The thought of having someone else take your boyfriend away. Miss Bingley want Mr. Darcy, horrible man in my opinion, to be with her.
I am telling you, it is very important to have pride when he is a jerk. Yes, you may love him with all your heart and soul, and maybe you are so in love with him that it is impossible to think his eyes are not yours. Although love is in your heart, you have to think about yourself. Some guy's are jerks, I have discovered that through this last weeks. Girls are ...... too. Both sexes are horrible to one another, because we both attack each other, feel things for each other and break each other's hearts.
A girl is capable to do the impossible to show her dream guy her love. In the case of Pride and Prejudice Miss Bingley was "quite exhausted by the attempt to be amused with her own book, which she had only chosen because it was the second volume of his," (Austen pg 41).
Love is a reason for prejudice, we want to make him or her feel love for me. It is important what that person feels or thinks about me because it is the one I love.
Only advice, Don't let love be the only time you think about yourself.

Mom and Prejudice
Who criticizes teenagers the most? Incredibly is not the teachers at school, because they put up with us every single day. Not your dad, because he is almost not a home or because he wants to look younger. Not society, society needs us thats the whole deal. The who is this character? read the title!!!!!!!!! your mom is the person who criticizes you the most.
It is not that I am saying how horrible mother are, I am just saying how they are the most worried about you. Vanity is one thing, mom thoughts are other. "Darling that shirt looks wonderful on you" Universal meaning for this sentence, change of shirt right now. Mothers are really worried about your future and that is why they see the smallest mistake, because your perfect and people have to see it.
"If my children are silly I must hope to be always sensible of it" (Austen pg 21). This quote is only saying that mothers are also sensible at the fact that your just a kid and need space to do whatever you need to do. Still, this mother controlled their habits and manners so that a wealthy man would marry them. Moms depending on the time get worried about you, at that time marriage, at this time your college.
Mom's are great but if you think is prejudice is important in someone's life, then care allot about your mother's feelings.

What About Yourself?
Based on the first chapter, I am thinking Austen should have started with this phrase, "Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity (Another name for Prejudice) to what we would have others think of us". Its is truly acknowledged that people at high school only think of vanity, in this book's meaning of it.
Tell me the truth, have you ever had an out of dress code in which you don't think if you look handsome or pretty. In the case of girls we use perfume and makeup. In the case of guys I have no idea, maybe Cologne and really expensive clothes.
It is absolutely false the old saying, women are not the only vain. Why do women take so long at the bathroom? because we need a replacement session in which we put more makeup on. Why do guys take so little time at the bathroom? because they only need to pee, because they already know how gorgeous they look.
You see it is true even though you don't think this statement is true. Austen shows us how Elizabeth, the main character did not care about how people like Mr. Darcy thought about her, and this is how all people should behave.
This doesn't mean we can't be vain, it is good to let know people you feel pretty and that is why you use some makeup to show your beauty. It is only a meter for low self-esteem when we use those small things in an exaggerated way.
Human nature made us vain and proud, we only need to know how to manage them.

What´s Important?
Pride or prejudice? Is it better the way you think about yourself or the way other see on you? Well Jane Austen gives us the two views. Pride and Prejudice, is a book that shows how people thought about this important question in the old england, when marriage was the only thing a girl needed.
Austen begins with a simple phrase that for me it expresses the thoughts about that age perfectly, "It is a truth universally acknowledge that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a good wife." (Austen, Pg 1). Almost everyone knows that a rich man must marry a sweet and beautiful girl of his own level at the english society.
Obviously at modern times this is something people like me, feminists, think is something totally negative towards the true meaning of women. We are not another object for men to collect, we are not meant to be part of a man's wealth. Why do I go towards feminist movements? because Austen is leading us there, the first 4 chapters makes us think about our true meaning on earth.
At those times it was accepted, at this times it's not. Why do we still see it? Incredibly, for the same stupid reason. Women doesn't want to be left out of the public scene, marry a rich guy and there you go. Why do women instead of looking for a better way than just run towards this options? Because Society has pulled us there, we only have that option. We are the same society from two centuries ago.
Society is a vicious cycle, it never stopped.

The Final Battle
Hamlet comes to an end, he dies as he drinks from the cup that brought death not only to himself but also to his own mother and Uncle.
Why did Hamlet died? Not only because of the poison, but because of the criticism people did about him just for his weird way of acting. The world is a horrible place where murder takes place every now and then, but this is only because we don't respect ourselves as we are. High School is the same thing, we divide ourselves in different social groups depending on how we act. Since we are young we create a division between people that will cause more suffering in the world, suffering like the one Hamlet suffered because of people calling his actions as the ones from madness.
Shakespeare really worked hard on this book and gave an ending that makes us reflect, not only on the meaning of difference between the way people act, but also on how revenge, love and murder make part of our daily living and how they create the world that each day makes us sadder.
Do you enjoy living?

O Sweetie I killed Your Husband
What are you willing to do in order to get what you want? is killing an option?
In Act 3 scene 3 Claudius, new king of Denmark, is accepting that he killed his own brother, but he claims he did it to protect what he though was "my crown, mine own ambition and my queen" (Hamlet act 3 scene 3 line 59).
The world is full of killing and I accept it. My parents did not raised a dumb person. Killing will never be the answer to world wide problems, just look at Hamlet at the end he killed his friends, family and himself because he thought it was the only way. Was there another way to get revenge? maybe, but Shakespeare is showing us how human mind is programed to kill when we feel menaced, even when it is our own people, our own family, even ourselves.
Is killing the answer?

Acting Skills
It is of great importance to read a script, to read the book if there is one and to know the story by heart if you are going to compete in the world of acting. Shakespeare, which is a theatrical author, is using his play Hamlet to give his point of view towards what he thinks it is a good actor.
For many it is simply the one that knows how to make you laugh, for other the one that knows to say its lines as if he or she was actually saying them in real life. For me it is simple, a good actor is the one that knows how to explain its character perfectly through the small actions it does. It shows us its deepest feelings, not only sadness but depression and madness. A great actor is the one that keeps the audience interest every time he or she enters the stage although it only says one word because in theater you have to be able to call attention.
Shakespeare thought they where the representation of the "modest of nature" (Hamlet, act 3 scene 2, lines 20-21). He is right because an actor faces the stress of having to act someone completely different from its personality, but that is how humanity works, and for me there is no one that knows human behavior, as an actor does.

To Live or Die
It is easy for people to say they enjoy life, but do they really enjoy it?
Hamlet during the first scene of act three starts questioning what life is really about. In my personal opinion he is right, not only because during your whole life you encounter a so called "rub" (Hamlet, act 3 scene 3, line 73), but also because you are always waiting to go to sleep and encounter that place where your wildest dreams may come true and where problems seem distant and unseen.
Why do we like to sleep? It may be because of how fast the human body get tired, but also because while you sleep you encounter a whole new world full of the things you want the most. A kid would love a world made out of candy instead of the cabbage he had during dinner. Humans want sleep because it is when the mind and that person show the real desires, hopes and goals they want to achieve, dreams are the closest thing people have to knowing how the human mind works. Hamlet gave a new turn to human mind, Why live, instead of sleeping and being in that place that gives you all the things you desire?
Another matter, is how Hamlet talks about dead, yes while you sleep you go to wonderful places, but when you wake up they are gone and your simple life comes back. Isn't it better to die? just forget about everything and be dead instead of suffering everyday for not having the things you desire the most. Maybe this is an extreme but he is right.
Would you prefer living or dying?
