Setting

The setting sets the tone for any type of work is heavily affects how characters react. For example in some versions of the film Hamlet, the setting is very dark and establishes Hamlet is having a a very hard time and wants blood thirsty revenge. While on the other hand another version's setting is very light and makes Hamlet appear more insane and allows the viewers to see and visualize him repelling from sanity.

The setting in Pride and Prejudice is accurate to the time on how it actually was during that time in England. Jane Austin successfully uses setting as the perfect time frame to poke fun at how a women's main goal was to marry someone wealthy. Jane Austin uses Mrs. Bennett to exaggerate the women of that time frame very comedically by having her trying to get all her daughters married. Also the time setting in Pride and Prejudice express how the upper class looked down upon the lower class of that time.
