The Narration “Pride and Prejudice” was written by Jane Austen in 1813. The story speaks about the emotional development of Elizabeth Bennet as a protagonist. She's my best character from the narration because she appears to be the central ring of her quest. Elizabeth has heard from almost everyone near her that marriage is a crucial thing to happiness. Elizabeth is the second daughter of a gentleman from the country who doesn't leave his estate to a girl. Elizabeth, thus, heads to poverty if she fails to marry a man who will provide everything she needs. The primary strengths of Elizabeth are that she's smart, gorgeous, loyal, loving and witty. People consider her to be, “a local beauty” and “charming with some attractive eyes” (Austen 38). People believe her to be “the most handsome women” in her consociate (Austen 39). She, however, has weaknesses because she is outspoken, impulsive, judgmental, and stubborn. One of the key themes of Elizabeth is that she is proud. Elizabeth is proud of herself because she thinks that she is a good observer. She was able to observe that marriage is a clear way towards unhappiness in life. She says “Despair if you do, despair if you do not do, which is the best way to Mount Doom?” (Austen 60). She also appears to be proud of being a character with good judgment. She is also good at reading various situations. For instance, this is clear after she watches Mr. Collins Sidling up towards Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth can tell about how it will go even while she is across the room. Elizabeth, however, changes to being misjudged mental. She makes a mistake of misjudging Darcy and Wickham. She is also blamed of her fault of stubbornly sticking to her judgment until when she is forced to see her mistake. Elizabeth has always been right regarding other people. For instance, “She faces pain after recognizing some unaccepted behavior from her family” (Austen 103). Elizabeth’s confidence from her discernment which is both the combination of pride and prejudice later makes her be in some of the worst errors.Theme of 1984 by George OrwellThe story “1984” was written by George Orwell. One of the most common themes from the book is the danger of Totalitarianism. 1984 is a political narration that was primarily written to warn readers from the West about totalitarian government dangers. The narrator wrote the novel after witnessing some firsthand horrible lengths through which the totalitarian governments of Russia and Spain would move to so as to increase and withstand their authority. Orwell was keen in designing 1984 so that it could sound like an alarm towards the Western states and ensure their governments on how to approach a rise towards communism. The cold war had not yet “escalated in the year 1949” and this made most of the intellectuals from America to support communism (Fox 56). They also faced the state of diplomacy between the communist and democratic countries which were highly ambiguous (Fox 34). The Soviet Union that was from the American press appeared to portray some improved moral experiments. Orwell was mainly disturbed by some widespread oppressions and cruelties that he observed from the Communist Nations. He seems to have some concerns from technological control so as to enable the oppression of the government where there are easy monitoring and control of the citizens. From the novel, Orwell is keen in describing the improved totalitarian community which is a perfect realization from the modern-day administration through absolute power. The title of the book indicates to the 1949 readers that the narration represents the real possibility about the coming future. Orwell also represents the state in which a government can monitor or even control the aspect of human life through the thought of disloyalty to the law. The narration finally challenges the limitation of the power of the Party so as to discover the capability towards enslaving and control of the paranoid conception. The reader can learn various techniques of controlling the citizens which are a significant theme of the novel.Works CitedAusten, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. Modern Library, 2000.Baker, Amy.
