Can someone give me some ideas for a interpretive problem for Pride and Prejudice??

Answer 1

What about how Darcy and Elizabeth both misinterpret each other?

Elizabeth also misinterprets Charlotte Lucas' character and motivations.

The Bennet parents also misinterpret and misunderstand each other constantly.

Mr. Collins misinterprets almost everyone.

Above all, consider how we, as readers, negotiate these shifting interpretations over the course of the story. How do we read correctly? Do we share Elizabeth's errors until a certain point in the story? How are we and Elizabeth enlightened by, for example, Darcy's letter?

Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "interpretive problem"...

A few points that may be left to use some imagination as to the extent of the meaning:

*The class differences... How were relationships between the social classes viewed in society?
*"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
... Universally acknowledged by WHOM?? "in want of a wife"... ??? or did she mean a young maiden to MAKE his wife??
*How about the assumptions made over the actions of others... (Mr Darcy about Jane's indifference... or... Elizabeth of Mr Darcy's arrogance...)

I don't know if any of that helped... hope so!

GOOD LUCK!! : D
