From your reading of the first 12 chapters of Pride and Prejudice, what do you notice about Austen's diction, or word choice? How does Austen's use of language affect your comprehension of the text?

I notice that the diction in the first 12 chapters of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is archaic. It shows the significance of the period of time in which it is written. Austen's use of language made it easier to comprehend the contrast between the characters and situations through the patterns of sentence structures as well as the use of vocabulary.
