MRS. BENNET: AUSTEN'S PUNCHING BAG
In the end, the only two essays in the entire red reader that didn't make me vomit blood were Mrs. Bennet: Austen's punching bag and an examination of class and economy: Austen's molding of Mr. Hurst. Both essays were the only two that set-up their arguments properly and made real, ambitious claims. They both integrated sophisticated language but I felt that strictly linguistically, Mrs. Bennet was superiour. Bennet, while slightly less ambitious than Mr. Hurst, was more interesting of a subject matter and flowed well from body paragraph to paragraph. Bennet also touched upon everything he brought up in the thesis, which, as a reader, leaves me satisfied.
