In Pride and Prejudice, a novel written by Jane Austen, the role of wealth and reputation is a partnership that leads to marriage, but in most (if not all) cases have little to do with love. The most propelling conflict in Pride and Prejudice is, “The morally significant conflict between pride and vanity” (Pride). Vanity is connected to wealth; therefore wealth is a poor choice to consider opposed to love. The role that reputation and wealth play when it comes to love is limited due to human…

Some believe that the Wife of Bath was an anti-conformist who challenged the tradition and restored the old anti-feminist mind-set of the medieval times. Others question her contribution and modernization brought to women’s status. Undoubtedly, this tale has also impeached Chaucer’s…

In 1787 a much smaller percentage of people were educated, there were way fewer people living in the country, and people were very concerned with the president being elected by “smart” people.

However, in modern times, a direct presidential election would be better…
