Stoic Satire Jane Austen Style - with Stephanie Poppins


Listen Later

Pride and Prejudice explores themes that resonate with Stoic philosophy, particularly in its portrayal of characters' emotional responses and the importance of self-awareness. 

Elizabeth Bennet initially judges others based on first impressions and societal expectations, which aligns with the Stoic concept of not letting external factors influence one's judgment. 

However, she also learns to overcome her prejudice by acknowledging her own biases and recognising the value of introspection. 

This aligns with the Stoic emphasis on self-improvement and the pursuit of virtue.
