In the classic novel Pride and Prejudice, author Jane Austen uses irony as one of her major tools in delivering the themes in her novel. Austen’s use of irony in respect to her themes of class, prejudice, and marriage, strengthens the overall impact of these themes. The term irony shall be considered as the manifestation of the absurdities that Austen uses to characterize the events in her novel. Austen’s use of irony is extremely intentional within this novel and is done in order to point out the intentional flaws found in her characters. Austen’s use of irony is designed to point out to the reader that the behaviors of her main characters, especially those in the upper classes, are actually demonstrative of the same problems that they themselves point out in the lower classes. Austin’s use of irony suggests that those of the upper classes are more prone to exhibit the distasteful behaviors that they often believe are found only in the lower classes, this is shown through the relationships of Elizabeth and Darcy, Miss.
