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.
