Questions this course answers

Why does the entail matter to the novel's marriage plot?

Longbourn is entailed away from the daughters, so courtship carries material stakes.

Put Elizabeth's change in understanding in order.

Impression, confirmation, new evidence, then self-knowledge.

Why is Darcy's second proposal more convincing than his first?

Austen makes reform visible as behavior, not as a prettier declaration.
