why. I chose Elizabeth because she is an easily related character, who in many ways reflected a lot of my personal beliefs and values. Writing mode: Writing a series of letters/ Monologue (Dramatic/Internal) or Editorial Piece Identify three key turning points within your choice of character’s narrative journey.

Series of Letters

 TP #1: Elizabeth’s first impressions building the foundation for her dislike against Darcy

 TP #2: Elizabeth’s change in heart towards Darcy, sparking her love towards him

 TP # 3: The beginning of Elizabeth’s happiness, starting from when Darcy proposes a second time

Consider how and why are you going to expand on the turning points you have identified. Are you going to fill in a gap or explore a silence? Consider what elements of context and setting you will include throughout your piece.

I will expand on these turning points through quotes and reference to the past (first letter), Expression of Elizabeth’s changing feelings (second letter) and Elizabeth’s overview of the past and her gratitude (third letter) I chose these turning points because they are undoubtably three of the most notable stages of the novel for the development of both Elizabeth and Darcy. I am filling a gap with each letter.

The context for the letters is: At Hunsford Parsonage, Kent, after Darcy’s first proposal (first letter) At Longbourn, Hertfordshire, the day before Darcy’s second proposal. (second letter) At Pemberley, Derbyshire, while Darcy is in London, set 2 months after the novels end. (third letter)

Key quotes with relevance 2 Planning Booklet: Year 12 Creative SAC

to your chosen character.

“Why, with so evident a design of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your will?” “your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike” “Hatred had vanished long ago, and [I have] almost as long been ashamed of ever feeling dislike against [you].” “I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness” “Is not general incivility the very essence of love?”

Key vocab to incorporate within your creative piece (remember you need to mimic the author’s writing style!)

amends, surmise (infer from incomplete evidence), countenance (appearance conveyed by a person’s face), cordial (politely warm and friendly) Disposition (a person’s personality and general qualities)

purpose. What is the letter writer hoping to communicate or achieve?

What is the main theme or idea from the text that the letter will explore?

What is the letter writer’s mood or attitude towards the person they are writing to?

To outline the dangerous effect of prejudice towards others in society Elizabeth’s purpose of writing changes drastically through the series of letters. First, showing disapproval of Darcy’s actions with relation to his pride, then shifting to communicate goals of reconciliation.

Prejudice

Elizabeth’s mood also shifts heavily throughout the letters. She at first is extremely upset and angry at Darcy for his humiliating proposal. She is then still upset, but mostly embarrassed and regretful in her second letter. In the third is when things finally turn around, and she shows the best sides of her personality through her lively nature and general felicity.

Are they communicating happy news to a loved one? Seeking advice about a difficult situation from someone they trust? Blackmailing an enemy? Write the opening paragraph of a letter.

Remember to write in a style and tone appropriate to your chosen character. Hunsford Parsonage, Kent 9th of April, 1812 Darcy, I understand how I must have damaged your pride in today’s confrontation. However, this was not my design. It's just that the remarks put forth by yourself were difficult to take lightly. I appreciate that it was not your intention to degrade me, but I beg you to truly consider the implications of your speech. Why, with so evident a design of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your will?
