Chapter 44
Explanation and Analysis:

Pride and Prejudice is written from a third-person omniscient perspective, meaning the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters and shifts their focus throughout the novel. While mostly focused on capturing the opinions of characters, the narrator also shares their own judgments. They do so in a style that mimics the speaking style of the characters—often sharing critical feedback in seemingly polite or respectful ways.
