Comperanse with the real world

In the book “Pride and Prejudice” it is a lot of different conflicts between different characters. If we match the conflict in the book to the conflicts in today’s society, we can see that it is much alike. For example the conflict between Mr. Wickham and Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy figured out that Mr. Wickham had an afar with his sister. The conflict and relationship between them is build up on hate, anger and lies. In today’s modern society many conflicts and relationships are build up on that. It is not unusual to have an afar. Yet it is more “normal” to have an afar today compared to before.

Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are two total different people, and they are not agreed on much. But still the marriage is working. Compered to today, two persons who are in a turbulent marriage would probably get a divorce faster than you can blink. The reason for that is that it no longer is a shame to get a divorce. On the 18^th century a divorce was not something you talk loud about. Today it is basically no shame in it at all.

Mr. Collins is a cousin to the five Bennet sisters. He first proposes to Elizabeth Bennet. He tries to do that two times, but get a no both times. After that he moves on to all the other sisters. He gets a no from everybody. Today if a man proposed to one in the family, it would not been well received if he moved to the next one in the family. These kinds of actions were tolerated in the 18^th century.

An important part of the story is that Elizabeth not gets the bested first impression of Mr. Darcy. That is something that is exactly the same today. The first impression is what sets the standard. So in so many years this is something that defiantly not has change and it will probably not do so in the nearest future.
