LESSON LEARNED: Pride & Prejudice is Nearly Void of Literary Devices!
Assonance: “She now lost every expectation of pleasure” (Austen 58). Personification: “...all the imagination her spirits could boast” (Austen 134). Foreshadowing: “They were all of them warm in her admiration; and at that moment, she felt that to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!” (Austen 248). - Elizabeth's first impression of Mr. Darcy's home is of pure admiralty, its architecture and view evokes eloquence. This admiration foreshadows Elizabeth's eventual romantic ties to Mr. Darcy, as she feels that to be Mr. Darcy's wife certainly has its perks. Repetition: “'My dear Jane, make haste and hurry down. He is come -- Mr. Bingley is come. -- He is, indeed. Make haste, make haste'” (Austen 292). Hyperbole: “'Oh! Lizzy ... If there were but such another man for you!''' 'If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you'” (Austen 294). Metonymy: “'Miss Bennet, there seemed to be a prettyish kind of a little wilderness on one side of your lawn. I should be glad to take a turn in it, if you will favour me with your company.'” (Austen 297). Dramatic Irony: “'Miss Bennet, I insist on being satisfied. Has he, has my nephew, made you an offer of marriage?' 'Your ladyship has declared it to be impossible.' 'It ought to be so; it must be so, while he retains the use of his reason. But ... you may have drawn him in.' 'If I have, I shall be the last person to confess it.' 'Let me be rightly understood. This match, to which you have the presumption to aspire, can never take place. No, never. Mr. Darcy is engaged to my daughter. Now what have you to say?' 'Only this; that if he is so, you can have no reason to suppose he will make an offer to me'” (Austen 298). Paradox: “Happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Mrs. Bennet got rid of her two most deserving daughters” (Austen 312). Symbolism: “Its banks were neither formal, nor falsely adorned. Elizabeth was delighted. She had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste” (Austen 248). - Symbol for Mr. Darcy's character Parallelism: “'I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation'” (Austen 311).

Morality through Experience
There is a certain and rather common belief that every child's mind begins pure. Initially, their slate is clean; mind void of any corrupt ideas or malicious ways. Morals will later be established they make their own experiences in life, their decisions reflected by the certain morals and values they uphold. I completely agree with this theory: Through life's experiences are morals built. Additionally, values play into the morals which furthermore affect consequent choices. By weighing one value against an another, we can form an aphorism which makes or breaks a decision. For example, when our class took part in the dilemna activity, each group had to incorporate each of their own morals to come to a final conclusion for each scenario. The absolute verdict is determined by boiling all the options down to two, considering the high and lows of each choice and choosing the lesser evil of the two. So yes, morals are not innate, but learned through experience. Through ordeals and trial and error are these morals established; the less important ones trashed for those of higher value and importance.
