Read Chapters 31-end

1. If we consider the 4 main single bachelors (Bingly, Darcy, Wickham, and Collins) as men who seek happiness guided by 4 different world views, how does that worldview prove to either help or hinder the happiness of each? 
   Hint: Darcy is a realist, Bingly is an Aristotelian, Collins is an empiricist/utilitarian, Wickham is a hedonist.)
2. The works of Jane Austen have been the inspiration of numerous contemporary books and films, both adaptations and new original works. What universal themes in the novel resonate today?
3. Lady Catherine’s visit to Elizabeth to persuade her not to marry Darcy actually has the opposite effect and propels them toward the final conclusion, their marriage.

4. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet do not agree on very much, especially when it comes to their daughters’ futures. Who is the better parent—Mr. or Mrs. Bennet? What role does family play in this novel?
