When discussing female writers, perhaps Jane Austen is still a relatively new name to the youth of Vietnam in the 20th century. However, to many generations of people worldwide, especially in England, Jane Austen has become a \u201clegend\u201d, a multigenerational childhood companion of many. To this day, her name is still of paramount impact on 20th and 21st century writers and poets, after 200 years of glory in the world\u2019s literature tapestry. With all of her timeless and everlasting works of art, Jane Austen has made a name for herself as one of the greatest Western writers of all time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women archetypes in Jane Austen\u2019s novels <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not gentle, demure, or exceptionally accomplished in the conventional sense, Jane Austen\u2019s heroines are endowed with distinct personalities and striking individuality.\nThe image of the \u201cideal woman\u201d was never Jane Austen\u2019s ultimate pursuit. Instead, she allows her female characters to live fully and to savor their freedom\u2014even within social contexts where they are tightly constrained by countless prejudices. More specifically, Austen\u2019s heroines consistently find ways to rise above adversity when caught in the vortex of unhappy marriages and the many tragedies tied to family and social life.\n\nBut how do Jane Austen\u2019s women accomplish this?\nIt is precisely here that Jane Austen\u2019s uniqueness truly lies. The mysterious life of Jane Austen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Darkness hidden behind the veil at the back of a glorious stage might be the perfect metaphor for Jane\u2019s life. Besides her literary works, mails and basic information, we know virtually nothing about the life of this talented female novelist. Not until years later did Jane\u2019s work start to become popular among the public. Still, we could see Jane Austen, at least through her literature, her humous mind and clever satires, her female characters\u2019 personalities, or the entirety of which has created the one and only Jane Austen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The impact Jane Austen has on women and literature <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jane Austen, the \u201cgirl next door\u201d of English literature, is more than just a gifted writer, she is also a women's icon. She has proven that not only women can write, but they write very well!

If Jane Austen, like every writer of her time, had written about a \u201cdamsel in distress\u201d waiting to be saved and rescued, then her literary works would not have been so eternal. When we read through some of Jane Austen\u2019s, we are easily amused and hypnotized by her witty writing, totally convinced that her stories are not just make-believe. As if, Jane Austen herself is sitting in front of our nose, chattering with us like old mates. But to those who are not familiar with Jane Austen\u2019s works? Then, we shall take a look over \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d, one of the best classics of all time, and see how interesting Jane\u2019s girls are!
Scripted from 1796 to 1797 and printed in 1813, \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d is a story about love and marriage of a small aristocratic class of people of England in the 19th century. The story follows two characters, Elizabeth Bennet - daughter of a middle class family, and Fitzwilliam Darcy - a wealthy landlord. Their journey, however, did not start off with rose-tinted romance like we usually see. In fact, at the beginning, the lovebirds loathed each other.\n\nDarcy prides himself on his family\u2019s legacy and social status, which explains why he recoiled from Elizabeth at first because of her lower class origin. Similarly, Elizabeth did not have a good first impression of Darcy either. She has her own pride and abhorred his annoying personality. We can clearly deduce that Elizabeth is an independent woman, whose opinions are invariable. Even later in the story, when she had accepted Darcy\u2019s proposal, it was not until they had broken down prejudices they had for the other. Elizabeth is the epitome of female figures in Jane Austen\u2019s novels - that all women are willing to stand up and fight for their love and own stance in the face of social prejudices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jane\u2019s works, with her wit and humor, and a deep outlook on life, have helped her secure a place on the pedestal of literature history, contributing to changing society\u2019s perceptions of women and women\u2019s literature. Jane Austen had truly defied conventional stereotypes and continued to write books with a bantering, yet ironic and sharp tone. And, Jane\u2019s girls are no ordinary, they have become powerful, independent women, who readily stand up against social barriers and prejudices of their time.
Austen\u2019s literature has been a source of inspiration for many generations, while subsequently broadening the border of literature, permitting women to have a position in the history of literature. Isn\u2019t this something to take pride in? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
