Austen’s notion of selfhood

 

I need these questions answered, each 2-3 paragraphs with a quote from the books. Question #2 requires to know Robinson Crusoe as well. Question 1 requires to know Pride and Prejudice as well.

1.     What is modern man’s cardinal sin according to Tolstoy? Contrast with Question #7. Contrast Austen’s notion of selfhood and Tolstoy’s.

2.  In what sense does the moral of Tolstoy’s story retain elements of Robinsonesque individualism? In what other sense does it reject them?
