Word count: 1000-1100 words, excluding the Reference List

Use this thesis statement: “In her novel “Pride and Prejudice”, Jane Austen demonstrates that a person independent of gender and money can ruin relationships by being proud and prejudiced.”

In addition to the chosen thesis, your literary analysis needs to include textual evidence and literary elements that are relevant to the thesis.
Try to analyze that aspect of the novel into depth and support your ideas with textual evidence.
If you for example choose to focus on characters, you can consider whether or not you want to focus more on the differences or the similarities between the characters – what is the author trying to say with each character? How can you connect these ideas to the chosen thesis statement above? Is each character typical of their time period or not? There are so many things you could explore here.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
Students can understand both the whole and details and also implied meaning. Students can express themselves with good precision, in ways that are varied, balanced, clear and well structured. Students can choose and with certainty use strategies to search for relevant information, structure it and assess the reliability of different sources. Students discuss in detail and in a balanced way some features in different contexts and parts of the world where English is used, and can also make well-developed and balanced comparisons with their own experiences and knowledge.

Your essay should then consist of an introductory paragraph where you catch the reader’s attention and explain your thesis. Then 3 or 4 body paragraphs that explore different ideas related to your thesis, and then a conclusion to summarise your main ideas and finish off your argument. When writing an analysis like this, the bulk of each paragraph should be your own ideas. You should limit retelling the story to just the quotations themselves, and the quotations should be supporting an idea you have already introduced and explained beforehand. Then after the quote, you can elaborate and expand upon that idea, rather than just make a rushed comment about it. If you use additional sources, do not forget to include a reference list.
