I read Characters in Collaboration, Mrs. Bennet, and An Examination of Class and Economy. The first essay was by far the worst. In the introduction, the author claims that Caroline Bingley continually judges Mr. Darcy, but there is no indication of her judgement in the novel. Furthermore, the author never goes on to explain how she judges him, only how she helps reveal his character. Also, the author refers to Caroline as Darcy's lover, which she is not; she is only interested in Darcy, but nothing ever happens between them. Another fault that I found with the essay is in the first quote. When I read it, it seemed like the quote disproved the author's claim that Elizabeth dislikes Mr. Darcy. Although the author goes on to explain that Elizabeth is using sarcasm in the quote, the author could and should have chosen a quote that better demonstrated Elizabeth's true feelings about Darcy. The second essay was the second best. I found the introduction to be my least favorite part because the author makes claims that Mrs. Bennet is represented more than the other characters, which I do not agree with. However, the author goes continues on to make valid points and analysis, which make up for the introduction. The third essay was the best because the author uses a very minor character to make very bold, valid claims. This unconventional approach provides allows for interesting, and seemingly accurate analysis.
