Pride and Prejudice Book Club Answers Week 1

Pride and Prejudice Book Club Answers

Week 1

1. Would you like to live in England during the time that Pride and Prejudice took place? Why or Why not?  I don't think I would. I am afraid I would be out of my mind. All women did in those days was sit around trying to catch a husband and then after the were married raise a family.

2. Do anyone of the characters remind you of anyone you know? 
Mrs. Bennett reminds me of my mother. She was always trying to play match maker with my sisters and I. She would also arrange "situations" where we could enter act with the man she liked for us.  Here matches never did work out.

3.  Charlotte Lucas says "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance."  What does this statment say about her? Do you agree or this statement? why or why not?  I think that this statement says that she would not marry for love but only for security as so many women did in those days. Some still do. I disagree with this statement. A lot of hard work goes into making a marriage happy. There is no matter of chance about it.

4. Why do you think Darcy is attracted to Elizabeth?

I think he is attracted to Elizabeth because she is not chasing after him. Like other women in the story. I also believe that he is attracted to her because they have similar personalities.

5.  What is your favorite part of the story so far? 

 My favorite part of the story is where Elizabeth goes to see about Jane after she falls ill. First of all, I think that it's sweet that she would walk all that way to go check on her sister. Secondly, I love the interaction of Darcy, Jane, Elizabeth, Mr.Bingley, and Miss Bingley.

First I'd like to think everyone who responded with their interest in (re) reading Pride and Prejudice. I am going to keep this very low key since this is my first blogging book club.

This could be questions I have about the book, a blog post or who knows. It will be something related to the book though. If you would like, you can link up using McLinky or simply leave a comment. That's it! :) I am looking forward to reading this classic with everyone.

Have I lost my mind!?

I noticed something last week when I was reading people's responses to Abigail's blog parade. A lot of people said they would like to be Jane from Pride and Prejudice. I've never read this book. I love reading. However, it's always so much more fun to read and talk about a book with friends. I was wondering if you my dear blog readers, would like to read Pride and Prejudice with me? My idea is to read some each week and discuss it weekly.   If this is not for you that's fine. I just want to know if this is something you might be interested in. You have one week till March 17 at 10 pm to let me know if you are interested.   Either way I am going to read the book. But it so much more fun to do with friends.
