In Pride and Prejudice, who do you feel the most sympathy for?

Question

HELP!! I have to write an essay for my GCSE coursework on pride and prejudice and this is the question we've been given. Apart from the fact that I hate Jane Austen's works and cannot get into the book at all, I have no idea how to structure or word this essay.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Steph.

Answer 1

maybe choose three characters and do a paragraph for each saying why they deserve sympathy

hope this helps :)
