Visualizing Narrative Structures: Chapter-wise Character Relationship Networks in Novels

This study employs network graph analysis to explore the social interactions and relationships between characters in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. By constructing a network graph where each node represents a character and edges denote the frequency and nature of their interactions, the analysis provides a quantitative and visual representation of the novel’s social structure. The resulting network graph reveals the centrality and influence of various characters, highlighting key relationships and social dynamics within the narrative. Through this approach, the study not only enhances our understanding of character relationships but also demonstrates the utility of network analysis in literary studies, offering new insights into the interpersonal complexities of Pride and Prejudice.
