Scholars argue that Federalist #10 can be considered the most important explanation of the genius of our federal political system. Written by James Madison, he directed everyone’s attention to the argument in favor of the Constitution, where many believed it established a government that was suited in regulating the corruption done by factions. However, Madison brought to attention the situation in the republican government, where the power is vested in the people, the majority would often sacrifice the minority’s rights to their own egotistical desires. He went further to argue that by setting up an extended republic, including multiple social groups, it would prevent the society from dividing between the wealthy and the poor.

Change is an essential part of life, and change in character throughout one’s life is a necessary aspect of being human. In Pride and Prejudice, several characters undergo some form change between the beginning and end of the book. However, in all other characters, these changes are neither as pronounced nor as focused on as with Elizabeth and Darcy. Throughout the book, Darcy and Elizabeth serve as the primary examples of the prevalent themes of “pride” and “prejudice” respectively. Elizabeth demonstrates her change from a critical, prejudice-prone woman through her relationship with Darcy, and Darcy demonstrates his change from a condemnatory, presumptuous man through his relationship with Elizabeth and behavior towards her relations.

Although her work was highly praised, some critics felt that Christine argued with the intent to only defend those women who were virtuous and who had prestige in their society or were held to a higher reputation than others. This can be seen as in The Book of the City of Ladies, she uses examples of women who were scholars, saints, and good wives to establish her argument about why women were worthy of the city.
