As do Austen’s earlier writings, Pride and Prejudice displays the themes of appearance versus reality, and impulse versus deliberation.

• Boucher's Diana resting after her Bath, not a mythological painting !!!

  size. Mythological paintings were often painted on large canvases to symbolize the divinity and importance of the immortals depicted. The Rococo Movement is characterized by small canvases that were made to fit on wooden panels of smaller apartments, and “Diana Resting After Her Bath”, which measures 57 × 73 cm (22.4 × 28.7 in), would thus refer more to the characteristic of a genre painting than a mythological one. Furthermore, Diana is more sensual than a huntress, as she is nude....

Second, since motion is naturally inseparable from material body, if motion could be transferred, then a portion of body would be transferred too. But, since all change reduces to changes in motion, i...
