"The ability to do anything quickly is always highly prized by those who possess it, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the execution." (1) Said Mr. Darcy. This is one of the most famous novels in the world, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice has fascinated readers since its publication of the story of the funny Elizabeth Bennet and her relationship with the aristocrat Fitzwilliam Darcy. During this essay we will explore the construction of the characters, in particular Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy will also explore the social situation in which the characters operate and explore their cultural context (Victorian England). The position of the writer Jane Austen, I find that she is trying to say that power is an effect of social structure and not an absolute force imposed on it, no one is completely powerful or powerless and also that power is an effect of unequal relations between people who society recognizes as belonging to certain groups such as gender, sexuality, age or profession. Power is linked to class and class is linked to reputation. Class boundaries are strictly drawn. While the Bennetts, who belong to the upper-middle class, can socialize with upper-class people such as Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. The main discourse of power represented in this book is wealth, class, family, marriage and gender. These are all significant in this book because Pride and Prejudice was written in the 18th-19th centuries (classical English society), “where in rural England it was dominated economically and socially by landowners whose vast estates formed the nucleus of life rural”(2), the others being men. When women just had to maintain their social and financial reputation by getting married… mid-paper… but the most important thing should be power. This essay explored the construction of the novel's characters, particularly Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, and demonstrated who is empowered and who is disempowered on many different levels of this novel. Even though this book invites all readers, even though the writing techniques are very different, the language of these times is up to the reader. By the end of the novel it is quite clear that there is power and powerlessness throughout the book, even if you don't notice it. Through the Darcy-Elizabeth and Bingley-Jane marriages, Austen shows the power of love and happiness in overcoming class boundaries and prejudice (power). “I struggled in vain. It won't work. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. (1) Mr. Darcy said to Elizabeth.
