The many meanings of “pride” and “prejudice”

Filed under: Jane in the News — Mags @ 10:54 pm

A Utah teacher used an online thesaurus as part of her lessons on Pride and Prejudice.

Sharlene Beck teaches English and creative writing at Hillcrest High, and recently used the visual thesaurus to teach a Jane Austen classic.

Sharlene Beck: “I used the thesauras to show them, first of all, a variety of meanings for ‘prejudice,’ a variety of meanings for ‘pride,’ and that some of them could be positive and some of them negative, that both words had mulitiple connotations.”

Very true!
