Victorian #4: Dialogue

Another literary element is dialogue. Which is represented throughout the ENTIRE book! It was even on the first page. The author uses dialogue to express how the characters talk, their personalities, feelings and the story.

"The garden in which stands my humble abode is seperated only by a lane from Rosings Park, her ladyship's residence." (Page 50)

Victorian #3: Realism in Fiction

The historical context in this book, is almost the entire book! But one way its realistic is the family relationships, like how Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth are so close. How she turned down a proposal in order to keep her relationship with her father. There are some fathers who do not like their daughters boyfriends, fiances, or husbands. And that would have been the case for Elizabeth and Mr. Collins. Although, he only did that to annoy his wife, he still told Elizabeth to choose over him and Mr. Collins. Elizabeth loved her father so much, she chose him. (Chapters19-21) If my father and I got closer, I would most likely do the same as Elizabeth.

Victorian #2: A Relationship

One relationship in this book, is the one between Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Bennet. They are married with four daughters. This relationship is important because they are the parents of some of the main characters. If it wasn't for this relationship then they would not have met Mr. Bengley. This relationship is significant because if I was in Mr. Bennet's place, I would not want to be with a woman that talks too much and who wants to force her daughters into something that would just get her more money. Mr. Bennet really must love her to put up with that!  (All chapters. Or just Chapter 1 and 2.)

Literary Element: Conflict

"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves." (Page 2)
The opening of the book Pride and Prejudice has a few literary elements, but one in particular is conflict. When Mrs. Bennet talks to her husband about Mr. Bingley and their daughters. She was trying to get her husband to take their daughters to meet Mr. Bingley because he is rich and in the hopes of Mr. Bingley choosing to fall in love and marry one of their daughters. But Mr. Bennet  had the tone that made it seem like he was oppose to his wife's wishes.

Henry Clerval- Ch.23-24

Ugh, that ugly, bizarre, CREATURE! Now he knows that he should be ashamed for killing Elizabeth! Then causing his father's death!!! Then he has the audacity to torture, mock and taunt my friend! Why does this creature have to be so hateful? Why couldn't Victor just take responsibility for his actions? Why couldn't plan things out before he takes action? He was always the risky explorer, that took the risks without thinking them through. When I pictured the trouble he was in, I never imagined this! This Creature he created taking his anger out on innocent people. Now Victor is so obsessed with killing the it, that it is eating him from his core. I really have nothing to say. There aren't enough words in the world to describe this situation. I am so frustrated, confused and agitated!

Henry. Ch.21-22

After my death, the "THING" dumped my body in a boat. (I rathered him not, but obviously I could not even influence him). Then when my body was finally discovered, they accused somebody who should be the very LAST person accused. No He should not even have been on the list of possibles. How could my own best friend kill me? That is just absurd! What motive would Victor have? UNLIKE  the Victor the "THING" actually had a motive. He wanted revenge by taking Victor's loved ones. Now all Henry has is Elizabeth and Alphonse to keep him company, and try to console him.

Henry. My Death and Discovery.

I finally saw what Victor has been hiding from me!  I remember him telling me a little bout it, but it was so bizarre and he was only mumbling! Now I know I should have stayed with him no matter what! Now I know that I should have listened more carefully. 'Cause now, I am dead. All I remember is that, I was standing on land, glazing among the horizon and thinking about my friend Victor. Then all of a sudden, I feel cold hands around my neck!! I tried to resist and get him off of me, but the "THING" kept his grip. Then he lifted me off the ground (he was pretty strong, obviously) and tightened his grip. Then I just felt my self get lighter and weaker, lighter and weaker, lighter and weaker; until finally I could not see anything. But strangely I could still hear him talk. All he kept repeating is, "He drove me too it. He deserved it. He did not help me. He deserted me." Then I started thinking, and thats when everything clicked into my head. All those times Victor was talking about creating something, then he started acting all paranoid and jittery. Then the random unexpected death of William. It all came to me. Finally. Now its too late.
