AB This paper analyses social classes and gender roles in the Georgian Era in one of the most important novels by Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice (1813). The aim of this dissertation is to see how the author depicts the gender roles and social classes of her social context throughout the representation of the characters. Moreover, it is aimed at analysing how there is an imaginary wall created between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet by this division, and how the gender norms are connected to the social propriety of the period. In order to analyse these aspects in the novel, Georgian period’s social context and Jane Austen’s life has been studied. Finally, results show that most characters mirror the social conventions of the time, although some of them do not behave as they should. However, Darcy and Elizabeth are capable of contravene the rules of society and end up together.
