English Literature Pride & Prejudice Pride and Prejudice How does Austen use the character of Mr Darcy to shape events in Pride and Prejudice? It is important for readers to remember whilst reading any literature that the plot is not simply a story told to entertain; the characters not people; and the backdrop not simply a place. This is especially evident in Jane Austen?s novel Pride and Prejudice, but can also be found in fables or myths, as the plot conceals a moral decision.
