In the first part of pride and prejudice the Bennet s are introduced. The book begins with Mrs. Bennet informing that a new rich man has arrived to town and that it is imperative that his husband must meet him in order for the girls to have a chance of marrying him. As the book continues, the desire of the girls, and the rest of the town, to meet Mr. Bingley, the new neighbor, grows, forcing the town hall to make a party to welcome him. During the party Mr. Bingley arrives with some friends and family from London, among them is Bingleys sister and Mr. Darcy, a young, rich, and handsome man but with lack of respect and manners. In chapter four, we see how the Bennet sisters hate for Mr. Darcy grows and his relationship with Mr. Bingley.
The Great Gatsby and pride and prejudice
In chapter four, the relationship between Darcy and Bingley is described. It is described as a “very steady relationship”, and, it is also said that Darcy s judgment is of the “highest opinion.” In comparison with The Great Gatsby, we notice that this relationship is similar to the one of Gatsby and Nick, since their relation is steady and the former s judgment is of great importance in the book. It also caught my attention that a friend mentioned Bingley that house, just as a friend mentioned the house in East Egg to Nick. Finally, I noticed Mr. Darcy s relation with Gatsby. Both characters are smart, rich, young, and lack courtesy, for example: Darcy’s rudeness and Gatsby s hospitality.
