This thesis aims to provide a thorough analysis of the masculinities portrayed by the four selected male characters of Jane Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice. First, based on the articles of Hobbs (2013) and Reeser (2020), the concepts of hegemonic and alternative masculinities as introduced by the work of R.W. Connell are explained. Second, the construction of masculinity in the late 18th and early 19th century, as well as their reception in contemporary society are the topic of discussion, with the intention of providing a historical background for masculinity during Austen’s lifetime. Stafford’s (2008) article on the late Georgian Gentleman’s Magazine is used for this discussion, and Cohen’s (2005) work on masculinity in the same time. Finally, an analysis is conducted on the characters of Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Bennet, and Mr. Wickham. This analysis will vary depending on the characters, since they all portray different types of masculinities thus the focus of the chapters will differ as well. This is conducted with the application of scholarly arguments to each character, combined with a close reading of Pride and Prejudice. Lastly, the conclusions of Stafford’s (2008) study of the Gentleman’s Magazine is used to evaluate the masculinity of the four men selected. Mr. Darcy’s analysis is based on his role as a gentleman, Mr. Bingley as a tradesman, Mr. Bennet as a patriarch, and finally, Mr. Wickham as a rake.
