Conformity has been an ongoing theme in the novels we have read this year and in our every day lives. In Pride and Prejudice we saw the Bennett sisters and other women of that time period conforming to the societal "norm" of marriage. Also the women in Pride and Prejudice are voiceless and lack the power to control the fates of their own lives. Conformity is also present in my generation. Every day my peers are afraid to show their true feelings/personalities because they feel it is not acceptable by their friends or family. For example people are sometimes afraid to be open about their preference in music or religion because it is different from what the majority believe or prefer. Conformity is evident in generations in the past and the present.
