Select ONE of the following topic options. Use
MLA format for your Haiku submission-version.
Option 1:
Consider the ways Austen explores the subject
of class in the novel. The work is set at a time of change in English society,
in which merit and wealth have begun to take the place of birth as the
indicator of high class or importance. Which characters and
situations embody these issues in the novel? Provide at least one in-depth
example from the text, and as always include direct text support.
Option 2:
Consider the novel as a work of satire. Keeping
in mind the purposes, methods, and techniques of satire, how does Austen's
work function as a satire? Consider which characters and situations earn
satirical treatment in her book. What foibles of her society does Austen poke
fun at? What techniques does she employ? Be sure to prove at least one specific
example from the novel (and don't forget your text evidence!) to support your
argument.
