Anthology from the year 2024 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies – Literature, , language: English, abstract: Anthology of three titles.
The first title compares the personality of Elizabeth in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and in ‘The Lizzy Bennet Diearies’. In Pride and Prejudice, Lizzy Bennet wants to marry but only for love and not because her mother is telling her to. She rejects Mr. Collins’ and Mr. Darcy’s first proposal because she does not love them. Eventually Lizzy does get married, because she falls in love with Mr. Darcy and accepts his second proposal, thereby fulfilling her intention to marry for love. In The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Lizzie is a grad student, living at home together with her parents and her two sisters. She is single, but getting a boyfriend is not one of her concerns.
The second term paper, in which I will compare Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ with Fielding’s ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’, will show that the skills women should have are still relevant in our society today. To confirm my ideas I will first discuss feminist theory, and then I will deal with the following topics which are included in both novels: education, skills, career; finding a husband and marriage; and the appearance of women. I want to contrast several female characters of Pride and Prejudice with Bridget Jones. In addition, this term paper will describe the pressure that young single women have to face in the 19th and 20th century.
The third paper will show that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a parody. It will identify and discuss the elements and strategies that are typical of parodies. What gets parodied and how? What effect does this create? These are the central questions this paper seeks to answer. First of all, the approaches of several post-modern theorists such as Linda Hutcheon and Simon Dentith will serve as basic definitions in order to explain the theoretical aspects and properties of parodies. Important characteristics such as the paradox nature of parodies and the theory of encoding and decoding will be taken into account. The second part will consist of a close analysis of parodic strategies in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, focusing not only on the formal characteristics of this parody, but also on some features of both 18th century society and the style of the narrative found in Pride and Prejudice that are most prominently parodied.
