Thank you so much for the nice comments on my essay. Your questions is an excellent one and I an delighted that you have come up with such an insightful question. 

I am not sure if Pride and Prejudice has any misunderstandings that personally remind me of Shakespeare but I do know that Austen enjoyed all of Shakespeare's plays and crafted some of her novels after the plot lines in his work. I ma not sure which novels she used this tactic, but there was some information online about her doing it.

One of the things I DO think reminds me of a Shakespeare play is the comedic elements that involve Elizabeth Bennet's mother. She was so completely socially inept that she just about ruined any chances that any of her daughters may have had. The thing that is so funny is that the mother was completely clueless as to her actions and the affect they had on the prospective husbands for her daughters. 

Thanks for your comments! Have a terrific weekend.
Jill
