characters in pride and prejudice

mrs bennet- she is the wife of mr bennett who is a annoying and who is always trying to get her five daughters to marry wealthy men. she is always trying to come up with a sheme to get her daughters married... she is also a woman who speaks her mind and does not care who haens to hear her. mrs bennett also loves to have her way and when she does not get it, she plays the innocent victim, meaning that she accusing that person of denying her happiness.

mr bennett is the husband of mrs bennett. this character is very tolerable to his annoying wife who is always 'nagging' him in some situation. in this book we see mr bennett's love for a specific daughter elizabeth. we see this because when elizabeth goes to visit her friend for almost two months he writes to her and tells her to return soon.

mr darcy- this man is full of pride and looks down on the country people and sees them as inferior. he does not socializes with the people and everyone automatically resents him because of his distant behavior.

elizbeth- she is a very confident and strong will person who cares for her sister Jane. she is not as handsome as her sister jane but is favoured by wickham, darcy, and darcy's cousin fritzwilliam.

jane- the most beautiful sister in the bennett family she is quickly favured by mr bingely and by his sisters and even to mr darcy... she is a kind woman at the age of 23 ears old (the eldest) she is in love with mr bingely to the extent that whe nmmr bingely leave to london and then the rest of the goup follows, she visits her aunt and tries to findhim andwhen she finds out that bingely is 'with' darcy's sister she is heart broken.

lydia- is obsessed with officers and almost everyday she visits her aunt phillip to gossip and seek information about the officers and other events hat are to take place.

wickham- is a liar who deceives elizabeth then the whole of loungbourn by telling them of his ill nature with furtune due to mr darcy. he ties to marry any woman with wealth so that he cangain money.

dogberry (comedy)

One must agree that in the book Much Ado About Nothing, that humor is vital in any comedy, especially with the role of Dogberry and his constables, in solving and proving Hero's innocence.

Dogberry is an officer in which he sets men in front of Leanato's house because of the wedding that would take place the following day. Humor is brought out when dogberry and verges due to lack of education, and vocabulary skills they use words in the wrong context or sometimes put words that mean the opposite that they want to say. the misuse of words leads to a reaction of humor on the part of the reader.

We see the misuse of words in act 3 scene 3 " you are thought here to be the most senseless and fit men" in this quote senseless was used wrong inwhich the right word should have been sensible. also Dogberry and his ridiculous follower Verges brings out laughter to the viewer in the movie when the are riding a "horse" which is indeed invisible...

also while riding this invisible horse they make noises that the hoofs of the horse would make. furthermore the facial expressions when they talk brings further amusement to tthe views of this play. dogberry constant nagging of the perpetrators when they are captured and when he (dogberry) is accused of bieng an ass, brings joy and humor in the hearts of the both reader of the play and the viewers of the play.

to conclude, even though Dogberry and his constables are just minor charaters in this play, Much Ado about Nothing, they mostly contribute to the humor in the play which is vital in any comedy.

summery (much ado about nothing)

in this book there was a war inwhich benedick and claudio were one of the fighters in the battle and beatrice was disrespecting benedick to the messenger, talking bad about benedick saying that he didn't kill many in the war it was only claudio that did the killing. then benedick arrives and they both start quarelling with each other. don pedro and claudio holds a conversation inwhich claudio tells don pedro that he is in love with hero, and benedick tries to onbvince claudio that being a single man is the best thing to be and he also states that he would never get married. but don pedro tells claudio that he would help him win hero's heart. then after don pedro leaves claudio asks benedick how he feels about beatrice, inwhich he states that he hate her.
meanwhile news get back to leonato that claudio is in love woth his daughter hero, so he is going to prepare his daughter for the outcome. aside don john the bastard ( brother of don pedro) plans to distroy the marrage arrangement with the help of his assistant borachio.

at the Masked party beatrice is talking to a man (benedick) unknown of his identity and she starts talking about benedick in a bad way while one the other side don pedro acting as claudio gains hero's heart.

after the party both hero and ursela trick beatrice into loving benedick while claudio, don pedro, and leanato trick benedick into loving beatrice.
but don john and borachio makes margaret dress in hero's outfit and commint an act that is not fair for a young virgin lady and don john tells don pedro and claudio to look out the window and see that hero being unfaithful. and on the day of the wedding claudio embarrases hero and leaves her for dead.

much ado about nothing

in the movie, the character Don Pedro is a black man and is very well respected while Don John his brother is a white man who is a vey quiet. Leonato is looking man with Hero as a daughter and Beatrice as his neice. Beatrice in the movie acts very ''boyish'' because in the movie we see her climbing a tree. we see in the begginning that Hero and Claudio likes each other because they stare at each other sweetly. Benedick we see is a very handsome man and is teasing Beatrice in a smart way. Hero is a beautiful character that attracts Claudio at first sight.
while in the book there is hardly any differences since the characters actually say word for word in both book and movie. the only thing is that in the movie we can see the actual faces of the characters and know that it is a black man who played the role of Don Pedro. also in the movie we see that the men are not scornful of each other since they all bathed together and helped dresses each other, and this was the same for the females. for the music it was very soothing and tranquil and it helped to paint a picture of what was yet to come, and the music sounded very ancient and in the 50's.

Dear editor of the daiy observer,

I am a citizin of Antigua and Barbuda, who witnessed an attact on Brother Man from his fellow neighbors , inwhich he was stoned and beaten. This kind of act is outrageous and absurd, especially since this man John Power is a kind and giving and religious man who only seeks to do good by his people and by god, and anyone who was a part of this act should be ashamed of themselves.

We as a society look down on the rasta farians because we do not understand their ways. The way they dress, eat and wear thier hair are confussing to us so we tend to lash out on them freviously. This should not be the case since they have not comitted a crime and have not bothered anyone physically. We also as a society must live as one and accept everyone including rasta farians for who they are. Everyone has different believes, values and lifestyle but does that mean we must treat them with less respect? i think not! Rasta farians do not deserve to be treated any differently from others. a word to the wise is to treat others as you would have them treat you.

I close my letter and hope that people would heed my word and start treating everyone, includind rasta farians as one.

sincerly

work for narrative techniques

some narrative techniques Roger Mais uses in the book Brother Man are forshadowing, flashback,oniscient poit of view,imagery and motif.

Roger Mais develope charaterisation bycreating images of the characters' attitude towards other characters, for example papacita acts towards girlie always beating her and troubling minette shows that papacita is an and ubfaithful man. alsohe also descibes character by using imagery becauce we know that brother man is a rasta farian because in the book it stated that he wore locks.

the setting is the Lane

some themes are love, jealousy, hatred, obeah, greed and religion.

some plots in thisbook are papacita alwaya abusing girlie emotionally and physical and being unfaithful , inwhich he is troubling minette and then he left girlie so bacause of this she ended up killing him.
aslo another plot is when papacita always troubling minette but she never took him on becuase she was interested in brother man so papacita made cordeila set up brother man so he could go to jail so that he can have minette all to himself.


foreshadowing comes in play in this book when Bra Ambo came to brother mand for help to hold some obeah equipment from the police but brtoher man did not assist him because obeah goes against his believes and becausec of this the two would never have a good relationship in the future.

flashback comes into play when brother man thinks back to his female companion when he was in love and she betrayed him.
