Episode 3: Self-Deception in Pride and Prejudice
Do Jane Austen's novels have a political teaching? What do her novels teach us about the economics of marriage and the possibility of dignity within marriage? What can we learn about the human propensities for self-deception and self-knowledge in her work? What does Austen have to tell us about liberal education?
Sarah Marsh and Tom Merrill discuss these and other questions in this wide-ranging discussion of Pride and Prejudice. Key passages discussed include:
Chapter 1, opening lines
Chapter 19 (Collins's proposal)
Chapter 54, end (Austen's remark about teaching)
