"for you are wasting you time with me" (7)
This conflict is man vs. man. Mr. Darcy stated this, after Mr. Bingley tried to convince him to dance with Elizabeth. Mr. Darcy just wants to say that he has no interest in Elizabeth whatsoever. He might as well just say, that no matter what you won't convince me to dance with her. I find this to be funny; here Darcy is saying he has no interest in Elizabeth, and then the next thing you know she is his main focus.

Father and Daughter Relationship
Mr. Bennet and Lizzy (Elizabeth) have a close relationship. The significance about this is, in total Mr. Bennet has five girls. But out of all of his children he favors Elizabeth above them all. The strength of this relationship, later on, prevents Elizabeth from accepting a proposal. Her father states that if she accepts he will never speak to her again.

Literary Element- Charater
"She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper." (3)
A charater is a person within a story or tale. This quote gives a pretty good discription of the character, Mrs. Bennet. The narrator stated this after Mr. and Mrs. Bennet finished their conversation about going to meet, the new wealthy man in town, Mr. Bingely. The purpose of this qoute is to introduce Mrs. Bennet and provide a outline of her personality. This just show that Mrs. Bennet has an average understanding, she doesn't really know much, and she has a random temper. To me Mrs. Bennet is the perfect shrew :), with this uncertain temper of hers I wonder how Mr. Bennet can stand her.

The End (Ch 24)
My life has now finally met its end. After suffering for so long I may now only hope to see the beloveds that I have lost. I shall now pass on in peace. But what is this? The creature! After making my life horrid, he dares to show his face! He most likely came to laugh at the corpse of his creator. But no, he comes to shed tears for the loss of the man who gave him life. He truly was just looking to be loved, he even regrets that which he did. I can only hope, that he too one day, finds peace.

Death (Ch 23)
It was supposed to me, so why did things end up this way? I just wanted to protect her, Elizabeth, so why did she in the end die? Fate has allowed my beloved to be taken away from me, oh why do those that I love suffer in my place? His hands, the hands of the creature are around her neck, choked to death oh what a way to die. I look up to once again see the smirk of the devil, gazing down on me. All my fault, the death of so many of my friends by this creature's hands. Whit anger I shot at him, but sadly I missed. I returned home to my father, just to see him die in my arms. The only thing now to live for is revenge. Revenge against the creature is now all that I live for.

Look Up To See A Pretty Face? (Ch 20)
I now sit in my laboratory with little light doing nothing, but dwelling in my thoughts. During this time I think of my past and the future. What if the event 3 years ago occur again? This new creature may be like my first, she could be even worse! He made many promises, but she has made no such things. What if they have children! What if in the end all that is accomplished is the creation of another monster with no purpose?!? What if she doesn't even like him? What if I doom the human race by creating her?
While all these what ifs swirled through my head I was being watched. I looked up, to see a dreadful site. On the other side of the window was the devil smiling. That was it! I destroyed the figure before me, that I had been working on. The creature, as if a volcano, erupted with anger. Questions of WHY? and other word were blasted at me. In the end a new promise was made, my life would be made into a living hell.
