He did not want to potentially adopt the crazy behavior of the bullies. He would be destroying his character, which his father told him to build.…

For example, “I know what I’ve signed up for but its kids like him that break my heart and raise questions about this war were fighting.” (Winmill 1). Dr. Bones writes all of his worries down in his journal. He is very concerned if he is doing the right thing or not or if he should be doing something else.

Why does Pride and Prejudice resonate with readers today? Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen created a spectrum of characters that resonates with society today. The novel reflects on a “male and female agenda” that engraved society’s minds. This agenda is what the typical male and female ought to be, which creates a series of molds for both genders.
