Pride and Prejudice Essay Thoughts

Ideas:
- Rich vs. Poor ideal
     - How Elizabeth is able to turn down offers of marriage so easily without thinking of benefits.

- How Mrs. Bennet is not so clueless, but actually greedy with a plan.
     - Throws her daughters at all men with a bank account and pulse.

- Why do the men with money, power over society and not the women with money?
     - Men have women thrown at them for their money but it doesn't seem like the other way around.

- Doesn't it feel as if the upper class should be more in charge, but it is the people of the Bennets social class that puppeteer the system of love for some reason.  Ironic.  Even though rich have a say, the way Darcey imposed on Jane's relationship still...

1) How do rich control the poor in the idea of society and other aspects of it? (in progress)
2) Why is it impossible for a women to be the women who is wanted and needed, rather than the man?
3) Why is the bond of marriage not as sacred? (seemingly)...ideas of truth and realness.
