Pride And Prejudice

I worked all day on the second essay for my university preparation course. I chose the question about Jane Austen's best-loved work.

"Good judgement is at the heart of this romantic comedy. Superior judgements, ethical judgements, hasty judgements, unbending judgements and really bad judgements are all examined. Why is good judgement so significant in the world of Pride And Prejudice? Is it merely a source of good comedy?"

Two and a half thousand words later (including quotes) I reached this conclusion:

"The proper deployment or misapplication of judgement in Pride And Prejudice, then, are not merely devices used to great effect in a romantic comedy of social manners. The crucial role good judgement plays in determining the success in the world of the novel is critical to understanding its intentions.

Elizabeth alerts the reader to those intentions when she observes, while dancing with Mr Darcy at the Netherfield ball:

It is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion to be secure of judging properly at first.

Jane Austen suggests that only by virtue of experience, reflection and self-knowledge can any of her characters come to understand, as her principals do, that Elizabeth's overt-confident criticism of propud Mr Darcy is prejudiced by a lack of self-knowledge, which ultimately only good judgement can bring."

I am a novice.
