“Pride and Prejudice” was written by Jane Austin and published in 1813. Since its publication, Pride and Prejudice has remained an extremely popular book with multiple film adaptations. The success of Pride and Prejudice can be attributed to many factors such as its idyllic setting, the tense romance between the two main characters and the witty dialogues. However, the relatability of the characters and the abundance of personality types reflected in modern society have made Pride and Prejudice one of the most beloved books of all time. We can use Jung's theory of personality types to classify each character. Jung states: “…my first concern must be with the two general types which I have called introverts and extroverts. But, in addition, I will also try to give some characterization of those particular types whose particularity lies in the fact that the most differentiated function plays the main role in the adaptation or orientation of an individual to life. (Jung)Just, introvert and extrovert are opposites of each other, the other types that make up a person's personality are also opposites of each other. This is best explained on the Meyer-Briggs Foundation website, which describes four "dichotomies." Introverted and extroverted make up the first set of dichotomies, followed by sensing and intuition, thinking and feeling, and judgment and perceiving. The combination of these characteristics constitutes a person's personality type. (Myers and Briggs Foundation) Using Jung's theories, we can analyze each character and identify what makes the character relatable. Elizabeth has a strong will and knows what she wants. "A style jumper by conviction as much as by instinct, she doesn't just flout conventions, she deliberately mocks them...... middle of paper ...... has enjoyed great success and will continue to delight readers for years to come because of its relatable characters.
