as a tangible place in the sky, and still was thought to be in the shape of
a man. This idea was challenged by another Hebrew prophet, Jeremiah. He
was the first to convey the message that god was holy, apart from the world,
and did not meddle in mortals lives. This change was brought about by the

... in her minor (functional) characters
as a means of demonstrating it's importance as a theme of this novel. Lady
Catherine is one of the main offenders, her airs, arrogance and pride are
fuelled by other characters like Mr Collins who is put there to satire
proud people and their followers. Another important character to note is

... her.
Although it is not clear, his behaviour seems to be partly derived from a
tragic sense that beautiful girls are not for him. As well, it seems to
come from an unprecedented, yet noble sense of duty combined with pity; and
a belief that he hasn't "got the guts to leave her" (Amis, 1953, 201).
