Blog Post #2 Pride and Prejudice

Blog Post #2: Title, author, genre, number of pages/week (100/200)
Pride and Prejudice 
Jane Austen
118/225
classic 

  • 1st sentence: Describe the type of conflict facing your main character in your book. (Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Himself)
Man vs. Man. The main conflict in "Pride and Prejudice" is between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth who doesn't feel the same way Mr.Darcy feels about her. 
  • 2nd sentence: How is your main character coping with the conflict? (What is his/her reaction to the conflict?)
Elizabeth's reaction to Mr. Darcy himself is not appealing at all, she hates him and his arrogance and cannot stand a moment being around him.
  • 3rd sentence: Is this a type of conflict that exists in present day? Explain why or why not.
This conflict exists nowadays when young women are not attracted to men that feel something for them.
  • 4th sentence: How would you react to this type of conflict? Same as character? Another way?
I would probably act similar to Elizabeth if I wasn't attracted to Darcy but I would probably try to be a little less arrogant and harsh as Elizabeth. 
  • 5th sentence: Explain your reaction to this type of conflict conflict. (Why would you react the way you do?)
I think that this conflict is not a big deal and could be resolved easily because it is very likely that the person that likes you convinces you somehow to like him back and that is why I think Elizabeth will start liking Darcy sometime soon in the novel.
