Sydney's Contemporary Relevance

Section 3
In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen incorporates many themes that we can easily relate to our society. Just by looking at the title, you can tell what the whole issue of this book can be. Prejudice is used many times like when Elizabeth thinks Mr. Darcy is the guy that has too much pride and doesn’t care about anything. Turns out, Darcy was this sweet guy who knew how to treat her right.

Today in our society, people tend to judge others without even realizing it. It’s just the way our society is today. Making judgements/ being prejudice doesn’t help build a relationship very well. Society has made a great impact on us. Media has influenced us to listen/ see what they do or say. For instance, many artists create songs with prejudice being involved. In my opinion, I really don’t like how society can easily change who we are. We’re turning out to be the people we’re not. Plus we’re not respecting God’s creation.

Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy looked past their first impressions of each other and got to know each other. Even though these two are just characters from a novel, I believe Jane Austen made the story line like that so we can use it in our daily lives and realize that there’s more to a person that from what you hear. People in our world today need to stop and think of each other and how we are all the same because we are made by God.
