Abstract

This study examines Charlotte Lucas’ marriage in Pride and Prejudice through a Marxist-feminist lens. Elizabeth Bennet’s romantic autonomy is often celebrated. This study highlights Charlotte’s pragmatic marriage as a strategic response to the constraints of class and gender that interact with each other. This study aims to examine Charlotte Lucas's socio-economic choices in Pride and Prejudice from a Marxist-Feminist perspective, highlighting the relationship between social class, economy, and gender in marriage decision-making. Through a thematic reading supported by Fraser’s three-dimensional theory of economic, cultural, and political justice and Walby’s intersectional theory of systems of oppression, this study argues that Charlotte’s choices reflect constrained agency shaped by structural constraints rather than passive obedience. Austen’s narrative is interpreted as a critique of the capitalist-patriarchal order that governs women’s lives by positioning Charlotte not as a submissive individual but as a figure navigating the struggle to survive within an oppressive social framework. In conclusion, Charlotte Lucas’ socio-economic choices in the novel Pride and Prejudice reflect the condition of women who are structurally marginalized in a patriarchal and capitalist society, where marriage is the only safe path to survival. The implication is that Charlotte Lucas’ socio-economic choices reflect the reality of middle-class women constrained by patriarchal systems and economic pressures in 19th-century English society. Through a Marxist-Feminist perspective, this study highlights how marriage becomes a survival strategy driven by class inequality and women’s economic dependence on men.

Abstract

This study examines the pragmatic strategies of politeness and expressive acts in Prime Minister James Marape’s historic 2024 address to the Australian Parliament. It focuses on how language is used to perform diplomacy, assert postcolonial identity, and reaffirm regional presence. The research aims to explore how speech acts particularly those expressing gratitude, acknowledgment, and storytelling serve not only interpersonal but also symbolic and ideological functions in high-level diplomatic discourse. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study is grounded in Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and informed by postcolonial pragmatics. Selected excerpts from the speech were analyzed for their pragmatic density and thematic relevance. The findings show that Marape employs positive politeness to foster solidarity and shared authority, negative politeness to express humility while affirming legitimacy, and off-record strategies especially narrative storytelling to reclaim historical voice. Expressive acts such as environmental imagery and geographic reframing reinforce Papua New Guinea’s national identity and geopolitical stance while maintaining diplomatic decorum. The analysis reveals that politeness in postcolonial diplomatic settings functions as a complex communicative strategy that negotiates power, history, and cultural dignity. This study contributes to the expanding field of postcolonial pragmatics by offering a Pacific perspective and illustrating how diplomatic speeches can serve as performative acts of historical redress and regional engagement.
