise” – p.33. It was not considered polite for a young woman to walk by herself, through mud, for a long distance. Austen is portraying Elizabeth as a strong, independent young woman who values her sister’s well-being over societal conventions.
This horrifies Caroline but impresses Bingley and Darcy (although he admires her complexion but doubts if the occasion required her coming so far alone – see chap 7 pg. 33. This show he also follows society’s conventions).
Later Elizabeth is invited to stay at Netherfield in order to keep Jane company while she is
sick (Jane did not want her to leave – see pg. 34).Slide19

Chapter 7 key takeout
Mrs Bennet is manipulative.
Elizabeth and Jane have a close bond.
Elizabeth defies societal convention to see Jane.
Darcy is impressed despite himself.Slide21
Chapter 8
Miss Bingley and Mrs Hurst
criticise Elizabeth as soon as she leaves the room
Bingley
- defends her ‘she shows an affection for her sister that is pleasing’ (Chap 8 pg. 36). He does not care so much that she defies convention – remember he is easy-going.
Darcy
- also defends Elizabeth ‘eyes brightened by exercise’ (Chap 8 pg. 36
)

– DJ got us falling in love again - Usher
-says
“but it [their low connections]must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any consideration in the world” (Chap 8 pg. 37) - he still values RANK and STATUS although is interested in Elizabeth.Slide22
Chapter 8
Elizabeth:
In chapter 8, she returns from attending to Jane to join the others (because she has to, not because she wants to)
Elizabeth says she would rather read than play cards. Bingley gets her a book from his modest library. Conversation turns to library at
Pemberley
(Darcy’s estate)
Caroline:
In chap 8, the discussion turns to Miss Darcy (sister of Mr Darcy), who is considered by Miss Bingley “as an extremely accomplished young lady.”Slide23
Chapter 8- Caroline continued
Caroline gives her definition of what it means to be accomplished:
‘A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half-deserved’ (pg. 39)Slide24
Chapter 8
Darcy:
adds that a lady must also improve her mind through extensive reading’ (This is what Elizabeth is doing! Not Miss Bingley – he is impressed by Elizabeth.)
Elizabeth, Darcy and Miss Bingley argue about what it means to be an accomplished woman.
Darcy speaks in long involved sentences, showing his carefully thought out nature
Elizabeth:
answers him pertly and concisely (showing her nature – gets to the point quickly)
Elizabeth checks up on Jane, who is worsening.
Bingley:
is worried about Jane (he is already in love with her.)Slide25
Chapter 8 – key takeout
Elizabeth is different to the
Bingleys
and Darcy in her outlook and mannerisms.
Darcy is falling in love with her.
She does not like him.Slide26
Chapter 9
Mrs Bennet:
Arrives to see Jane because Elizabeth, who was worried about her, sent her a note to come.
She arrives with Lydia and Catherine
She embarrasses Elizabeth with her incessant talk and disagrees with Darcy about the country being less pleasant than the town
Mrs
Bennet
criticises Darcy indirectly when she says that ‘those persons who fancy themselves very important and never open their mouths, quite mistake the matter [good breeding]’ (pg. 43)
Lydia and Catherine:
They pester Mr Bingley about giving a ball (this is more important than Jane)
‘Lydia was a stout, well-grown girl of 15, with a fine complexion and good humoured countenance; a favourite with her mother, whose affection had brought her into public at an early age. She had high animal spirits and a sort of natural self-consequence, which the attentions of the officers to whom her uncle’s good dinners and her own easy manners recommended her, had increased into assurance’ (pg. 45)
Bingley:
indulges her and says she can name the day of the ball (once her sister is better – this shows Jane is his priority already)
Darcy and Bingley sisters:
They discuss the Bennet’s behaviour, although Darcy won’t join in their criticism of ElizabethSlide27
Chap 9 key takeout
Mrs Bennet is embarrassing.
Bingley prioritises Jane.
Darcy is falling for Elizabeth – won’t criticise her.Slide28
Chapter 10
Caroline:
In chapter 10, Darcy tries to write a letter but she keeps distracting him (shows she thinks only of herself, and her attempts to attract Darcy)
Darcy:
finishes letter, notices how Elizabeth talks animatedly on every subject, keeps staring at her.
Elizabeth:
Notices that Darcy keeps staring at her. She thinks it’s because she disgusts him. – see NB quote Chap 10 pg. 50 (‘She hardly knew how to suppose that…care for his approbation’.)Slide29
Chapter 10
Elizabeth refuses to dance when Darcy asks her to – see pg. 50-51
‘There was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. He really believed that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he should be in some danger’ (Chap 10 pg. 51)
Caroline:
gets jealous and only becomes anxious about Jane’s recovery so she could get rid of Elizabeth. She mocks the idea of a marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy and makes fun of Mrs Bennet, who would be his mother-in-law
pg
51)
Everyone goes for a walk, the sisters are rude to Elizabeth, and Darcy noticesSlide30
Chapter 10 key take out
Darcy is strongly attracted to Elizabeth, especially for her mind, sense of humour and personality. He even considers her physically attractive now (describes her eyes in great detail – pg.
51).
However, he still thinks he is not in love with her, that the “inferiority of her connections” will block his falling in love.
