Male Relationships

"Mr. Darcy handed the ladies into the carriage, and when it drove off, Elizabeth saw him walking slowly towards the house." (Chapt. 43, page 185).

Austin only wrote about what she knew from her life experiences. In her society it was not considered proper for women to be left alone in a room with a man. This is why there is no prespective from any of the male characters in Pride and Prejudice. This style is effective, because it creates a believable story, which is one of the reason's Austin's novels have endured.
