Classwork 2/17

Here are some Pride and Prejudice Ch. 1-7 questions for students who were absent on 2/17:

1. The opening line is famous.  Write it down and consider it.  Learn it by heart.  As yourself who thinks this way, and why?  What kind of line is it?  Be specific: if you think it is humorous, what kind of humor is it?

2. The Bennet girls are very pretty, especially Jane.  How do we know? 

3. Compare and contrast the physical descriptions of Bingley and Darcy on p.7.

4. What are the precise words Darcy chooses in his slight against Lizzy at the Meryton Ball on p.8?

5. How does Lizzy react to Darcy's slight in the subsequent chapters?

6. At which point(s) do you realize that Darcy might actually be attracted to Lizzy?

7. Who is the protagonist in the novel, and what steps have been taken to show this?
