Question

which lines in these excerpts from jane austen’s pride and prejudice are examples of free indirect speech

Answer 1

When looking at literature, direct speech is easily discernible because

of the quotation marks seen before the quotation. Indirect speech, however, is not so easily discernible because there are no quotation marks that make it easy for readers

to see where the speech is. There are,

however, ques that clue readers in on where indirect speech begins as indirect

speech in literature is where what someone said is being discussed, described,

or reiterated. Words to look out for

could be “he said,” “she tells,” “all chanted,” “most talked about.” While there are descriptions of what someone

was thinking, there are no descriptions of speech. As such, and with this in mind, there does not

appear to be any sort of indirect speech included in the excerpts

provided.
