Pride and Prejudice is a classic novel written in the late 18th century, before Queen Victoria came to the throne. It is a novel that weaves together themes such as wealth, marriage, and social status that were central to 18th-century English society, during the period known as the Regency period. The terms refer to the English ruler between 1810 and 1820. The novel is set in rural England. The novel was set in Longbourn, England, specifically Bingley's house in Netherfield, Bennet's house in Longbourn, the house is located in rural Hardfordshire, Rosings Park in the county of Kent, Darcy's estate in Pemberley, which is the county of Derbyshire and Meryton where the market was. The dances were done in the evening until the hour of light. The setting makes the reader observe the difference by creating settings that capture the psychology of its characters and reflect social classes. Significance of the Setting First of all, the most significant setting of the novel is Rosings Park; this served to clarify what English aristocratic society was like. Miss Lady Catherine De Bourgh is distinguished by her way of dressing, manners and house. He has prejudices against the Bennet family. The opulence and elegance of Rosings Park is used to intimidate those who visit, demonstrating the nature of Lady De Bourgh's confrontational behaviour. This is a clear example of the setting reflecting the upper and lower class. Upper class and lower class How can you distinguish who belongs to the upper class and who belongs to the lower class? The author made a noticeable difference in the way they behaved, lived, dressed and thought. The upper class had an easy life, life was not difficult for them. Women dedicated themselves to home and family, while men worked and had good jobs, so they can afford a good education for their children and can go further afield.
