The story of the novel revolves around the life of two people and this is usually what most pride and prejudice cheap essays topics revolve around. The book talks about the difficulties that these two main characters; the troubles they face, the disappointments in their lives. The author of the novel, Jane Austin does not merely tell a story but tries to institutionalize her work in an attempt to improve the societal factions that upheld the society in the 18th century. After all it's not only Iranians who are looking for something to be proud of, but it's us all, as humans. Anyway, this type of pride has never made any sense to me, whether in Iran or in the States, because I can't understand being proud of something one has got nothing to do with, whether it's race, nationality, or even family. I, personally, don't remember ever being asked where and in which family I would like to be born in. Family is not a source for pride, and neither should it be one for shame, because no one gets the chance to choose whose daughter/son they'd want to be. In birth we are all equal, and that's why Pride should come from what one has become, not from what one already has been –and is. In my opinion, pride comes in for the sharper criticism by Austen. She has chosen to personify this trait in several characters in essay topics although it is hard to find one character who portrays prejudice alone, throughout the novel. When prejudice does occur in this novel, Jane Austen has shown it in the hands of a notoriously proud character. Because prejudice is not personified (ie. depicted as a major characteristic flaw) I believe that it was not to be the object of Jane Austen’s sharper criticism.
