Just What A Young Man Ought To Be: Politeness And Easy Manners As The Infallible Passport In Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Ethan Baumgartner

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Among the misinterpreted ideas about the Regency era is the concept that women were more confined to etiquette than men. However, upon closer inspection, it's clear that this quality of being 'amiable' (likable, friendly, sensitive, even lovable) in the Regency culture was crucial to almost every person of any status or social position regardless of gender.

Toeing The Line: The Morality Of Dancing Pride And Prejudice And Regency Culture, Laura Gray

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Many of the social interactions in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are reliant upon decidedly ambiguous rules. The characters in the novel are constantly toeing a line between trying to express their feelings in a forthright manner and restricting themselves in order to maintain propriety. No one knows how to maintain a balance between these two actions, as a result, true feelings are hardly ever properly expressed, and their ability to form connections suffers. All of the characters endure this unfortunate phenomenon.

Rules Of Engagement: Mr. Darcy's Courtship In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Victoria Lane

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) is most commonly regarded as a story of love. The narrative does indeed follow a marriage plot line, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet do fall in love and get married, but where within the narrative do we see any true sentiment revealed? The linear plot stretches from beginning to end; from their first meeting to their inevitable marriage. The space between must then be filled with the act of courting; each party's attempt at establishing a connection. However, the majority of the development of the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy is devoid of …

The Marxist Stream Of Untouchable, Daniel Blanchard

Student Research Symposium

This presentation was given as part of the Panel Presentation Studies in Postcolonial Modernism at Portland State University's Research Symposium. The study investigates Mulk Raj Anand's 1935 novel, Untouchable, through a Marxist lens, following its main character, Bakha, through his trials and tribulations. It argues that through Bakha's religious inquisitions, and frustrations with his experiences as a Hindu outcaste, he comes to realize himself as a class entity, part of the Marxist process of the proletariat's rise to power. Bakha evolves throughout the novel, from being uncritical of his own materialism and egoism, to recognizing his ethics as unrepresentative of …
