Thesis:
Susan Morgan's thesis is that perception plays a large role within the novel Pride and Prejudice.
Characters are able to evoke emotions from us the way they do because of perception within the novel.
Support of Thesis:
"Did you admire me for my impertinence"?" Her impertinence, of course, is why generations of readers have admired he, and why we recognize that the major concern of the book is with the possibilities and responsibility of free and lively thought'
Austen's "social" concerns are with human relations, not society.
Morgan argues that we take Pride and Prejudice regarding a very specific topic, such as society. Morgan goes on to say that Pride and Prejudice talks on a much grander scale, about the human race.
I do agree with Morgan's thesis. Austen has shown us throughout the novel that she is incredibly educated. She is intelligent enough to be able to write a novel that comments not only on the society of her time but one that can carry its meaning throughout the ages.
This information allows us to view Austen differently, we see her as a write that had great foresight. She was able to comment on a society she would never see just by her understanding of human relations from her time.
