1971 The significance of a title such as The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn is easy to discover. However, in other works the full significance of the
title becomes apparent to the reader only gradually. Choose two works and
show how the significance of their respective titles is developed through
the author's use of devices such as contrast, repetition, allusion, and
point of view.
The title of Pride and Prejudice is very important to the meaning of the novel. One of the main themes is pride. Elizabeth is too strong and has to much pride to give in to Darcy's arrogant personality. She is a stubborn young woman who takes pride in what she believes in. Prejudices also play a huge role in the novel. Many people judge one another based on appearance and wealth. The Bennet family isn't particularly wealthy and therefore must work harder to find suitable matches for their daughters. Class is another prejudice in the novel. People are constantly being judged on their role and importance in society.
