5. Pride and Prejudice

"About a year ago...Ramsgate...to consent to an elopement" (190).

Jane Austen uses the reference of Ramsgate within Mr. Darcy's letter to Elizabeth when he replies back to Elizabeth's accusations. Jane Austen used the reference to Ramsgate because it is an actual place and in writing from reality it lets the reader relate better to what is being said and they are also able to imagine the actual place within their minds. The relation between fiction and reality become intertwined, which causes a book to become more realistic and believable to the readers.
