Answer:

1) What is the Tone in Pride?

The tone of Pride and Prejudice is often critical and even biting. While Pride and Prejudice is popularly considered a love story, the narrator’s attitude toward various characters and events is often sarcastic. There are three main areas where the critical tone of the novel is made very clear: the representation of foolish characters, the attitude toward pretensions about social class, and the critiques of gender roles. Many of the characters in the novel are ignorant or foolish in some way. Examples include Mrs. Bennet, Mary Bennet, and, of course, Mr. Collins. Dialogue spoken by these characters often highlights their lack of intelligence or judgment, contributing to a critical, even mocking tone. For example, when Lydia brags that she now occupies a higher social position than Jane because she is now a married woman and Jane is not, Lydia shows that she is ignorant about the scandal and embarrassment caused by her position. At other moments, the narrator simply makes blunt and unkind statements about these characters, such as when Mr. Collins is described as “a mixture of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility.”
