5 pages in length. The relationship between gender and power is a popular theme in many of Jane Austen's novels, but perhaps nowhere is it a more significant focal point to the story's overall theme than in "Pride and Prejudice." The type of power available to women in late eighteenth century England is quite restrained, to say the least, by oppressive patriarchal influence; that Austen's female characters are allowed to overrule standard social dictate is indicative of the author's trend setting approach to gender issues. As well, the types of limitations women faced more than two hundred years ago – secondary to their male counterparts, prevented from seeking out their own paths in life, powerless against the patriarchal system – are made mockery of in Austen's novel, inasmuch as these particular women are given the literary power to pursue whatever they want. An example of gender and power in "Pride and Prejudice" is examining the interplay between Darcy and Elizabeth, as well as Charlotte and Elizabeth's individual views about marriage. No additional sources cited.
