About this resource
Read Chapter I of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The opening makes a confident claim about a wealthy unmarried man, then shifts attention towards the surrounding families’ expectations. In the Bennets’ conversation, notice who treats marriage plans as urgent and who turns the exchange into a joke. Test whether the opening describes the man’s wishes or reveals other people’s interests.
