In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen perfectly exemplifies society's views on women and their roles, primarily, marriage. During the era which the novel is set, marriage is mainly viewed as a woman's occupation. However, it is also a fundamental guide in increasing ones' reputation. Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice emphasizes the
Pride and Prejudice is renowned for its strong feminist message. Kate Rorick has argued that “Elizabeth Bennet makes her own path in society, rejecting Mr. Collins and eventually marrying for love”. Whilst Elizabeth Bennet as a character, arguably more than any other Austen heroine, polarizes readers and critics alike, it is possible to argue that this independence leads to “dislike and rejection”.

Great Gatsby consists of themes that connect with novels such as The Catcher in the Rye, The Secret Life of Bees, The Color Purple, and The Crucible. Fitzgerald was able to incorporate themes such as prejudices, self-alienation, and reputations. The Great Gatsby had a reoccurring theme of prejudice towards the lower-class. The people of higher class would consider anyone below them to unfit and treat them inhumanely. For example, Daisy did not marry Gatsby because he had no social class and wealth
nicknames, like Washington’s professional football team, the Washington Redskins, are offensive, stereotypical, and often inaccurately portray American Indians. Max Larkin of WBUR wrote in his article Among Mass. Natives, Mascot Issue Reveals A Mix Of Pride And Pain that “The images are a force of a paradoxical invisibility on natives… many Americans know the mascots better than the real people they represent.” He is correct in the sense that Native American mascots do not depict who American Indians

Austen’s Pride and Prejudice were fixated on the actions and lifestyle that were expected of each social class. With the instrument of free indirect discourse, she exhibits the gradual decline of social expectations brought on by the transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century.

mobs destroyed Catholic lands, women were considered lesser valued than a man, and almost all Americans formed stereotypes that fortified loathsome feelings towards Native Americans. One of the few people who did not follow these moral injustices was James Fenimore Cooper. In his novel, The Last of the Mohicans, he voices disapproval of religious zeal, gender stereotypes, and racial stereotypes. Cooper did not approve of religious fanaticism in the 19th century. He created the characters of Gamut and
Ethnic identity begins to develop in an individual when that individual is of early adolescence. There are many models that illustrate this process, some of which are described within this paper. Many theorists have chosen to make this topic their topic of study, including Erik Erikson, James Marcia, and Jean Phinney. Each of these theorists used the models of previous theorists to construct their models, so although they all share several similarities, they are each different in their own way.
